Oxford and Stevenage last July, weren't exactly testing our players ready for the Championship. Friendlies are for fitness exercises, nothing more.
Completely agree, which is why they should be free for ST holders and why I rarely go to them.

Whatever happened to the annual outing to play Lewes at the Dripping Pan? Happy memories of pints of Harveys on the terraces and a LuaLua screamer there 4 seasons ago...

Well to me it seems that the club has, year on year, been trying to attract a Premier League team or alternatively a top class European side, either of which usually dick us completely.
Worth noting that in the last few years we have beaten the then-European Champions and then-Europa League holders in pre-season games.

So, instead of going into the first League fxture of the season, we as supporters are left wondering how good or otherwise the team really is, and the squad are equally left shot of confidence in advance of a first League match which follows within usually six days, now potentially five !
Should go for an attractive fixture that we are likely to win, substantially even better !
Yes. And we were Champions that year.Was Southend the game where we were chanting bring on the champions before the teams came out? Didn't we get beat with Micky subbing Kuipers at half time?
Is it Red Bull Salzburg that Oscar Garcia manages these days? The club seem to like Austria. Maybe we could play them for our "overseas friendly"
I can't imagine we'll have a big turnout wherever it may be, but if they released it early enough we could tie it in with a holiday? (not me and you personally, you know what I mean).
Depends on the size of the club we play. It is school holidays.
