Ha, where do you get that idea from? As has been mentioned, they are Championship level.

A rare game on my birthday!

I reckon part of the deal for Billy Murphy to join us was Bristol City to visit us for a money spinning friendly...

And the rumour in Sutton circles is that we're going there pre-season as part of Fleetwood's deal.

That's eight games in a month. The lads will be knackered before the season starts.

It's to get them conditioned for our long cup run in the Autumn/Winter...

That intrigued me enough to go look at how many we played last year, which was 7, and we started well enough (less said about post August the better!).

It appears we seem to have roughly 6/7 friendlies most years, apart from 2010-11 when we had 9! I don't remember thinking we'd played that many, but maybe it was all the excitement building towards the first season in the Conf National in far too long that made them fly past.

Its all right lads - we'll have so many players signed on by then that they won't be playing many friendlies each!
