    Probably a local league two team away on the Saturday 22nd July

    No insider knowledge but guessing it will be Crawley.

    more likely a home game imo, hopefully another Championship side as decent opposition required

    I think they said on the OS that there will be two more matches. One at home and another away.

    The only two slots available for the first team matches are Saturday 22nd July and Tuesday 25th July.

    Sheffield United didnt overly test themselves over the Summer though...?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016%E2%80%9317_Sheffield_United_F.C._season#Pre-season_friendlies

    One Championship side | One League Two side, the rest all Conference North or lower...

    So same as us then if we slot in a game v the likes of Luton.
    Exactly so cant see the issue behind the opponents we're going to be facing

    Dont forget as well that Limerick and UCD are part of the League of Ireland Premier / First Division which is a summer league so by the time we play them they'll be halfway through their season and will have proper match fitness so despite the quality of the opposition being lower than what we'd face in League One, the matches will be harder because they'll be fitter.

    Always good to face higher league opposition pre-season to test ourselves. Town fans will be disappointed of course.

    I'm not so sure. Some of them might be chuffed to bits to be playing against Premiership stars of the future. :smile:

    We are away to Whitehawk on the 22/7, a development squad fixture.

    So, we've filled them with Stevenage away and Norwich at home on the Tuesday - so three league teams to play in pre season then..,
