And yet, not a single person in this thread predicted us playing Hull it seems. I really don't see the issue, it isn't like we're going to get Real Madrid or Juventus down to the Keepmoat for a pre-season game, is it?
Wonder if there's a link there to possible incoming loanees?

I really don't see the issue, it isn't like we're going to get Real Madrid or Juventus down to the Keepmoat for a pre-season game, is it?Not on the thread, but I sent a text last week with the phrasing "and then home Friendlies against a south Yorkshire team and one of Middlesbrough/Newcastle/Hull/Forest".Cos that's who we play every year. Why not Leicester? Or Everton? Or Villa? Or even Leeds? Something a bit more varied. The only friendly I've not predicted so far was Halifax (I had Frickley instead). I'm not expecting Real Madrid or Barcelona, but somebody who we've not played a friendly against in the last 5 years would be nice.
And just confirmed, Oxford have an away game...... at Rangers!The Glasgow variety, too, not the Berwick or Cove!
The thing that irks me is this continuous merry-go-round of the same clubs year in year out. What link have we with Grimsby that ties us to visiting there nearly every pre-season. I wouldn't have thought we could learn much from a footballing perspective from playing them.I understand the community spirit in playing local amateur teams but there are more local teams in need than Rossington, Retford and Armthorpe every other year. Teams like Goole, Selby and North Ferriby surely are worthy of an occasional visit. I suppose Halifax is a little bit different but yet again I am thoroughly underwhelmed by the lack of imagination shown by the club.
