Pre-Season

[Royal]

The absolute dramatics preseason is largely about fitness, I don't mind at all that they're putting on games local enough for me to actually attend. They will arrange further fixtures and whether they're in Spain or Scotland, the point will be fitness, easing in new players, and working out the game plan. Far more important than trying to convince foriegn neutrals to support a team who just avoided relegation (they won't)

Just had a message there to say were not going abroad this summer as the club cant afford it ha. Surely not

Untrue

Casting our net far and wide I see to maximise awareness outside of the city.

Where's the pre-season transport and hotel money Bill?

I guess it saves on petrol. FFS what a grim list to release. The crappy side of The Wirral, Bolton, and Stoke. It's like someone said "Name three places in England that it would hurt your soul to travel to"

Be great for fans of Everton from Bolton to experience the blues live.

In the early 70’s our manager Billy Bingham used to take the players to Formby sand dunes, that was our fitness camp !
We’d regularly play Shamrock Rovers away for some reason around that era.
Just before our league winning season of 69-70, we had a friendly at Darlington which we lost 4-3, and fans were fumin’, not knowing what was to come that great season.

Exactly so. Just more terrible comms.

Everton fans could do with a little pick me up after that season, a nice exotic fixture. It doesn't have to be against a Champions League side, just a continental team we've heard of.

Instead, we get the dregs of pre-season announced before anything else.

It's just more proof the club is run by a bunch of amateurs.

How about another trip to Nuremberg ?

All they had to do was add a Belgium or Holland fixture and no one would be caring about the quality of the English fixtures because they'd be looking for hotels and travel and be excited.

Doing everything he can to get fit, great abs also

Proper bed wetting over these fixtures.

Exactly who we should be playing to ensure the players are fit and ready for the season. Both Bolton and Stoke will be at pretty much full fitness as their seasons will be about to start.

I'd love another trip abroad, but id rather us be prepared for the season.

And as for the money element. We went to Aus last year. Look how well prepared we were coming back after Xmas.

the flaw in your argument is we had the most useless manager in PL history in charge.

This is a good point. Saves them making the pilgrimage, loading the camels on the long and dangerous trek.

Despite Everton's lack of options in attack Dyche refused to rush the striker back from his most recent injury lay-off

Important to expand our reach commercially. So a trip to Bolton sounds ideal.
