Pre-Season 2026/27 - Pre-Season Friendlies

God to prepare for the season with plenty of opportunity to score goals and win games but not sure these will be a huge test.
Barnet are Ok as a top of League 2 side but im hoping we have someone as a bit more of a test.
A prem side or a repeat of the Palermo type opposition?

Do we need any practice for sitting back and chasing shadows? Spent two years doing that, maybe its a good idea to play some teams who we are going to attack against, we looked a bit clueless in the two games against lower opposition last year so lets hope these games get us ready for actually having ago at teams.
 
No ticket news for our friendly at Aldershot as yet then, My Daughter said they have been selling theirs for the past couple of weeks to home fans, not that it matters much as its a Tuesday night so i dont suppose their will be much interest from our end.
 
10 quid for an Aldershot terrace ticket too. I will be getting involved in that
 
Tickets for Barmet away are avaible on the hive London website.
Select the away section £14 for adults,over 65 £9 ,13-19 £3 ,u13s £1 .

Sensible.pricing🤗.
 
Why is Ipswich a midday Saturday kick-off?
I guess it makes it almost impossible for away fans to get there on the day on public transport.
Also any exiles thinking about the match.
It’s not like it’s a tv game where they’ve moved it to 12:30.

It’s a double header. Return match in Ipswich at 7:30

The KR double friendly schedule. I personally see nothing wrong with that, if you have a big enough squad to make it work. Obviously it's a bit tricky for the travelling fans, which is why doing that against the same side would be far more practical from that perspective, though I understand they will want to test themselves against a couple of first teams rather than a set of youngsters/reserves.

F*ck me.

In seven months we've gone from competing with, and beating (on one of the greatest nights Grenoble Road has ever seen) an Ipswich side for whom we are now just 50% of some toe-curling double-header that appears to have been devised entirely for geographical convenience.

Grim.

Ah, but were we chosen because we are near Wycombe, or were they chosen because they are near us?
 
I wonder how many Ipswich fans will go to both games?

Yes I enjoyed the Palmero game after winning tickets at Truck (despite hating PSFs generally).

But I’d want us to play against clubs that get us best prepared for competing in the league - if that includes an overseas club, great. If it means only playing against Crawley and the like, then I’d go with that despite it being distinctly unsexy.

My understanding is Durex have stopped sending stock to Crawley, due to how much of a turn off it is being there.

Ipswich preparing for a season in the premier are fine to play us and Wycombe in pre season games.

Oxford fans, preparing for a season in league one, think its beneath them to play Crawley in a pre season game because we spent two seasons in the championship.
