Pre Season Thread

[denzel ecfc]

Anyone got anywhere decent lined up? Usual tour of South West non league for us, and we are trying to get a PL or Championship side to SJP without much success at the moment.
I presume Wrexham will be in California again. We will be in Cornwall..

 

[terrier17]

Our pre season will be in Austria this time around, potentially same base as our pre season from when we were in the premier league but no details yet.
Anything will be better preparation than the pub sides we faced in Cornwall last year under Warnock!

California and Toronto this year.

 

[Luke Imp]

We're back to Spain, with Preston being the only confirmed game out there.

 

[The Terminator]

We're away to Hearts on Saturday 14th July and away in Spain 21st-26th July playing a game against another EFL side at somepoint that week.

 

[folletto]

Slovenia for us, a Nathan Jones special apparently

 

[HutchECFC]

Who needs Spain, Slovenia & Austria when you have Tiverton, Weston-Super-Mare & Yeovil...

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

Chelsea and Bournemouth in California, followed by Vancouver Whitecaps from the MLS

Parky said he's hoping to get a game at the Racecourse before the season starts also.

 

[thewwfc]

Radio silence on ours, but I can’t recall us ever having an interesting away jolly beyond some Ibiza trip to take part in some local nothing cup competition one time.

 

[AdamStag]

Wow, you lot do it posh up here

All i know is mansfield will play a friendly away at matlock town, as clough likes to take his dog.

 

[Millerbri]

When he was here last time Steve Evans used to like a tour of Scotland and I used to enjoy that.
No news yet though.

We went to portugal when we were unfortunate enough to have him managing us, certainly doesn’t like to stop at home.

To be fair, Mansfield or Portugal isn't exactly a difficult choice

Very true, bet the mccanns would’ve preferred mansfield mind

 

[Conker]

Can confirm I have visited places in Portugal much less appealing than Mansfield, Faro is definitely not one of them mind!

 

[Conker]

Mansfield used to do Portugal or Malta, Clough just takes them up to Scotland for a few days, all part of the Frugal Mansfield that is now the standard.

I enjoyed the trip to malta. Damp scotland doesn’t quite have the same appeal.

 

[Stocky]

We're in Spain to play Derby. That Pinatar place everyone goes. We played Lincoln there last season.

Nothing else announced, imagine a few local aways, we often play Altrincham but I've heard Oldham mentioned this summer.

We’ve played oldham away the last 2 seasons, oddly.

 

[Luke Imp]

We've added Oldham and Harrogate, both away.

Harrogate for the day is lovely, harrogate as the club and ground should provide any necessary motivation to not get relegated.

I didn't realise their ground was right on the side of a main road and the turnstiles on the pavement until I went past it two or three years ago.

Ours provides motivation for everyone to get promoted to the Champ

Yeah i saw you’d done up that stand behind the goal. Not been down to yours since that fateful day you went down and thought we all had bristol city fans in with us!

Assuming by you erecting that stand that you’re moving away from the idea of, well moving away!

Do they still only allow 500 away fans in? At least Sutton built a new stand

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Will do Harrogate away as a new ground. Can't be arsed with Oldham.

 

[AdamStag]

it’s higher now.

We went last season (not the one just finished) and were limited to 500 or so, we’re 2-0 down after 15 minutes and half of that had fucked off back to the pub Richard Cranium was one of them too

Its not amazing but much more tidier than the tent that was there before. We have wanted a new stadium for years but costs would be too much, so are looking at upgrading each side of the ground bit by bit. East side is next which is the side where the crap away terracing is.

 

[Pilot_Phonic]

I mean, we are in 2024 and yet we are still seeing stands being put up with fucking pillars in the way!!! Jeez.

Yeah this has been mentioned many times on our forum. Due to limited space behind that goal apparently if we built it without pillars we would have to lose a number of the seats
