Have any dates for pre-season WAFC friendlies been announced yet?
No, not yet, as final arrangments still being made. There should be fewer friendlies, but of a better quality this year.
According to their respective websites -
Congleton Town 19th July Away
Winsford Utd 26th July Away
Did someone say better quality. Congleton and Winsford. With the greatest respect??? Thought we might be avin a visit from the Alex, Nantwich or Macclesfield or even Vics? I could give HR a ring to see if he will bring a team down! SBL
I would wait until the list is announced before saying anything, you need a balance when playing friendlies, away games are always against lower oppostion and home against higher, its no good playing 6 top teams and getting hammered you learn nothing you need a blend. I have heard we have home games against at least one premier league outfit possible youth/reserves and the reason for the delay is another is waiting to be confirmed. so lets just wait and see.
I agree TOF we usually start of with light opposition and build up, dont forget these games are sandwiched into a heavy preseason fitness programme so it all needs to be taken in context and planned, the intial two matches look ok to me eg local and against teams that are of interest, and hopefully better to follow for our home games.
