Town could be off to Belfast for one of their pre-season games, according to reports this afternoon. Boss Jim Magilton was keen to take the Blues back to his hometown a year ago, but ultimately no game took place.

The Blues are also now reported to be lining up two Premier League sides for both home friendlies, which have been pencilled in for Saturday 26th July and Friday 8th August.

Away games at AFC Sudbury on Tuesday 5th August, Bury Town on Wednesday 9th July, Tiptree United on Thursday 24th July and Brentford on Friday 11th July have already been arranged, while there reportedly could be a trip to play a higher profile European friendly.

The Town squad are due back at Playford Road towards the end of June, although there will be a session prior to that earlier in the month when they start to get themselves back into shape after their summer break.
