Thing is that I'd ay £15 to see a full 1st choice team but won't go to a friendly reserves game even if it were a fiver

The reserves need some game time as well !

Correct and some of those reserves may will be playing first team before the seasons over, so it will give them a good run out.

I'll be there I need my fix, and money for club

So is this a first team fixture or a reserve team fixture

Thats all well and good Al,but surely RA's starting 17 should take priority, and take advantage of bonding/ gelling/playing together. The reserves are a big part of a club like ours but the first team plays a bigger part at this moment in time especially as its a whole new team.

If its reserves playing that surely will affect the attendance.

Should we not get the first team playing together first .

Of course guys we need to run the squad and bond them but we still have another 3 warm up games and they all need a run out.

You would think it will be mainly first teamers in France and Cas with a sprinking of youngsters, maybe a mixed bunch at Batley.

Do you want burn out and injuries before the season starts, imo its been done in the right way but you and others may see it differently.

Last season the reserves had their own friendly games
