Would make sense that they’ve been taking their time in announcing anything if they’ve been putting together a ‘tournament’, rather than just arranging individual matches.

We (Newcasttle) will be holding a pre season mini tournament at St James park in August 

 

4 teams - Sponsor money ? 

 

Finally we can get revenge on Sporting Lisbon for beating us in the NewcastleGateshead Cup in 2004.

Cant see any of the 3 teams mentioned bringing as many as rangers did that weekend!

6th? First friendly is 15th. I thought all non international players would be back tomorrow 


We are still closer to the final day of last season than the start of this one. There’s no reason to rush everyone back after a very long season.

Well it is if we have friendlies arranged! Going into them under prepared is asking for trouble

We're a professional outfit now, the players will have had fitness and diet plans for over the summer months and will have kept themselves topped up whilst also having a bit of a rest.

 

The way some people go on you'd think they'd all headed off on a five week booze cruise all-inclusive the day after Chelsea (a). 

 

11 days training will be more than ample to go play Gateshead and then build the levels from there.

Surely every team is under prepared going in to friendlies? That's the point in them isn't it

Think we will play more of a reserve team against Gateshead.

Well, there'll be a bunch who get extra leave cos they've played internationals after the season (Trippier, Wilson, Bruno, Joelinton, Schar, Dubravka, Pope, Botman, Gordon, Tonali.. and probably a few I missed) who probably won't feature in that match. 

 

It'll be the usual where most players get a half and we indeed see a blend of U23s and first reamers.
