Been announced. Lots of behind closed doors games and a trip to Portugal.

Friday 1st July – Rochdale H (Training ground behind-closed-doors) 1pm.

Saturday 9th July – Wolves A (Training ground behind-closed-doors) / Burton Albion A 3:30pm.

Friday 15th July – Shrewsbury Town A 7:00pm.

Sunday 17th July – First team travel to Portugal.

Saturday 23rd – Return home from Portugal.

Not great for the fans is it.

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

Lots? 2 and 2 away games plus the trip to Portugal.

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

Wrote it quickly. 4 out of 6 is lots to me though.

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.

Thanks. Won't be much of a squeeze then

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.

It’s no different from watching an England friendly imo.

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

Don't watch them on TV never mind pay to watch

Will any of the pre-season games be streamed?
