Pre-season friendlies 2014

by shaka's shorts » 19 May 2014 12:12

I see we are away at Salisbury on Sat July 19th (Charles Watts Twitter). Where else do you hope / think we will play? I am expecting the usual non-league local games and a few league 1 teams as we get closer to the start of the season with a Prem team at home on Sat 2nd Aug?

Probably no chance of a European tour (Sweden / Slovenia) with the money so tight....

We should make Sevilla come and play us as part of any Caricco deal.

Last time we had a friendly against Aldershot Town FC (1992) Ltd the locals had a spazzy fit and starting hurling bricks at the away fans :lol:

I'm genuinely looking forward to Aldershot turning into Barcelona next season, turns out it was just a new pitch they needed

Didn't we have a friendly there last summer, or recently? Maybe it was just a fringe 11, but I'm sure we had one.

hmm. I'd have thought being shot four strides from the starting gate is nearer the mark.

SPARTA Add Thurrock to the list.


Same day as the Salisbury game , on the Thurrock website it says "Reading XI" so I'm guessing the 1st team will be at Salisbury

Usual mix of first teamers and academy products at both games.

Thurrock :|

There are decent local non-league clubs we could take a youth side to but instead they drag them round to Essex, the worst county in England :|

A reasonable fixture list there.

Will probably do Exeter to tick another ground off. Have been to all the other grounds, but might still get to a couple of games.

Do Aldershot hold the record for number of times in administration ?

And what is 'Ebb' ?
