Pre-Season Friendlies

[Puncturedtractortyre]

So, 1st up - Gorleston today. Anyone here going?

 

[Cruyff's Turn]

Is it a 3pm kick off? (Yes it is, I just looked I may go along)

 

[Puncturedtractortyre]

I'm at Caister at the mo, so may be tempted to pop down and add to local football's coffers

 

[canary-dave]

I wish I could get there, very interesting set-up, the game is 120 minutes divided into 4 30 minute sections, should mean everyone gets decent time on the pitch!

Could on of you who is going please take notes and give us a summary?

 

[Puncturedtractortyre]

I now have 2 tickets, so if someone fancies meeting me there?

 

[DHCanary]

I thought the Cambridge game was the extended one, or are all our early fixtures?

 

[Puncturedtractortyre]

1st I've heard of this format

You're right, my bad, would still like a summary though!

Norwich City FC ‏@NorwichCityFC 9m9 minutes ago
Second half XI: Rudd; McGrandles, Turner, Bassong, Hall-Johnson; Jacob Murphy, O'Neil, Howson, Johnson; Hooper, Grabban. [HASHTAG]#ncfc[/HASHTAG]

A strange ground - it would be claustrophobic if it was empty, let alone 3000 odd squeezed in.

Make that 5-0 - Jerome hat trick, Andreu and Vadis; so almost like 2 new signings playing

 

[Puncturedtractortyre]

I was a bit surprised to see Mulumbu and RVW weren't involved.

 

[KIO]

Mulumbu yes, but RvW won't pull on a yellow jersey again IMO

 

[DHCanary]

Apparently all those involved in internationals over the summer have a different program, hence no Whittaker, Martin or Wes too.

RvW is back in training apparently.

 

[Walsh.i.am]

Vadis and Andreu get special mentions in this piece. (And Turner)

I am looking forward to the impact a fully fit Ofoe can make in the coming season.

 

[Puncturedtractortyre]

So who's going to Hitchin tonight?

 

[ncgandy]

Anyone going to Cambridge tonight, do enjoy!

One of my daughters lives there and I had it in mind to go along with her and her hubby tonight. However, her and Mrs G have booked us Shakespeare at King's College without my knowledge at precisely the same time!

I was expecting to see Alex Neil's Merry Men, not the Merry Wives of Fecking Windsor!
