A Town XI are likely to play a pre-season friendly against Bury Town at Ram Meadow on 2nd August. The game will be a testimonial for Bury's Trevor Collins.
The match is not yet unconfirmed and is likely to see a mixture of reserves and first teamers in action. Town are also set to play a similar line-up in a game at Framlingham Town, date not yet set.
The first team pre-season programme was recently announced and starts with a visit to Roots Hall, Southend on Tuesday, July 15th (KO 7.30pm).
Two days later the club is off to Scandinavia where they will be based at Trelleborg in Sweden. The first game will be against Swedes Mjällby AIF on July 18th (KO 7pm).
July 20th sees Town face Danish club Helsingør IF (KO 3pm). Helsingør will be familiar to some Town fans, many of whom took a trip across the Øresund from Helsingborg when the Blues faced the Swedish side in the UEFA Cup two years ago. Helsingør are said to be the equivalent of a Third Division or Conference side.
A game at Trelleborg against a side made up of players from Trelleborgs FF, IFK Trelleborg and BK Ymor will complete the tour on July 22nd (KO 7pm).
After returning Town will face Boston United at York Street on July 30th. Reports recently indicated that a game at Colchester is also planned, although this is still some way from being confirmed.
