Thought I’d kick off a pre season thread for the games.

Hoping for 6 games apparently. “Bristol Rovers, Swansea, Tiverton, Truro, Torquay and we have an in-house game planned and we are working on one last fixture.”

So we could be playing at a Premier League ground? It seems other League clubs are only playing teams which have testing regimes, which rules out non league. Clearly we are a bit more relaxed

Friendlies are not for the fans, Ali. They're for the management and players. No fans anyway 😌

Sounds like the pressure on not allowing the season to run late into May / June is due to Wembley being used for the Euros. Surely it's preferable to move the playoff finals for L1 and L2, enabling a more sensible time frame to complete the season, without having too many mid week games.

Sounds like common sense to me......not sure the EFL do common sense!!

I wonder if the friendlies will be covered in any way? Live streaming would be excellent.

Common sense in general passed away long ago.

I’m cruising for a woosh....But it’s bad enough watching pre season friendly’s in the flesh 😁

The annual trips to Weymouth,Dorchester & Taunton were only bearable because you could have a ale whilst watching from the side 😎

I think I’d watch the players going for a dump if it was televised #truefan #bringbackfootball
