Are we bothering this year?
Who would be responsible for organising it? Where, how many games, against who? |  |

Hopefully somewhere fans can actually go. Will be announced soon once the season is over as usual I guess. So maybe in a week or so time once the playoffs are done. |  |

Think our pre season is usually arranged by Secret Escapes. |  | | |

Heard the other night at Rangers the youth team have now qualified for the European Development League. They will have some decent trips next season apparently. Similar format to the Europa / Conference Leagues. |  | | |

I don't really like the whole pre season thing Ted. It doesn't feel related to anything that follows it. I think the players should do no prep and just stagger out onto the pitch on day one a minute before kick off, down a few Jägerbombs, stub out the cigarette and wait for the whistle. We'd probably start the season better. |  |

For my peripheral part, I don't think I can take another half-cooked pre-season of unpublicised games, disregard for fans, and pitiful defeats to Div 1 teams. Perhaps, once he's finished his spot of gardening, in his debrief Marti could give the club his thoughts on how last time out our crap preps contributed, once again, to another sh*t (start to) the season, and who takes responsibility.
In other news, as I write, pigs are flying across South Africa Road. |  |

Nourry planned pre season last year. He told us that himself. | | | |

A mate just sent me a message, Winchester City v QPR 19 July - according to website. I misread it and was looking at the Man City website half expecting it to be in Dubai. Prefer a day out in Winchester tbh. Should think it would be an Rs XI of youngsters similar to the Farnham Town game which feels like only the other day. |  | | |

Our two big friendlies last time were Spurs and Leicester i believe
I predict an ex Eze derby against Palace at Loftus Road as the standout friendly this season.
Any takers ?? [Post edited 18 May 18:27]

Some clubs force their employees to sign NDA's about pre-season friendlies. We don't even tell the players. One of my lot tried to find out who Fulham were playing pre-season once. Got no joy out of the club, so started asking around in the local pubs and on social media but still nothing. One evening, coming out of the Crabtree, he was walking down Rainville Road, when a van pulled up, the door slid open, and two blokes in balaclavas jumped out and bundled him into the van. One of the men stamped on his phone. They had him face down, blindfolded, with cable ties on his ankles and wrists. He was in the van for what seemed like hours before they left a main road and travelled along a dirt track for a couple of miles. He had no idea what was happening and thought he was going to die.
Eventually, he was dragged out of the van, with one of the men forcing a piece of paper into his mouth. "You need to start minding your own business, you nosy cun t" said one of the men before booting him in the ribs. The van drove off, but a few minutes later he heard a vehicle approaching, stopping, and shortly afterwards another car arriving. Fortunately for him, he'd been abandoned in one of Derbyshire's busiest dogging hotspots, and a kindly, horny couple from Matlock, grabbed a toolbox from their van, cut through the cable ties, pulled back the blindfold, and removed the envelope from his mouth. He opened the envelope, and inside was a piece of A4 paper, and written in black ink: 'Benfica XI. Portugal. Kick-off in 10 minutes'. He went through hell that evening, but he did get to watch people having sex in cars, and a lift back to Matlock, so it wasn't all bad. |  |

You might be referring to the Premier League International Cup.
If you want to get into the Premier League international cup, you have to be a Category 1 team

A small detail so far over looked. Winchester City, though currently more informative about next season’s QPR fixtures than QPR are - can’t spell Tadley Calleva.
