Tetteys Jig 851 Posted June 3, 2015 Any news on when this will start and who we''ll be playing? I wonder if Alex Neil is a "Tough tour round Scotland" type of guy or a "team building in LA" type of guy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted June 3, 2015 Very few managers are a ''team building in LA'' guy - those guys are much more based in the marketing department.I would imagine any tours of America etc would have been announced by now due to the logistical issues. One of the Brentford directors said they were likely to play Norwich at Carrow Road on August 1st so that''s a date for the diary.Hopefully Norwich can rearrange a game against the Italians they beat 13-0 last summer. If they even know who they were... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 851 Posted June 3, 2015 Neither did they! We do need another Braintree type game for Ricky to remember where the net is though. Perhaps we could make out like Braintree are a decent league side as well to any foreign scouts that may be keeping an eye? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumbleweed 106 Posted June 3, 2015 I would imagine that it is very likely we will play Hamilton and thus a wee Scottish tour is probable, Celtic would be good. If Brentford are on the agenda maybe a couple of English games too. But it seems unlikely there will be anything more exotic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted June 3, 2015 The season starts in 9 weeks from Saturday - a very short pre-season period considering some players are off on international duty for another couple of weeks.August 1st would be the last pre-season friendly for both Norwich and Brentford as the Premier League and Football League kick off on the same day this year. Norwich normally try and get a bigger club for the last game so will be interesting to see if that does happen.Wouldn''t be surprised if the team go off to Europe somewhere, these things are often organised a long time in advance and Ricky Martin is probably in charge of this kind of thing in his role as Technical Director.Team build shouldn''t be a massive priority this summer as I can''t see a huge amount of new players coming in. But getting away for a week or two is usually preferred by the clubs to keep players focused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,471 Posted June 3, 2015 Nice tour of Prague, playing Dukla, Slavia & Sparta would be fantastic.......love Prague.Likely to be Scotland isn''t it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted June 3, 2015 Its an interesting point that we have essentially two or three weeks less than the other promoted sides to prepare for the new season.Not ideal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 108 Posted June 3, 2015 would think a 3 game visit to Scotland is favourite (I would be happy if it was Hamilton, Hearts and Celtic) then back for Barcelona at Carrow Rd, or a nice European side at least to finish, but not long so hope we hear something soon.

Matt Juler 208 Posted June 3, 2015 Whilst Brentford wouldn''t be as popular for the fans as a "nice European side", for the team I''m sure it would be a much better test the week before the start of the season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 851 Posted June 3, 2015 I thought Hamilton had said the friendly is unlikely due to logistical reasons with it being short notice?I''d have thought that like the transfer deals, we''ll have planned some of the schedule before the playoffs anyway, but maybe had a couple of plans ready to push the big red button on come the end of the playoffs?

KiwiScot 1,684 Posted June 3, 2015 I''d say Aberdeen, Celtic, Hibs/Hearts would be alright warm up games, but I reckon its not going to be a Scottish pre-season as I think we will would want to play more local teams and a short trip abroad with a better climate. So random though, France. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted June 3, 2015 Last 4 pre seasons have seen European opposition at Carrow Road, i would be surprised if there was not at least one overseas side this year and possibly a Scottish one too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 851 Posted June 8, 2015 Fairly low key preseason there so far. I presume the training camp will be abroad somewhere and will be the two weeks before the first friendly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted June 8, 2015 Over recent seasons i have gone to quite a few of the home friendlies which have been quite entertaining and a chance to see different sides eg Celtic, Ajax etc etc. west ham and Brentford do not seem to have the same pull so i will probably give it a miss this year. Of course the real deal begins when the season proper starts but a shame not to have a tastiet tie or even the likes of cambridge at home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
