No pre-season tour to Sweden

The club have today announced our pre-season friendly schedule. There is no pre-season trip to Sweden. The news article released on Walsall MAD last month was from a good source but instead the club have decided that a residential to Lilleshall will fit the bill. This residential will be in the beggining of July where the club will seek to play other English sides in behind closed door games, while also use the trip as a team building exercise.

The confirmed pre-season fixtures are:

Wednesday, July 12th v Halesowen Town (away) (kick-off 7.30pm),

Saturday, July 15th v West Bromwich Albion (home - Ian Roper Testimonial) (kick-off 3.00pm),

Tuesday, July 18th v Manchester United XI (home) (kick-off 7.45pm),

Wednesday, July 19th v Hednesford Town (away) (kick-off 7.45pm),

Friday, July 21st v Aston Villa (home) (kick-off 7.45pm),

Saturday, July 22nd v Rushall Olympic (away) (kick-off 3.00pm),

Tuesday, July 25th v Rushden & Diamonds (away) (kick-off 7.45pm),

Saturday, July 29th v Stafford Rangers (away) (kick-off 3.00pm),
