Friendlies 2014 - last updated 04 July 2014The friendlies programme for 2014 is now complete. Any further information will be added to this story and the date in the title will be changed every time it is updated, so please keep checking back.

Message from the Manager
Manager, Karl Marginson, would like to give supporters a bit more info about our pre-season friendlies. He said:
"We’ve got the usual total of ten games. That sounds a lot, but we need that many to assess all the players. Unlike previous years, none of these will be ’FCXI’ games, we’ll be involving all the squad and trialists where we need to. We’re starting a week later than usual, so we have a couple of weeks of intense training, then the first friendly will be a warm up game. After that we’ve got 4 or 5 games in quick succession, to give all squad members and triallists some game time, so we can assess them properly. The second half of the friendlies programme has some tough games and longer trips to help squad bonding. That will test the players fully, so the coaches and I can finalise the squad for the season. The overall aim is to give all the players enough time on the pitch, so everyone is match fit to start the league season."


For info, these are our Friendlies Criteria.

All games are AWAY from home. Further match details will be published nearer the time.
