Apologies, these aren't listed in the usual manner, so all I've done is lifted Rich Self's words from the Hawks website.... He seems impressed The Hawks have now released a provisional list of upcoming friendlies, boasting possibly the most impressive looking selection of games in the club’s history. The Hawks’ pre-season will start on Saturday July 8th at Westleigh Park when the side take on Coca Cola League One side AFC Bournemouth. Following this, a home game against Portsmouth has been confirmed but is still awaiting a date.
Also confirmed but with a date to be finalised is an appetising triangular tournament in Wales against League One playoff runners up Swansea City and League of Wales runners up Llanelli, who will be preparing for their participation in next season’s Champions League.
Following this the Hawks will gain the opportunity to test their mettle against two Conference National sides at Westleigh Park. St Albans City will visit on Tuesday 1st August, and last season’s FA Trophy winners Grays Athletic on Friday 4th August.

Can anyone tell me why we NEVER, EVER get a good pre-season? OK, so once we had Brighton AND LEicester pre-season (shock! ) but it appears that was a one-off. They usually try to fob us off with "a Fulham XI" which naturally consists of lots of young men who've never played against a side as big as Sutton before , and a large selection of little teams from Surrey and Middlesex, who are all lovely and all, but don't exactly draw the crowds. And of course we have to play them all at their grounds as we are always the bigger team! Boooooooring

Well, this pre-season we've got trips to Horsham and Worthing, both of which are in Sussex. OK, the Worthing trip is a midweek evening (and when I'm in Munich!) but still not bad.

Yeah, all right. Surrey, Kent and Sussex (both) then. But still. Boring!

Few changes to ours.
1) The away game at Northwich is now at home
2) The home game at Rushall is now away
3) The home game against TNS now kicks off at 2 rather than 3.
Nothing that major really.
