[Bromo18]

We've just had another one confirmed against Leicester on the 1st August.

 

[El Guapo]

I can barely contain my excitement...

 

[JP_LUFC]

Rangers coming to Elland Road in July.

 

[TheWednesday]

Another one announced for us away at Gainsborough Trinity, 30th July. Guessing it will be a mixture of development squad and fringe players.

 

[Dazza]

Friendly confirmed against Bristol Rovers away

 

[Luke_1884]

Benfica friendly cancelled, they're off to the US for a tour. Wonder who the "curtain raiser" will be now, probably Sunderland or some other PL giant.

 

[Dazza]

Crawley away on Monday 27th July

 

[markwwfc1992]

Doncaster, Burton and Shrewsbury away all confirmed so far.

 

[Ciderhead]

Yeovil away for us on 30th July

Austria to play Athletic Bilbao and Norway to play Hoffenheim.

 

[Ciderup]

We are playing Aston Villa in Albafuira on July 17th.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Yeah, we've just announced Villa at home too on the 28th July... looking forward to that one.

 

[Madejski]

Reading v Swansea also announced. I think since they beat us in the playoffs we've played them in 4 of the last 5 pre-seasons...

Though strangely this time we're playing at Adams Park (Wycombe)

 

[Calypso]

Police have shit themselves over the Rangers game, so it looks like we will be getting Everton at Elland Road instead. Meh.

 

[DippyDon]

Our usual Buckingham/Newport Pagnell double header where we will split the team has been announced today, but more excitingly we have barnet away, 2 years ago that was good as we opened The Hive and won 4-1, looking forward to that

Buckingham and Newport Pagnell - 18th July
Barnet - 25th July

Reading v Swansea also announced. I think since they beat us in the playoffs we've played them in 4 of the last 5 pre-seasons...

This will be the third pre season in a row we have played Swansea.No idea why its at Adams Park.

 

[Dazza]

Playing a Thailand all star team in Bangkok on July 8th.

Did adkins take you abroad last year?

 

[Dazza]

Did adkins take you abroad last year?

Nope.Played a couple of friendlys down in the west country.We couldnt afford to go abroad last season with the ownership problems we had.That didnt help him during his time here.

The football we played under him in most parts was as dull as i have seen us play since the late 90s and some of the most inept Reading performances i can remember.He talked utter crap most of the time especially after games we lost.

That said he did a good job at Southampton and Scunthorpe.

Cheers for that hopefully he does a job like he did at saints n scunny then.

 

[Madejski]

Yea, you hate his after game interviews when you're not following his team, you hate them even more when he's managing your team.

In his last game, we had just lost 6-1 to Birmingham and he came out and said that at least we had more possession.

Though his time at Reading was full of false promises from owners, so as bad as he was, he got no help.

That is what i like about Steve Clarke.After the game when he talks to BBC Berkshire he tells it like it is and if we have played badly he says we have where as Adkins always put a positive spin on everything.

This is what he said after that Birmingham game.Bad goals cost us with poor defensive errors, still we had the lions share of possession and had some good chances with the ball today, we will take the positives and move on to Watford.

The only positive that day was that it was only 6-1 Birmingham.

That being said.If he is given some money to spend at Sheffield United he will get them promoted.

 

[SF_]

We're playing Ashington FC (away), never heard of them and had to Google where the fuck it was, turns out they're managed by Steve Harmison....What the fuck?

 

[DippyDon]

Mansfield Away on the 21st July, been public knowledge for about 3 weeks on the Mansfield side of things, finally official

 

[Bobbin']

Was expecting the usual dull affair this pre-season but the club have done quite well this year.

We obviously have the all too predictable trip to Belgium but also have two home games against West Ham and Chievo.

You're also playing Carlisle away on a warm Tuesday night.

You're also playing Carlisle away on a warm Tuesday night.

Yeah, think it's the day after the Ashington game, so it will be a split squad most likely.

We're also playing Bury away in our final pre-season fixture.

Rumours of Hearts and Real Sociedad at Deepdale.

 

[zanderpne]

We're playing Real Sociadad at home apparently.

It's much better than playing liverpool and seeing all the tits with their half and half scarves. Plus we'll get to see David
