Pre-season friendlies
Good to see the club have dropped the prices for these games to a sensible level.
The opposition are fairly uninspiring as a supporter, so that perhaps explains the price reduction.
I might actually go to the games now, whereas previously I was thinking of missing them out.
Although the pre-season home games are good social events, seeing friends not seen for a while, I tend to like the away ones even more.

I haven't been to a home pre-season friendly for years, and doubt I will this time either. Will go to the Oxford City game - hopefully it won't be washed out this year - but apart from that I won't bother.
Also missing the first game of the season due to holiday dictated by the school break. Bloody kids.

I'll miss a couple of early league games as well, due to holidays - bloody local education authorities!"SteMerritt" wrote:I haven't been to a home pre-season friendly for years, and doubt I will this time either.

You know the Oxford City game will involve significant quantities of rain, it always does. Its the law.
Re:
According to the Kidlington website, it's actually an Oxford United XI (with a 2.00 kick off). Mind you, with our current squad size I think we'll struggle to find eleven players who won't be needed at Didcot."A-Ro" wrote:Are we really playing Didcot and Kidlington on the same day?"boris" wrote:Full list here.

Friendlies serve their purpose for player match fitness but are a complete non-event for the supporter. In my view."GodalmingYellow" wrote:Good to see the club have dropped the prices for these games to a sensible level.

Friendlies are important in so much as they make the close season seem a little shorter and they do give us impatiant ones a chance to see new signings before the real season starts. I am quite looking forward to seeing Twiggy, Trainer, Jeannin and Ledgister at Didcot but am not too bothered that my holiday will prevent me from seeing all the others bar Birmingham.
