Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 A couple of 'local' ones to try things out... Notts Co? Chesterfield? Rooney is still here... so Man Utd and Salford will be on the list. Plus we have to play for the Brian Clough Trophy... so F*rest. Then a random European team at PP... I'll guess Athletic Bilbao... the last couple have been Spanish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably only be one of the less interesting mid to lower PL teams playing a mixture of first team and fringe players. OK, it might attract a slightly bigger crowd but I’d rather we played a team that will be a better preparation for life in league 1. Maybe one of those that missed out on the L2 play offs or one of those promoted to the championship. I’m not sure we need a “glamour” club to end the friendly games with.

Wolfie20 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Given the possible size of our squad, how about a tour of the local 6-a-side Leisure Leagues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadAmster Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Let's not get ahead of ourselves..... let's first make sure we HAVE a 22/23 season. Nothing abroad, obviously, due to the financial situation. Start off with non League, L2, SBC and close with a PL team. That or Rangers again. They'd bring thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably still be assembling a squad of players so uk based and a range of teams like yours looks sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'd like us to play teams who's fans have been the most supportive/least nobbish during our struggles : AFC Bury Oldham Athletic Blackpool Bournemouth Benefit of two seaside outings there, then finish off with a home game against a lower half team from one of the major European leagues.

No room for sentiment for me and, apart from a potential money spinner, I don’t see the point of a game against a lower half team from one of the European leagues. I’d prefer we played against teams that are going to help prepare us for life in league one. Maybe one of the teams promoted to the championship or one that that just missed out in the play offs from league 2. Final game at home against Sunderland, Rotherham or Wigan. Not as glamorous as some might like but, depending on what teams we both put out, a decent test against an upper end league 1 team. Given we would have been an average championship team without the points deduction, such a game may also be attractive to one of those three teams. Although, again, the team we would put out might not bare much resemblance to the one that played last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
