Fulham are the other team we will play BCD , before we travel to Portugal .

So not much chance of seeing the team before leeds away then.

The team against the welsh league teams will not be the team to face leeds it will be a bunch of kids

So not much chance of seeing the team before leeds away then.

A fair amount of games to get the fitness sorted. That’s the main point I guess.

Yes it does make for a big start game
but i thought if fans get a chance to see something like an exiting looking team during friendlies season ticket sales could go up. But we will have to wait and see
it could not be any worse than last season surely.

At least with Fulham and two Portuguese sides to play there is much more quality and challenge than last season. Pre-season last year was very tin-pot.

Agree.

Went to Cheltenham last summer and, although there was a good atmosphere amongst City fans (it was a boiling hot day and plenty being drunk), it was probably our biggest test in terms of pre-season games.

The games we have this summer gives us much better tests.

People seemed to think the games against the Welsh teams were all we were going to have, was always likely that more would be added.

The schedule we have looks like a good pre-season plan to me.
