Spain or Portugal? MrFrost will surely know of someone that'll have dificulty getting tickets for those games
how about ireland??? in our history we have picked up some really good irish players with the irish manager we had so maybe we could spot a bargain or two?? just like reading did with kevin doyle. 70,000 or whatever they paid for him.

It's only right and proper that we should maintain links with the local lower league sides, and it's exciting for them having the opportunity to play against quality Championship opposition. Maybe we could invite Leeds United or Sheffield Wednesday for a game?

It would be handy though, not to have to do all that traveling. Useful too, it would give you a good indication of how wide the gulf in class is between League 1 and the Championship.And after all the best way to improve is to get some practice in against a higher standard opponent.
