foxinsocks Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 A piece in the Times says the us cities expected us to be relegated and it would be hard to sell tickets... so thay dont want us but do want man city, utd and the spuds. But imo this is good news coz we need a propper preseason... last year the icc was a waste of time
Gerard Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 Watch them change their minds when we win the Champions League.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 Good. Our fitness was awful at the start of the season because of it. Give me a pre season schedule of local and lower league teams any day of the week.
Voll Blau Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 Pile of cack that ruined our pre-season. Not really arsed if we can't flog tickets to fairweather Yanks. Plenty of decent American fans already.
Ashley Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 Good. Pointless tournament, get them in the alps like we used to. Hinckley(not a club anymore), Lincoln, Mansfield, Corby etc pre season games back.
foxes21 Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 Thank God. Our players looked so unfit early in the season because of the pre-season schedule.
Matt Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 I wouldn't want us to go anyway. At the time it was fun and exciting but in hindsight I wish we rejected the invitation last year (From a financial point of view I doubt the club would reject it though). It was a bad thing to do, awful prep, awful pre season and arguably a reason (one of many) why we've been so poor this year, certainly a factor. Hopefully if they'll struggle to sell tickets for minnows games such as ourselves it might put the yanks off the terrible 39th game idea.
StanSP Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 i'm absolutey devastated that we'll now get a proper pre-season and go back to what was working perfectly fine for us...
Corky Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 Think we should give some League Two sides a visit for next season like Lincoln, Mansfield, Notts County and Coventry.
Fox92 Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 Good. Get me to Mansfield and Kettering like the good old pre season days.
majaco Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 My memory may be short but I struggle to remember who were English champions before us and Chelsea. Why would teams from Manchester be in a tournament for champions?
brucey Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 If we had been comfortable mid-table they still wouldn't have wanted us. Good, because we don't want them either.

norwichfox Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 It was a bad distraction for us and a confidence destroyer, I just hope that we can get a proper "local" pre-season in UK or close European countries.
Ted Maul Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 Good. Mansfield, Kettering and Burton away followed by a home 'glamour' tie against a European side. Proper preparations.
foxinsocks Posted 11 March 2017 Author Posted 11 March 2017 I was surprised we hadn't already told them where to put it I do hope the spuds enjoy it
Izzy Posted 11 March 2017 Posted 11 March 2017 Hark at us lot How much we've changed in the last 12 months.... Easy in hindsight to say the ICC is a load of bollux, but I remember the uncontrollable excitement on here when we were invited to play in it. Now we're happy to bin in off and go back to local non league pre season friendlies. Makes me chuckle that's all...

It was a bit of a novelty for us after what we achieved last year. It was good from the financial point of view, but detrimental to the fitness of the squad early in the season. This year, a week in Austria or Sweden and some local games will set us up nicely.
