Lille is a couple of hours drive from Leuven, I wonder when the friendly game against OH Leuven will be announced...

Sven Sweden?

Everton in Thailand before our first season back in the PL? Think we won 1-0. Gary Taylor Fletcher played. He lost half his body weight because of the heat.

Doubt it because their season kicks off on the same date of the friendly

We’ve played them lots of friendlies since 1994. Fairly sure O’Neill’s taken a team to Meadow Lane midweek 

Summer '97. Parker had a penalty saved after telling the keeper which way he was putting it.

Anyone see the connection with the Lille preseason?

 

[MC Prussian]

Still plenty of room in mid-July or after the 21st for a training camp outside of the UK.

Just wish the club would be a bit more forthcoming with the info.

Because I'd like to know how close I can be to the scenery.

How many tickets do you think we'll get for this ? 

Loads, their ground is massive and we won't be a particularly big draw for them Id imigine.

 

The away end is similar to Sunderland in that it is up high but on a corner not behind a goal.

That's good news then, I reckon we could take a few. You reckon be buy from the club or just pay on the gate ?

Never know with ticketing and our lot. Wouldn't put it past them running out their 'oh its UEFA policy' lies on the day passport pick up ticket points.

Wouldn't suprised me, I can see Lille selling on the gate whatever City stance is. Can't see them turning people away at a friendly. Probably won't even ask for any tickets knowing how shite the ticket office is.

[Bert]

So it's a 5pm kick off then.

I was there  I remember Izzet and some young lad trying to hit the crossbar from the halfway line at half time. Stuart Wilson maybe?!

 

Also remember a Grantham pre-season match. Think it was Savages debut!

[SemperEadem]

Are the u23's playing any games?

 

They usually play at pretty interesting spots like Belper and Ilkeston.

I noticed Southampton and Liverpool have already had games, but we haven’t got any for a few weeks yet and only three scheduled, something doesn’t seem right here

It's only been one game for Southampton FFS and Liverpool are starting their pre-season matches today.

There's probably going to be additional games for us during the pre-season camp abroad, potentially very soon, as there's a ten-day period between now and the Notts County game.

[davieG]

The City squad, missing the players on international duty since June 2, have had a tough first week at Belvoir Drive but will head to a training camp at Évian-les-Bains in France this weekend as they continue to get into shape ahead of the big kick-off.

[Richard]

Last year we seemed to prefer intra-squad behind closed doors friendlies, would imagine we're planning more of the same. 

[MC Prussian]

Evian-les-Bains, bit off my neck of the woods, but doable by train.

[filthyfox]

Shame we still don't have Drinkwater going to evian!

[lgfualol]

Surely they will add a couple more. I imagine they will be fit, but maybe not match-sharp?? 3 games doesnt seem enough to either try a new style, and give everyone equal game time.

[Ian Nacho]

I expect Burton or something away in between Notts County and Valencia. 

[davieG]

They'll probably play some local Austrian teams

[LCFC FOX]

Only three pre season games is very bizarre
