Pre-Season 2014

They're announcing these friendlies thick and fast. We're playing Mansfield on Thursday July 17th. Another one I've not been to.

I have been - it isn't great. Close to the station mind. Not sure if that is the case for the new Chesterfield ground. Saltergate was 15-20 minute walk

Chesterfield looks about half an hour's stroll from the station. I saw us play a reserve game at Mansfield in about 1995. Daley Thompson (yes, that one) got sent off.

Yes it's close to the station but it's a midweek game and the last train to Nottingham leaves (or did in 2011 anyway) before the game finishes!
Went there with Tamuff when Mansfield were non-league, thought the ground ws okay, three new stands and a condemned one with a hole in the roof where I'm sure the defenders were aiming for with every clearance.

I was at Field Mill the day we relegated Cov. Stags were playing Scunny. It was a 1-0 bore fest. And it was cold in the ground on a roasting hot day in May.

Last train to Notts is 21:48. However not sure if there is a train to Brum from Notts after that.

There is still a lot of ill feeling 30 years later towards Notts clubs from those slightly further north.

[dcdavecollett]

You bet there is!!

I wonder which 'superclub' we will play in the almost, now traditional, Villa Park, Saturday before the season starts friendly?

Season starts the 23rd so the home friendly may be on the 16th but if Blues have a home game on that day who knows

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

It's like the good old days with Mansfield and Chesterfield away.
Arrange friendlies at Halifax/ Rochdale with a friday night game at Tranmere thrown in.

[silhillvilla]

Luton away again works for me

According to my inside knowledge, the glamour friendly will be Monaco.

My inside knowledge is gained from looking up "Champions League 2014-15" on Wikipedia and randomly pointing at a section of the laptop screen with my eyes closed.
