Pre Season Friendly thread

[skipper]

The Swindon game is going to be one of the most exciting this year. Not because we have a dull year in front of us, but because Swindon are the old enemy, and we haven't played them since another pre-season friendly 5 years ago (it's about that) So I am dead excited about this. Should be a perfect little build up to the season, which pub is the designated pre game watering hole?

Is there anything more dull or pointless to the football fan than pre-season friendlies?

Next season?

[who are ya?]

Well I was going to go and take the family as I only live aroud the corner (literally).

However, £30 to watch a youth game! I think not.

Final pre-season game:

Saturday 30th July - Swindon Town (A)

Well done Dawn, you were quite right to miss the word 'friendly' from your post.



Ally got it right with the enclosed pic. 'Friendly, my a*se!'

Does anyone know if Swindon Away is going to be tickets on the day? I can't find any ticketing information on either the Reading or Swindon sites.

Very much a reserves side, but we were expecting that.

Would be interesting to go just to say see some of the new graduates in action.

Our play-off run looks like it cost us a decent last pre-season game at the Madstad this year due to time constraints, so Swindon away looks the stand out fixture - not quite the Real Madrid tie our new found friends at Leicester have somehow managed to organize...Roll on Millwall...
