Pre Season Games

Does anyone know the opposition and dates of any of our planned Pre Season games?

I haven't seen anything on the OS and im sure that they are announced by now.

*Awaits hilarious replies and numerous red x's  

Don't think they have been announced yet, but I could be wrong. Grantham's website has got us down as playing them away on July 9th. We've Trinity at home on 21st July in the Lincs Senior Cup. If we beat Trinity then we've got...Grantham at home in the semi on August 4th.

By the looks of that list, whether it's season ticket sales, pre-season friendlies or whatever..

The club is just stuck in a perpetual, "same as we've always done" mode..

What a boring and repetitive list of fixtures. Nothing for fans to get excited about, no big name club, no pre season tour or "god help the logistics" .. something abroad..

We must be the most "old-school" boring football club in the whole EFL..

Same old, same old, season after season, no creative thinking, nothing to get excited about. It's not like they're working from a winning formula when it comes to sparking some interest is it?



Edit

And I've just seen on Twitter.. GTFC and Clee Town getting together to promote the pre-season friendly. Jesus Christ.. is that what we've become?!!! It's enough to make you want to pull your hair out..

We could always invite Sheff Utd over. What could go wrong?

Lets hope the signings match that exciting list!!

Really not just about the pre-season games though, just one of a massive list of unchanged club rituals. Just sat on their arrses doing the same thing time and time again. It's sleepwalking madness..

Can anyone tell me anything that the club is doing differently with anything since we last fell from grace? It's either complacency, laziness or just a lack of ability. I feel it in my bones that we're going to fall into the abyss again. I don't want to feel this way at all, but I'm worried, really worried..

We've failed for nearly twenty years and I can't see a smidgeon of change throughout all that time.. it's pretty disturbing to be honest.. It's like we're goading the Conference to come and take us for good.

To be honest, I'm not that arsed about pre-season games. However, I do have concerns which I've aired. I think the transfer window will show us which way the wind is blowing. So, I'm going to reserve judgement until August. Rest assured I will not hold back then if my fears are realised. Put simply, we cannot face this season with the same outlook, a flimsy budget and a hope that there will be two teams worse than us.

Fair assessment Dazza.

Funny thing is I'll get hammered as being a doom monger but in reality it's the people propping up the poor status quo are the real negative individuals and do the future of the club a disservice. Always speak my mind positive or negative and always with the best interests of the club at heart and I've got a really bad feeling about this season and I'm never usually too far wrong. Plenty of indicators pointing to a struggle..

Just a bit of inventiveness in the pre-season schedule would have given me a bit of evidence of the senior operatives at GTFC trying to change, but it seems like they're always going to be set in their ways with everything and that can only point one way for the club..

Exciting set of pre season games ..NOT
