2022-23 Pre-Season Friendlies: confirmed fixtures / dates

Collymore link I suspect. He still speaks to Mark Bright I believe, who is an ambassador and advisor there. So maybe arranged through those channels.
Ahhhhh ok. Of course! Cheers. It's a good test for us if they don't play the U23's as mentioned above.
 
Anyone planning to go to this?

I'm definitely going to Kettering - their groundshare at Latimer Park is a new ground for me, having also been to Rockingham Road when they played there - and probably Kings Langley as well. KL are a friendly club with a nice little bar area (when I went you could sit on the benches outside it and watch the game) and a very enthusiastic PA chap who played all the pre-match music as if he were a DJ in a nightclub.
 
its great playing Kettering and KL, good public relations and nice for the lads first up to get some playing time ,Also like the idea of the Palace friendly too ,think the lads will be looking forward to that as much as SVC .
 

Our first confirmed games of pre-season ahead of the new 2022/23 campaign can be announced.

Kevin Maher’s side will begin their preparations with a friendly fixture against Kings Langley on Saturday, July 9. The game will take place at Gaywood Park, kick off 3pm.
