I want us to get back to games with Inter Milan - great memories over the years.  This should be our regular pre-season fixture in my book.

I'd rather we just played away games at grounds I haven't been to with big away ends. If we are going for glamour friendlies would rather choose someone we haven't played, the biggest of which are Real Madrid and AC Milan, I think. Mind you, they are both Super League twats.

Away at Roma or Celtic (both of whom we've never played in a competitive fixture) wouldn't be bad either.

Not for me. Celtic would bring out the worst in some of our twattier fans. Would be endless "In-gur-lund" and "no surrender to the IRA" bollocks.

I've still got a few Scottish Grounds to do so would be good Killie, Dundee (been United) , Partick.  Rangers ground is a large Ewood Park and Celtic do my head (remind me of Liverpool)

Based on nothing but a guess I'm expecting next week around 30th ie: one month before the game as that sort of timescale was used for Walsall and Leeds tickets.

I got that when I booked to go to Amsterdam, it left me feeling unnerved.
