[PS18]

To be upped periodically as more details become known hopefully

Man Utd XI and Wigan coming to Carrow Road

Norwich City have confirmed two home friendlies as part of the Canaries' pre-season schedule.

Saturday, July 25 will see former United player and now reserve manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer bringing a Manchester United XI to Carrow Road (3pm).

This match will be followed by former Canary Steve Bruce bringing his Premier League Wigan Athletic to Carrow Road on Saturday, August 1 (3pm).

Tickets for these matches are priced at £10 for adults, £5 for under-21s/over-60s and £3 for under-16s. Tickets are on general sale from 9am on May 18 with season ticket holders having until June 20 to claim their seat before they are released for general sale.

Dates?

 

[PS18]

The Rochdale one appears to be July 15th, it's an U18 friendly - appears to be 9 v 9, which will be interesting - http://www.rochdaleafc.co.uk/page/Youth/0,,10441~1655242,00.html

 

[PS18]

The Altrincham game is August 4th - their fans seem to think it's our first team we'll be sending. Seems unlikely...

http://www.htafc.com/page/AcademyNewsDetail/0,,10312~1674040,00.html - Academy friendly vs Huddersfield on August 15th.

 

[Mr. MUJAC]

The date v Luton Town has been announced.


"The Hatters are delighted to announce that Premier League Champions Manchester United will visit Kenilworth Road for a pre-season friendly on Tuesday 28th July kick off 7.45pm.

Sir Alex Ferguson has agreed to send a Manchester United XI to take on Mick Harford's side ahead of our 2009/10 campaign in the Blue Square Premier.

The match with United will mark the launch of a new initiative set-up by supporters to raise money for the club's youth development department."

Yeah it'll be a 'United XI'. But pick of the pre-seasons for me as I'm not going to Munich.
