Pre season Scotland trip playing Morton on 17th July
and Falkirk on 19th.

York City on 30th and Rotherham on 2nd August. Not sure if they home or away.

Centenary Tournament at the Vic on 26th and 27th July with Huddersfield. Sunderland XI with another team to be confirmed shortly.

I find those friendlies particularly dull.

Very few went to the exciting ones so you can't blame them.

Cue, shouts, too expensive!!!

TOO EXPENSIVE!!!

Club text is wrong web site says Scotland games are 15th and 17th just had 2nd text saying that.

Does that mean it cost me twice as much because of their mistake. .

Maybe they reduce my season ticket price by the 25p

I concur.

If someones not good enough to even get a game for the sunderland first team then it aint worth going to watch them against pools.

Waghorn, Yorke, Leadbitter, Wallace, prica etc

Wow how exciting....

GET ME A TICKET NOW!

Very poor show Sunderland ressie no thanks.

Not blaming Blunderland just saying we could have got a big club like York instead of Blunderland.

i agree, fook the mackems off and ask the geordies, at least they show a little respect to us!

Sunderland are bricking sending a first team to save blushes after our close show in FA cup

If all goes to plan I am working in Scotland that week. Chances are though, it will all go tits up and I will be in Devon instead.

Very disappointing that sunderland malarky

i'd have rather got darlo

newcastle show pools no respect, mark my words

The trouble is that by agreeing to having Sunderland reserves/youth team in this mini tournament they have just lost half the potential crowd. I'd find it difficult to get motivated for a friendly but if it were against the likes of Darlo or Sheff Weds then I'd be interested. I suspect I'm not alone in that.

All the fixtures sound like ones to miss.... Unless of course we make some excellent signings as expected - just like we did last summer

who have fooked us off by all accounts

a decent kraut team i believe

Hope they like playing in front of 200 people.

And why can't Sunderland send there first team to pools and a fringe team to other games.

After all we are neighbours and are celebrating 100 years.

Aye, because they have really pulled out the stops to help us in the past, havent they....!

i wish we could of played the jordies instead, arent they playing doncaster or have i made that up

Yes cos Notts Forest are in the north-east!

Danny Calls Roy, alright Roy, fancy sending a team down for a 4 season tournament to celebrate our centenary, Roy "ok danny boy but its gonna be our reserves, already have the first team off abroad playing a few decent European teams"

Now danny could have said "feck off yer cheeky irish kent, its our centenary we are talking about"

Instead danny says, fine, cant wait, a sunderland x11, its certain to bring the crowds flocking in.
Pools feck up again, so unless they keep the prices down for the 2 days i.e. £10 for the 2 days i'd only open the cyril knowles

Say what you like about Newcastle but they've always sent a strong team here for friendlies.
Now I'm not denying Sunderland's right to send whatever the hell team they like, especially if they are being up front about it.
But by the same token we have the right to say no thank you.

Unlike meaningless photos in meaningless lounges, this is something I'm prepared to kick up a fuss about. Let's get this match called off.

...and organise a real match for the first team the same day!

The Falkirk friendly is to be played at there training pitch in a university so i'm not bothering going there now either..

instead of playing football during these friendlies, why doesn't everyone just get pissed up instead?

The most sensible thing to be ever said on the Bunker!

Sorry to dissapoint but Darlo have bigger clubs to play this summer

Aye play the big clubs during the summer because its back to the (massive) teams in league TWO in august!!!

Shame about next season though,eh??

Along with Rochdale, Darlow are recorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddddddddddddd breakkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrs, Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Guess we are the bigger draw for the big boys

Cnuty wunty nobby wobby, thats you, a bounder I mean

Nah what they are thinking is that normally in a big game your bottle goes and you throw in the towel, so they are guaranteed a win to make pre season run a bit smoother.

I wish we could play you every week, not sure whether you could get sick of winning every week???

Leeds - in our division therefore out peers and no longer big boys

Mbro - and.....

Give over you daft bat.

It's all about money and Darlo are bigger bucks than pools simple

Your friendlies in Scotland elvis , has the news reached the clans yet ?

Nufc not confirmed yet....July 26th looks like a charity day for some hill billy fc or someone...Probably the greatest day of there lives Bless there rags

SEEMS LIKE HE DONT KNOW...Why are NUFC not sending a team?

I fully agree
