Yes, its all good fun trouncing lower league sides, a friendly or 2 against stronger opposition could surely have been arranged? Preston have played ipswich and aberdeen which will have been a better run out and more competitive than what weve arranged. if that gives them a little extra 1% on day one then it would be worth it? Maybe i just miss the days of the mallorca and ajax friendlies of years gone by… might get a few quid in the bank too with a decent crowd at ag!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one that doesn’t maybe add up is Dickie as you feel he has to be starting against Preston. That’s how I read it - unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who says that playing better opposition during friendlies improves teams during the season? No one has, if this was proven to be the case we would be doing that. As for not playing at Ashton Gate.. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/new-pitch-for-ashton-gate/ These games are ultimately for fitness, working on link up play, developing relationships that's all. We don't need to play Ajax to do that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always quite used to enjoy one final friendly in front of the home fans. Need to pick the right one of course, Real Mallorca thumped us 6-2, Ajax 4-0 but they were showcase. I look at some other clubs, and I see some nice friendlies not too high calibre. Wolves in 2009, Blackpool 2010 and Twente 2017 all good ones- Bournemouth 2018 too.
