They’re only for fitness/the players getting to know each other/experimentation etc but we have the same preseason every year don’t we?

That's it in a nutshell.  Really difficult to get 'decent' opposition to come here as they're all touring somewhere.  The downturn in the quality of our pre-season games also ties in with our decline to and stagnation in the fourth/fifth tier.  Not really likely to be deemed a valuable friendly for Prem/Championship sides.

We went to Spain and played two games last year to be fair.

That's a point. When does our tour of the Far East begin? There's a whole new market for stripey shirts to be opened up over there.
