Pre-season friendlies 2026-27

[Clyde1998]

Usually about this time we start getting our pre-season plans announced, with the first match being a month before the start of the season.

Anyone heard anything about them?

Only listened to the BBCRB interview with Couhig where he said there would be some sort of interesting developments with regards to pre-season friendlies.

Tour of Louisiana!

In all seriousness, it suggests we're probably going to be playing sides quite different than usual. Perhaps at least one European team?

Either that or he just means we're playing Chelsea at home or something.

[Sutekh]

Bound to be Swansea again….

[blythspartan]

It’s bound to be Bayern at the SCL

The return of Olise, and another payday for the club.

[katweslowski]

It'll be something shit like Hull away or like you say, Swansea.

[Brogue]

Probably Wycombe and Wigan

Probably think we've got a match against Southampton but end up playing Middlesborough

That made me laugh ...

[Hound]

Imagine anyone Soton would ask to go and spend a few hours spying on us would prob refuse to go and watch it

[Clyde1998]

Southampton are a side we haven't played in a friendly for ages, despite being a fairly obvious one (relatively local; usually in a different division to us).

Might not be the best look to play them this season though!

Decent friendly tbh. Does seem a bit late for that to be our first one though.

[tidus_mi2]

Might give it a go since I'm in Fleet, just a quick train away.

[RFCMod]

Aldershot away would be fun

Just like the last time
