cambridgeshire canary 7,797 Posted May 2, 2021 Which teams would you like to see us play? I'm going to assume that due to Covid they will all be UK based teams. I would not mind seeing us play Spurs/Peterborough/Kings Lynn- All rather local and easy to get too, and hopefully by then we can travel to matches. Now wouldnt that be nice?

Move Klose 303 Posted May 2, 2021 Be amazed if we don't play MK Dons and Kings Lynn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 5,301 Posted May 2, 2021 I guess Wes's presence might allow some of us to forgive the Cambridge butchers and give them a game too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 6,260 Posted May 2, 2021 We went to Germany last summer so I expect us to go again this summer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Stiepermann 1,261 Posted May 2, 2021 No team who wants to kick us off the park for our warm up games is the main concern for me so only footballing sides in the early warm up games. Kings Lynn Mk Dons Coventry Paderborn (Obligatory by this point) Bielefeld Shalke One of the play off losers Fulham Nice ramp up there, all Uk based except for when we go away on pre season tour and no dirty teams who will want to cause us injuries.

TheGunnShow 7,377 Posted May 2, 2021 If there's no lockdown in Germany I'd go as far as to suggest they'll probably stay at the same hotel again, namely the Klosterpforte in Harsewinkel. Close to where Farke grew up, known for being a spot where teams spend time in training, and they know the place inside out. Think Kings Lynn and MK Dons will be early ones, Paderborn and possibly Dortmund. Shouldn't be that hard for Farke to pull out a pre-season friendly with his old employers on relatively local turf for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything is closed and its take away coffee's only. You can only buy beers in supermarkets and drink them in a park but you must be home by 10pm as there's a lockdown. Hopefully it'll improve soon but considering they were dealing with the PanDammit pretty well a few months back, they're proper ballsing it up of late, so harsh measures are in place.

That was precisely why I said "if". I know full well it's still a serious lockdown over there. Friends are telling me it'll probably be June at the earliest when things ease. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

astro 423 Posted May 3, 2021 We had Atalanta come to Carrow Road the last time we went up, so If travel is back underway by then, I would expect a decent European team as a finale to preseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 2,016 Posted May 3, 2021 Surely we need to be playing teams that have the physicality of those in the Premier League. That was where we often took a beating last time, players who weren’t necessarily better footballers but who bullied us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 957 Posted May 3, 2021 As a matter of correct grammar, it is not up to the people in charge of the teams we face during pre-season (note hyphen) to make the decision as to whether or not we would play them, the choice would ours. I think what you actually mean is that "if you were in charge of selecting or inviting the teams that we might like to play in pre-season then which teams would you choose for us to play" But coming from an academic place like Cambridge you probably wouldn't understand that.
