Town will as usual spend time in Scandinavia in the summer as they prepare for the new season. A six-day trip to Sweden and Denmark has been organised for mid-to-late July.

Provisionally Town are set to take on Trelleborgs FF, former UEFA Cup opponents Helsingborgs IF and Farum BK, who the Blues faced on last year's tour.

Town will arrive in Scandinavia on July 17th and return on the 23rd.

Joe Royle also plans a number of local friendlies as well as the usual continental warm-up at Portman Road a week or so before the beginning of the season.
