Can't be real, can it?

Apart from Bochum these are just the joke fixtures that everybody posts every season.

The tour of Brazil will have to wait until next year I guess.

Seriously this is an improvement on previous years. Can't remember the last time we played a relatively big club at their home stadium as part of pre-season (unless you count Estoril)

Bor-ring!

 

[Brian Deane]

So no trip to Portugal to get into shape ffs.
Another season of unfit, lethargic kebab munching, Peroni necking lightweights

Personally, I would count Estoril. Benfica and Sporting Lisbon go there in the league. There's a bit of a case for Casa Pia - although the stadium we played at is mainly used for friendlies now.

And Stade de Reims would have been the last "big one" before that.

Leave the supporters out of this

I never mentioned Kidney punching wheelchair users

 

[St Albans Blade]

They may as well be played behind closed doors.

One game against superior opposition does not a pre-season maketh!

Rinse and repeat friendly fixtures.. I’m not asking for a 90 minute session against the world eleven, but I am asking for a bit more than fucking Chesterfield and Halifax Town. Reyt preparation.

Disappointing and predictable fixtures. Apart from the Bochum fixture, there’s nothing to either stretch the players or excite the fans. I suppose I don’t really care too much about friendlies as long as the players are fully ready for the season by the opening day. Previous experience of these fixtures suggest that won’t be the case.
Have the club explained the lack of home fixtures? I presume the pitch is being worked on or something similar?

Have you any idea how long it takes to cut the grass with a pair of Toe nail scissors ?

Typical penny pinching Blades!!!
Why couldn't we buy TWO pairs and then we could cut it from each end and meet in the middle in half the time!

I know Sam Tickle has been mentioned but even I don't think his arms would reach that far

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Isn't Bochum in Gleadless just off the ring road? I'm sure I've seen signs for it.

Must be on a SYPTE bus route or we won't be playing them.

 

[Silas]

I am a bit disappointed with this list of fixtures.

I got more excited when I realised I had nail fungus.
