As much as I am to the dropping of more negative posts.

Well, my squad always needed 6 on FM2006  (Haven't really played any of the later games as much as that one, so...)

Strange we haven't got any local friendlies arranged, usually we're booked to play burton, Mansfield, notts county, walsall or stoke.

[rachhere]

I am sure we have this conversation every year about how late the announcement is for friendlies!

Plenty of bounce games occur which we never see

There’s gonna be 6 friendlies. I think they’re going on a camp first week in July. 
 

Leuven on the 16th. One is supposedly Derby rumoured to be July 24. A game with two split teams like last season. We’ll face a European team July 27th at home.

If we're playing derby it needs to be at our place

It'll be awkward when the bailiffs repossess their midfield at halftime.

Cheers. 
 

Bayern Munich at home I’ve heard.

We aren’t alone with the lack of games. Wolves have none arranged as their pre season tour fell through

A bit strange really… something else going on at the stadium maybe?

[RowlattsFox]

Preston away. Decent.

 

Also, unless it's the split squad I guess the Derby game won't happen.

Yeah I guess not. I think it was Ashley that said it was planned. 

[Dan]

That'll be police recommendation. Only one I was bothered about as well. Arseholes.

Looks like a few things or potential events on in Nottingham that weekend. Festival on at Racecourse, potential T20 game at Trent Bridge (plus England v India on the Sunday)

[Dan]

Didn't even realise it was at Seagrave

Yeah, it's probably because of the trouble at the FA Cup match. It's a shame for Notts, too, since they lose the gate. I hope they will at least show it online.

[AjcW]

Assume the Preston game is our way of thanking/apologising for Iversen. Should generate a decent gate for them.

[AjcW]

Probably most likely behind closed doors because it'll be very very early in pre season and it'll be unlikely much of a watch for any spectators

Reoccurring theme of us playing pre-season friendlies at clubs whom have taken our players on loan.

The lack of pre season friendlies and the lack of movement in or out on the transfer front makes me think that either King Power are struggling on the finance front and/or there is conversation about Rodgers' future. Just a feeling.

You'll be pleased to hear Brendan has had a look down the sofa and managed to cobble some change together for a bus trip to lancashire
