Tentative pre season plans


The Imps have released details of our first pre season matches. So far six have been arranged so we may see a couple of additions in the coming days or weeks. The first one at Ilkeston Town has been switched from the first date published so its worth keeping an eye on the clubs website to check if any others change.

Sat 16th July Ilkeston Town (A)
Tues 19th July Barton Town old boys (A)
Wed 20th July Brigg Town (A)
Sun 24th July Scunthorpe United* (H)
Tues 26th July Gainsborough Trinity (A)
Sat 6th August Boston United (A)

* Lincolnshire senior cup semi final. Its also the Imps community open day so we could well unveil our shinny new Nike kits that day.

So it looks as if we wont have to travel to far get our first look at the new Imps.We should be going to most of the games mentioned although none of us are to bothered about going to Boston so we could well take in another game on that date. Its also worth remembering that should we somehow beat Scunthrope United we will face Grimsby Town in the final at a date to be arranged.
I have had a quick look around other local clubs to see whos playing who. Retford United have announced their first friendlies with The home match with Rainworth Miners Welfare on the 23th of July a good fall back If we can't find anything else. On August the 3rd(A Wednesday evening) they make the short trip to Sandy Lane Worksop to play Parramore Sports or whatever they will be calling themselves next season. Failing doing the Retford game on the 23rd Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds United looks quite appealing and would my choice of game. Barnsley v Feyernoord could also be quite interesting.
Watch this space as they say...
