Think I’ll try to go to Shrewsbury, since that’ll be my lot for pre-season games!!

No home games as they are changing the pitch, before anyone has a go

Was always going to be a difficult job scheduling games with such a short off season this time

TBF Pre-season isn't for the fans. I don't mind this

I haven't read the dates or studied the schedule, but they tend to announce a another one just before the start of the season, usually against a European team

They’re back from Portugal on the 23rd July so doubt that’ll happen.

Looks like maybe they will skip that this year with the apparent pitch work

How many does the away end at Shrewsbury hold? Actually how many does the ground hold 🤣

Just under 10,000, about 1,800 in the away end.

Hopefully this is a working progress, usually around 6 to 8 games would be an ideal number.

I think two games are being played in Portugal so that would take the tally up.

That would make sense, we have time to arrange these games also. Would make for a good preseason.

Pre season isn't for fans

I never understand paying to watch a training session

Course it’s also for the fans! Seeing us play against European sides at Turf Moor has been great.

Pre seasons for team bonding with the new players and getting match practice.....if fans want to watch that..well fair play to them.
