Think the championship team is Southampton as seen someone with a Southampton coat near Woodies

Contracts usually end at the end of June IIRC

Did contracts end already, I’ve forgotten when that happens…?

CW - Wrexham seem to think that they are Barcelona or something….

Starting to see the odd new signing from clubs “around our level” - wonder if Hash will get his first new signing Thursday tomorrow or Friday.

Wrexham AFC has now announced the full pre-season tour matches for the summer of 2026. The tour will start in Europe with a celebration of Wisła Kraków's 120th anniversary at the Synerise Arena Kraków before facing Manchester United at Helsinki's iconic Olympic Stadium. The Red Dragons will then be returning Stateside for the third time, and first since 2024, and will play against Liverpool, Leeds United and Sunderland AFC.

Millwall please as the other championship club.

At least in the norwich friendly we can sing songs about Andy Roberts and both sets of fans will join in.

Agree with you Surby, there’s nothing there exciting 😩

Maybe there is a link between friendlies and who we have bought to replace the players leaving

Very dull away pre season fixtures. I am sure we played Wealdstone recently and Sutton, well, it's Sutton. Norwich at home is alright. Be interesting to see who the other Championship opposition is.

West Ham is possible after we played them last season in the EFL Trophy

Last time we played them in a pre season friendly was at Edgware... one of their drunken fans foolishly picked up a loose scaffolding pole and attempted to attack our fans with it... needless to say, it did not end well for him.

Championship side could be West Ham. Or maybe Lincoln

Ooh Norwich, Charlton and an Championshio side at home and Wealdstone away

Just got back from Cyprus which was relatively quiet, back in March the military base was nearly hit by a drone and people have avoided going there s a result, in fact perfectly safe and the only people losing out is the Cypriot people who rely on tourism

As someone who works for an airline I can second that, the fuel prices are insane!

UK holiday destinations are popular atm due to higher jet fuel/air-ticket prices plus a lot of airlines are cutting back schedules

No! I've got more sense than that. It was week before. The heatwave hit during half-term but I understand the West got milder weather (low 20s)

Was that during half term though RK?

The thunderstorm yesterday had a strike near enough us that light and sound seemed simultaneous and it took out our broadband. Stuck on a mobile signal till EE/BT get us a new router.

Spit, I just had a ten day break in Cornwall-Devon pre heatwave. It was cold (about 14c) windy & a bit wet plus you took an eternity to find a car park space (and pay for it ..) anywhere

Generally fine, not greatly.

Morning all. A lot of travel insurance generally is consolidating, it seems, but as long as they're underwritten by somebody like AXA they're greatly fine. Not sure about those with pre existing conditions though

I get travel insurance free with First Direct but they are just advised they are withdrawing this from the end of summer
