A return to Pittodrie for Wes Burns unless I'm mistaken 😉 

No official announcement from AFC but Ipswich have put it out on their socials.

Be nice of Ipswich if they were to play thon Scottish goalkeeper of theirs to potentially give us a confidence boosting few goals 😉 

Can't be arsed looking, are Ipswich part of the big time in England (biggest league in the world, richest etc etc)? Or are they lower league pish? Will they attract the sky sports pant-pishers for a sellout? 

Relegated from top flight last season.

Is this the glamour tie?

Looks like it. 
 

You able to convince your wife that Cove is a suburb of Edinburgh yet?

Wonder what we will fill 19th July with?

From a purely selfish point of view would be happy with an away day trip to somewhere in north of England.

Bolton, Burnley, Preston, Blackburn spring to mind. Easy to get to on a rail day return ticket.

All shite holes of places but not going for the scenery 🍺

Did wonder about a Cup winners play off away to a Palace on 19th as trip to Charlton a couple of years was a good laugh until I got pished and missed flight home.

You know it makes sense. 

I get a free ticket to the Ipswich game apparently, for paying for a season ticket during COVID. Good work the club. I would have boycotted that English pish had I had to pay, of course. 

Additional game against Buckie Thistle on 5th July announced by Buckie. 
 

Assuming it won’t be a first team that we put out. 
 

No mention of opponents for 19th yet. 

Cove have tickets on sale on website for friendly on the 12th.

Should I convince the boss that this is a sensible idea, what are the transport options from Edinburgh? Would likely need to bring the boys along

Normally  check opposition teams twitter. Only seen Locos and Cove mention anything so far. Link for Cove tickets below and Locos seem to be in person only.
