I can only assume that it was arranged before Leicester won the league, they were then included in this international tournament which naffed up friendlies this end..... otherwise brewery and organising springs to mind

It seems we didn't tie them down to a binding agreement what a coup that would have been

So the full schedule is....

16th Sheff W (H)
19th Matlock T (A)
23rd Ilkeston (A)
26th Derby (H) - god knows the status of that game
30th Buxton (A)
2nd Leicester 1X (H)

What a bizarre and lop-sided preseason that is!

Surely the precieved wisdom is you start off with games against local sides and slowly build up to more difficult games

Get us all tuned up to the JPT (or whatever it is called now)

They can't even arrange a proper preseason

Playing a team of 9 Leicester under 21's is even less of a draw!

Think I will swerve em all apart from Buxton. Not interested in the slightest. Same old same old. Couldn't even sort anything decent for our 150th anniversary.

Playing a Leicester City development squad (because all the promising U21 will surely be off with the proper squad) is unreal and just a few days before the start of the L1 season.

Can this actually be classed as a first team friendly? Surely DW hasn't signed this off? Maybe there is another one planned? Difficult to see how it would be fitted in?

I'm anagnostic, but God help CFC?

No secrecy last year over the overseas fixture so why this, especially given the raffle that would have allowed anyone who bought the winning ticket to attend ?

It would seem father fanciful than he's not known by anyone on here nor exists on social media. If that's the case of course.
