Pre season blades!

[Antarctic Monkey]

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know the weeks the blades usually jet off for their pre season jolly?

Trying to get organised with leave...

Usually in the summer at some point.

Second or third week in July normally, depending on season start date.

Expect third week if still in Championship as start is week later than recently. PL will be probably start a week later so maybe even last week in July if we’re promoted.

FL season starts 9th August, PL season starts 16th August

Usually start of July when transfer window officially opens (most signings in May and June are usually accompanied with a *to be completed July 1st) and players have come back from their holidays.

Players on international duty in tournaments (like with the Euros last summer) usually get an extra week off.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

To be safe just have all of July off work

What is this "work" you speak of?

You'll only find out 24 hours before we jet off where the team is going.

Can't be doing with our scum following the team abroad

I was being facetious not personal. For a few years it's felt like the club leave it incredibly late to announce any pre-season fixtures.

You need to be a Member and have 650 loyalty points to follow them abroad

You want them to dictate your summer holiday just to watch a few shite friendly matches?

A mate has heard a whisper it might be a trip to Greece and a friendly with Panathanaikos.
It’d be very fitting if this proves to be the case.

I'd be up for that. Just a shame it's one of those Olympic stadiums where you're miles from the pitch

Sorry but I cant agree. Personally, I was having some work issues during the summer of 2023 so in July of that year, I took some time away from the workplace to watch the Blades play a friendly in Estoril, Lisbon.

I took my car on the Plymouth to Santander ferry, drove down through Spain & Portugal, stayed four nights in lovely Estoril, watched the game with a couple of hundred Blades, then drove back up to Santander for an amazing couple of nights in a brilliant city. Ferry back to Portsmouth and home to Sheffield.

Madness? Possibly but it did me the world of good and was a fantastic experience. Shite? Not a chance, in fact, it was one of the best things I've ever done in my life.

It's only a short foray pal, not a major holiday.

Very predictable seeing other clubs announce trips like this around this time of year. While the relevant people within the club sit with their finger up their arse dreaming about chesterfield and Rotherham away.

New York mid July .. but which one ??
or Rep of SY ??

 

[The Fox]

Harrogate Town , Huddersfield and Hallam FC ...why would you leave Yarksha .

 

[blade too long]

bit risky of leeds booking fixture this if theyve still a chance of meeting Super Frank Lampards Coventry in the play offs, and theyll be better dampening the fire sale of players again

 

[Blade56]

Hope the new owners get their act together for a pre season tour with new players already in squad (and manager if they intend changing). We can’t afford the recent feck ups.
Players need bonding and match time and supporters will follow. Last good one we went to we did well that season, was great meeting fellow blades in good mood, good company and good surroundings.

 

[Bladesrunner]

Thought I’d heard early doors it was to be Girona this year, but maybe I dreamt that!

Don't worry you'll get confirmation of if you did, or not, 3 days beforehand.

Being the sad act I am....I've already made contact with a yt content creator called Antony Mortal who is one of the best fan culture content creators out there (I highly recommend folks check out his YT vlogs). He's an AEK Athens fan but has promised to give us loads of useful info if/when we travel to Athens for the game.
