Usually the showpiece friendly is the home one immediately before the season starts.

That’ll be “New Parks” then

Looool

[Collymore]

Is the Burton match that cup we lost on a penalty shootout last time? 

 

Can't remember it's name but could be our first silverware of the season before the paint trophy.

Possibly but I had in my head a longer name possibly Italian.

World Cup semi final evening that. Could potentially be no one there if England finish second in the group and get through to the semi's

Australia vs Ghana SF. We'll be without Souttar and Fatawau.

 

Draw would be a good result!

Oh we have enough of them "I don't care about England I don't" types who will be willing to show everyone just how much they don't by travelling there first class on Ausden Clark's finest.

At least someone bothered to check the BBC Sport league pages this time.

Not sure if it's been mentioned already (or how accurate it is), but we've been listed as playing Augsburg on 3rd August on the Bundesliga site.

Must have changed. 
 

Now says 

 

Return to training: TBC

Training camps/tour: TBC

Friendly matches: TBC

First fixture: DFB Cup first round vs. Energie Cottbus (21-24 August)

[teblin]

Is there anything anywhere that says when they actually return for training? 

 

1st Friendly 2 weeks tomorrow, I'd assume training will start this coming Monday or at least Wednesday at the start of July.

[Stuntman_Mike]

Hope we get a good friendly away and abroad that 1st August weekend.

Im sure I read from the 29th somewhere in one of the articles linked to RM appointment. A few  of the league 1 teams around here returned this past Wednesday/are returning today. I cant imagine we will be much later.

As someone from Burton originally, and who has a soft spot for Burton Albion and used to watch them a fair bit, I say this with the upmost respect…..

 

The fact that we’re in the same league as Burton Albion is a fvcking abomination.

Implying that Ausden Clark Coach 1 won't be there with their Thank You Mr Chairman scarves.

I was sure that I read they were due to start training on Monday 29th July but now I can't find it.

[Chelmofox]

Looking forward to the bleep test, to pretend that they might actually be fit.

Their food was really good about a decade ago. I'm partial to faggots. I love a good faggot.

Tbf they were only a league below us in 2018. 

 

Although two different worlds still.

I went there in about 1998 and there was a sign up saying “we now serve faggots”. Very progressive club.
