    So only one home friendly then? No mention of the ML Cup either...

    Lallana said they were going to be away a long time. I suspect there will also be Saints IX playing at home. The Leihberr Bear Trophy may be presented after the August 10th game...just not the usual format.

    Yeah, no doubt there will be some home friendlies for a Southampton XI team.
    Probably against Championship/League 1 opponents as well as the annual trip to Eastleigh.

    Yeah, usually the youngsters playing local sides (do we still need to play Eastleigh as per Aaron Martin's contract or has that stopped now?).

    Would love to get to some of these, Schalke would be a great game.

    Maybe when we play Schalke we'll be able to lure Draxler to Saints. :)

    Good luck with that one. My money says Dortmund are his most likely suitors.

    No chance; Schalke and Dortmund are massive local rivals. Dortmund almost certainly have Eriksen and Bernard anyway.

    My take was that the Liebherr Memorial Trophy format was predicated around Adkins' scinetific view that a last-week intense 45min work out (with 2 different sides) would be better preparation than a 90min match. Perhaps MoPo just disagrees with this...

    Yeah good point. We might be going for something part-way through the season.
    If it was in scheduled for January, it would give us a good chance of getting a top European opponent as most of the European leagues are on winter break during this time.

    I reckon there is a good chance a fair few Saints fans will be on their holidays in that region at that time.

    Doesn't look like a bad place to spend the weekend!

    To be honest I think the ML cup format is pretty crap for pre-season preparation.
