I know we can’t wait for the season to finish, but just trying to plan stuff for the summer, any news on when they’ll be announced?

    Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Luton on the list, maybe even Southampton if Jones made any contacts in the short time he was there.

    Luton were planned for last summer so that's a good shout.

    Millwall away  hopefully so I can foolishly believe this will be the year once again and throw yet more money down the drain on us going up .

    It'll be interesting if Dartford will still get a first team friendly, after their relegation.

    Personally I would avoid playing local non league clubs,as at Welling last year,you will always get some tosser trying to make his ,mark on a superior player so not worth the risk.

    Think they will as part of the agreement for our academy games sometimes being played there

    Wouldn’t surprise me if they went to Jamaica 🇯🇲 for a game or two.

    Part of the tie up is that Mount Pleasant Academy play a charity pre season game v Charlton at The Valley each year so that is definitely happening I guess.

    I think it's important for the team to get used to playing with a weaker first 11, to help prepare us for the 2024/25 injury crisis.

    If you look at NJ’s pre-seasons at his previous clubs, there is a bit of a theme which builds around a football camp in Slovenia. A nice town is Maribor but it is a pain in the a*se to get to..

    They are going to Slovenia. Overheard a player say so.

    Maribor is twinned with the royal borough of Greenwich.

    @cafctom or @The_Organiser maybe?

    Haven’t had the pleasure of doing Slovenia yet. Though I did do the Marbella trip last year which was good fun. 

    Only thing to look out for this year is whether any of the friendlies will clash with the Euros. I imagine the first couple probably will.

    Maribor IS twinned with RBG

    I was in Slovenia twice in the past few years - beautiful beautiful place and people. That would be an amazing pre-season tour

    No we are going to rescue him from hungary in an A-Team style fashion - Jones as Hannibal, Coventry as Face, Isted as Murdoch and Aneke as BA.

    From the new pitch thread it sounds like August 3rd will be on the only pre-season match at The Valley

    Work begins on the pitch in May to ensure everything is in place for the men’s first-team’s final pre-season friendly on Saturday, August 3rd.

    Favourite place I've been - completely agree with your comments.

    Would be a class trip.

    We normally only play one at the Valley

    Wouldn't be surprised if it was Luton at home , that would tally up with the cancelled friendly from last summer and the NJ link. Rest of it I guess will be a mix of sides abroad and the usual non League sides.

    I’d ask you for tonight’s Euro numbers, but you’ve got that last one wrong even when the club have said the date already 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂

    Send the kids to Welling - don’t want any first teamers injured in needless tackles by part time postman again. 

    We can’t afford to start a new season without Leaburn / Alfie,

    Can I be the first to say we deserved more than a draw?

    Same for Dartford if that gets arranged again.
