Well, last year it was effectively the U23 team plus Elmo. It was slightly disappointing on the day considering it was the first team the year before, at least this year people know in advance and less grumbling in the stands.
The Under-23s have had three further pre-season friendlies confirmed as part of their preparations ahead of the 2017/18 campaign. It has already been announced that Jon Beale’s side will begin their pre-season campaign with a trip to North Ferriby United for the Billy Bly Memorial Trophy on Saturday 15th July (KO 3pm). And it has now been confirmed that the young Tigers will also face further fixtures away at Bridlington Town, Shaw Lane and Aberystwyth Town. After returning from a training camp in Spain, the Under-23s will take on Bridlington Town at Queensgate on Saturday 29th July (KO 3pm) before taking on Shaw Lane AFC on Wednesday 2nd August (KO 7.45pm). The Tigers will then round off their preparations for the new season with a trip to Wales to face Aberystwyth Town - who are managed by former Tigers Academy Manager Tony Pennock - on Sunday 6th August (KO 2pm).
Portugal Pre-Season: Statement Supporters considering following the Tigers to their pre-season fixtures in Portugal are advised not to book travel and accommodation until further notice. With temperatures on the Algarve forecast to soar well above average next month, the Club is currently carrying out a medical risk assessment and considering its options for the pre-season training camp. The Club wants to guarantee the best possible conditions to help the players and our new Head Coach to prepare for the coming season. Any supporters who have already booked trips out to Portugal should keep their bookings as a decision will be made early next week. Those that have already booked should contact [email protected] in order for the Club to understand the impact on supporters.
Looks like we'll be having a week on the lash with no football to watch, hey ho. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Pussies. Bit of warm weather training did me no harm. I spent most of it pissed but still managed a solid 90 minutes plus 3 additionals on Sunday. Pussies.
Indeed. Ironic really that for a change the club announces the details early, and then circumstances conspire against them. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
