Anyone know how we've drastically improved our pre-season games? Was it the FA Cup run?

Gone from Shrewsbury, MK Dons & Exeter to Werder Bremen, Getafe & Everton

Not doubting you as you've been dead on with the pre season fair play, but the darmstadt friendly is a bit weird isnt it if we have 2 home ones and a trip to Valencia?

valencia will be used as our summer camp. the friendly with getafe will be likely in the valencia area. unsure if it will be behind closed doors

Ok that makes sense.

Still find Darmstadt weird though. Why go all the way to Germany after a week in Valencia, only to come back pretty rapidly to play 2 home pre season games to round it all off

Assuming we will have the usual Leamington first friendly aswell thats surely our programme filled?

Cant get my head round the Darmstadt fixture at all now tbh

Everton would sell the entire South Stand.

Will be interesting to see if we give it to them or use it as a trial for people sat there next season.

The club may as well make some money off 5000 Everton fans. I doubt the demand will be that high in the home ends.

I think the opposite, we should have a really good turnout for this, summer, good weather, playing a premier team at home for the first time in a long time, first look at all our new players for a lot of people

Yeah but there would still be enough room for 5000 from Everton. Maybe 15-20k in the home ends.

I can't stand Everton so i hope we just give them the new away allocation. Always loads of trouble when we used to play them at Goodison so don't want 5K scousers roaming about.

I actually think this game will attract a bigger home crowd than the WB game even with that being the Saturday.

No different really than going and playing a game in Exeter or somewhere like that. Not going to take any more out of the players energy wise and I’m sure they’ll be much more excited to go over there than play a league 2 side here

Surely Leamington as the final game so we can give someone a thumping before the first game of the season?

They'll pop to the Wheatsheaf pre-match? Hot place to be right now with the publicity, no doubt!

Maybe the clientele of Binley Mega Chppy should go head-to-head with the clientele of the Wheatsheaf, winner is crowned the "undue publicity champions of the world"?

Another indicator of the progress we’ve made over the last few years, we do try to play the game the right way and that will be widely recognised, for some clubs that are maybe ahead of us in stature/league position I’m sure we would be looked on as a stiff test & good preparation for their own season ahead.

It’s all very encouraging.

Any ideas on dates for the game, we were looking at Valencia as a quick weekend away at the start of July.

I've got a lot of time and respect for everton and its fan base..... especially having to put up with snivelling self indulgent media-darling red-shite constantly gloating over the road.

Shame the friendly ain't at Goodison tho... one last trip to the grand old ladys away end would be great. Fingers crossed for the cup draws.

Big old football club is Everton to be fair and they'd have probably been Champions of Europe in the 80s had it not been for the English Team Ban

But I think the mess they find themselves in is their own doing - They have spent millions on complete and utter shite and it has come back to bite them on the arse

Mrs CK68 very excited about this… she’s been waiting years for us to play again and is strutting around the house giving it the biggun since this was announced. Shes been onto all her season ticket mates so she can be in the Everton end.

I’m praying for a Simms hat trick and a week of Jim Bowen ‘ look what you could have won’ banter going on.
