Ok it's that time of the year again when the season is drawing to a close we have to endure a long 3 months till the new season starts again apart from the pre season friendlies. 

 

So who does everyone want in pre-season we already have Elgin confirmed on the 12th of July through there. Of course we will probably have the typical Clach and other Highland League friendlies but who else could we get and can we get any "glamour" friendlies at home.

The squad re-assemble for pre-season a-week-on-Thursday (July 26th). The Highland News reports John Hughes as giving Billy McKay a bit longer away! Phew! He hasn't had a proper break!

Any news on home game friendlies?

This could not be better. At a wedding of a Blue in Brum on Friday 1st and then this. So happy that Brummie relatives will get to see ICT.

Wow! That's a belter...well done to the club on getting this arranged. I'd say it's our highest ever profile fixture, south of the border.

Could it be due a little-known clause in the Andrew Shinnie deal? Perfect timing too, the Saturday before the competitive stuff starts.

I think we have a habit of playing down just how "high profile" we are as a club...so it's maybe not that big a shocker that clubs of this calibre are as keen to play as us we will be to play them.  To my knowledge the game is not the result of any clause, but obviously there's the Andy Shinnie connection which adds a little something extra.

 

As you say, timing of it is good as well....what should be a nice stern test before the new league campaign gets under way.  Looking forward to it....and it's a helluva lot less driving than what I had for the round trip to Charlton last year... :lol:

At home to a leading championship club on 26th July  -Scottish championship I mean -anyone heard Rangers FC apparently coming up to play Brora and looking to play us?

They're playing Buckie Thistle and Brora - that's it. Then they go to North America.

Finances a bit tight then?  :ponder:

Bloody typical, get a decent away fixture I could walk to and I'm on a different continent. Birmingham away will be a decent day out. Enjoy all.

Knew you'd be gutted! Sod's law eh?

Not "really" a friendly, but I see we've been drawn away to Clach in the North of Scotland Cup.

Good find, Renegade. As you say, not a friendly as such, but still a pre-season game, so I'm going to add it to our list!

I note County have forgotten their roots and elected not to compete!

Dont the U-20's usually contest the NoS Cup

Yeah, it normally is and will likely be the case for that Clach game. It looks like the Highland League programme's starting earlier this season due to the potential end of season play-off scenario re. SPFL qualification.*

But, as the North Cup fixture coincides with our pre-season, I thought it would be 'eligible' to appear in the list.

 

* I note that Brora are undergoing a series of ground improvements, including upgrading their tannoy system and increasing the 'lux' (brightness) of their floodlights, to comply with SPFL regulations.

A strange development for a club who allegedly have no interest in the Scottish League (according to certain fans)!!! :smile:

I think it is obvious that Brora are  committed to moving right along whatever road they can handle, so long as it is upwards?

Does anyone know if ICT are sending a team through to Aberdeen for the Denis Law Soccer ( :thumbdown:) Tournament?

I'd also be interested in this, as there were some great games. I think Ali Sutherland played in them for us last year...
