Lack of pre season games

I know pal, just getting a bit worried the lack of movement on this front.

We'll probably have 2 games out in Portugal, a midweek game when they return and then another game on 23rd. Probably won't have a home game this time though unless it's the midweek after Portugal. 23rd is same weekend as tramlines.

I know pre season is mainly about Getting fitness 

 

But for once I like us to face a team that will challenge us 

 

Make us learn something about the players before the season starts 

Weaknesses ect

Under 23s are having a friendly vs Stocksbridge in July.

 

Yep on the 26th, a Tuesday night.  SPS have it listed but there's no mention on our OS ... yet

However, there are details of a whole bunch of U18 pre-season games,  although the dates suggest some might well

be 'academy' fixtures like the upcoming game at Wakefield

 

Strange shortage of senior games though, we'd normally expect around 5 or 6 with crowds in attendance   :sad:

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can ever be learnt about the upcoming season from results in pre season.

 

All about fitness and I'm sure the behind closed door matches will be more than suitable.

 

Harder to schedule given the shorter pre season.

 

Less chance of key players getting injured unnecessarily.

Be reyt.

People need to remember we start the season much earlier this year due to the winter world cup, means players should have retained more of their fitness. Not worried at all. 

Only a week earlier

did we finish last season earlier too?

I mean I know we had our playoff games so we did but was the actual season over later. Feels like the new season is coming around much quicker this time.
