Playing Charlton down in London on 29 July.

Don't usually bother with pre-season friendlies, but that one could be interesting.

Also going to Portugal for a week long training camp (Aberdeen are, not me). 

"More friendlies to be announced" - I imagine once the League Cup draw is made we can pick up teams who have a free date.

Preston tickets on sale next Monday (July 3rd) @ £10 per ticket.

If only all games were as sensibly priced 😉

Opening game against Livi away is a difficult one. Tims at home the following week should be good.

Cheers, I assumed you would so didn't start a new thread. I'd have only done it half-arsedly and you'd be left with it for a year.

Typical. Still fighting rail company over last train they cancelled. 

Jute, what are you guys doing about travel now ?

My train is still not showing as cancelled yet so clutching at straws that it will run rather than accepting reality that it won’t and arranging something else. 

I've requested a refund from Avanti for myself and my son

Bit of a bummer as means having to drive instead now. 

Ignore this post.

Was me talking about potentially going to the Charlton game from Paris. Just realised it's actually Preston we play that day.

Duk, spotted by a Dons fan on holiday in Mexico, casually walking about with his Dons top on.

Don't think it's too early to say that we should be looking for at least £11M for him.

There's bound to be somewhere in the world where shite footballers are a delicacy.

Robson's post match interview well worth a watch with regards to Morris.  When his contribution came up there was a glint in his eye when he talked about him and he wasn't shy of praise. "Since we came in we've put a yard on him already" and "he's electric when he gets going" 

I'm calling it, he will be the break out player of our team this season.  I'm saying this not for how he played today  but because he's clearly impressed Robson and Robson isn't easy to impress.

Robson was giving Morris game time towards the end of last season. Suspect he has always seen something in Morris. I still have no idea what though.
