Pre-season

[TW7R]

Anyone know when the club normally release details?

Wouldn't mind a trip to the coast in the sun, Pompey or Southend would be good.

Ian Taylor said plans were finalised yesterday and would be announced shortly

Cheers Wests. 1 week after the season finishes, and already thinking about the next game.

World Cup or not, can't stand pre season. Bores the **** out of me.

I know not many on here like it, but at least there's a bit of cricket to go to. Good oppertunity for a pint in the sun.

Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

Please a week in Spain or something

[Kevster269]

We MUST be due a decent pre season surely?!! Can't remember the last time we started a season after some decent fixtures and performances. We always seem to be 2-3 weeks behind everyone else.

I imagine with plans sorted this late, the opportunities weren't great.

[West Acton]

Looks like tour of West Country, few games in Europe and couple of home games against bigger sides

Another Ibiza tournament would be good!

Whatever is arranged we mustn't lose sight of what they are meant to achieve, ie, getting the team ready for the start of the season. Said at the time in my opinion, one of the main reasons our last prem campaign started disastrously was because we were woefully ill prepared by poor pre season matches in Asia. Yes is was a marketing success, but when we were beating teams easily 5-0 with a mix of first teamers, youth players and trialists, the penny should drop that they aren't worth playing. It was far too easy and complacency was allowed to set in. We'd have got a better challenge having a training match among the squad.

We started the campaign losing 0-5 to Swansea and the pressure mounted and compounded the situation thereafter to the point it became a joke. We can't let that sort of thing happen again.

Anywhere in Southern Europe is fine in my book
