Yeah, certainly not a pre-season format we've seen before but I'm sure it's been put together with all the usual priorities in mind.
More time on the training pitch is probably better tbh. I feel like fitness should be the easiest thing to attain, where clubs really excel or not is with their team spirit and working on cohesive link ups or patterns of play.

I expect there may well be 'behind closed doors' matches as well.
With new patterns of play to integrate into training, probably wants to play these away from viewing eyes, make them more of a training exercise than a formal match.

If it was going to be behind closed doors I would think they would have said so?
We fielded a young United XI on Cherryhinton and Shelford recreation grounds in the past, which fans attended, so it shouldn’t be a problem

I played in that game for Great Shelford against a United XI. Or should I say, I run doggies for 90 mins.

Considering we play the next day as well I doubt it will be a full strength United team playing either

Google reckons we are playing Maritimo on July 17th. They are from Madeira. Maybe the Portugal training camp isn’t on the mainland.
