The problem this year is that Football League clubs kick off 2 weeks before us on August 3rd, so that cuts our options down especially for later friendlies

As i can see us doing what we did at start of this season and going to somewhere like germany or austria to play 1 or to games just before the season. Also, i suppose championship teams and league 1 and 2 would be up for playing games when there season has started. Dependant on how much prem teams are prepared to pay or how much of the gate receipts they would be able to keep. |

League Cup round 1 is on the midweek after 3rd August so I don't think there is any chance of a friendly against an English league side after the last Sat in July. BM |

Very odd we'd play both of those games on the same day. |

Interesting....just "wiki'ed" Genoa and seems they were originally set up as an English ex-pats sports club. Cricket and Athletics were their major sports, Football 3rd!
Still, they've won Italian Title 9 times, damn good going for a club who didn't put football at the top of their agenda!
Hope they can rub-off a bit of their luck on us.
We've never won 9 of anything!

The friendlies for the U-21's and U-18's has been put up. www.stokecityfc.com/news/article/academy-pre-season-888079.aspxSo the 'Castle Town friendly is on the 10th, which is wank. And the Macc game is for the U-21's, again that is wank. I wonder what Norwegian side the U-18's are playing? It's an odd way of putting it.  |

I was going to go Macc and 'Castle Town but I can't be arsed to go to Macclesfield to watch the U-21's. Depending on the times I still might go 'Castle. Seems a stupid way of doing it though. Wrexham is still a first team game I think Jamo. |

Looks like Wrexham on the 4th is a first team game, after the original fixture on the 3rd being an u-18 game.
Good-o. Nice little drive to Wrexham.
