Rangers would be good.
I love Edinburgh, but people keep telling me Glasgow is a great place as well. Stevie G would be happy for lil old Burnley to visit, surely.

Yes both Cities well worth visiting, Glasgow working class and Edinburgh middle class but that's being a bit simplistic, Glasgow has some lovely open spaces quite surprisingly for a city.

I would love to go back up to Glasgow. I would be staying over this though as the last train back down south is far to early at 6.40pm.

Think it’s already built or is this in addition to the one he already has?

I’d have thought Quinta again. The Campus. Great facilities.

Glasgow has everything. Modern, historic, cool, safe.

I'd be happy with Rangers given that I missed the previous 2 games but can't see us going up there again.

Are we seriously going to a place for pre season just saw the manager can check up on the builders?

Yes, yes we are. That is the exact reason why we would do this. Dyche has proven time and again he has no clue about football and no commitment to our cause. He is purely in this for the money to pay for the house and labour and for the excuse to spend a week checking up on the work being done!

We moved on from Rangers when Warburton went to Forest so we went there instead. He's now at QPR but I would suspect too late for us to arrange that one.

Well I know there's plenty of time yet but if they are coming to the SW then an early booking is advised and the weather can be relied on as we know, also if we stay in this Country the club can save money with the £ being weak at the moment on the exchange markets.

So what is there not to like Sean old bean you know it makes sense :D

Shouldn't we not be off to Asia maximising revenue and hooking up with more Asian betting companies than checking on the progress of the managers villa

Does anyone know the usual dates of our foreign pre season matches. If we were to have them. I know its impossible to say but a 2 week time time frame of when they usually are would be great so I could look at whether it lines up with shifts at work and enable me to start putting some pennies away on the off chance of making it

Glasgows a great city. Rougher round the edges but still great. Very underrated. Similar to Liverpool in a lot of ways.

Usually back in training early July. If we go away I'd guess it be anytime between around 10th to 25th July. Someone mentioned a rumour of us playing a friendly at Wigan 27th July.

If you look on the fixtures section of this site it will give you every date of every pre season game played.

Mind you, transport would still go up to £700 overnight!
That would be the journey home. You would be paid to go.

So I wasn't wrong on the number of games. And was just over the border with the country.
