I imagine clubs like Reading and Palace don't want to risk paying fees to overseas clubs for friendlies which might then get restricted attendances.
So they go for a big local club instead.
The potential for aggro and the extra police costs do make it seem an odd choice but Thomas is mates with Parish and Gallen mates with Freedman, their DOF, so who knows, maybe it was agreed as a football match and other, off the field stuff not considered?
Is there any more potential for agro than when we played Millwall 10 years ago?

I was at the game but didnt see it.
Horrible game, Luzon practically forfeit it with the 2nd string team he put out.
😎
Southampton maybe, them and Reading being ex-clubs of Adkins? - Not to mention the Hummel links
Else it'll be a week and a half between the Palace game and the first game of the season
Probably Welling
31/7 15.00 is the Maidstone game.
