First on Tuesday 30th July a reserve / youth side will make the short trip to Port Talbot.
Then on Wednesday 31st July the first team play Division 1 outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers at home, giving many people their first opportunity to see summer signings Whalley and Barker. A substantial travelling support is expected from the Black Country for this game.
Friday 2nd August sees our reserve / youth side make the trek to the south coast to play Weymouth. Weymouth are of course remembered in Cardiff for an FA Cup giant-killing win over City at Ninian in the early 80's.

The reserves / youth team finish up with a game at Bath City's Twerton Park ground on Monday 5th August.
