Preparations are well underway for the 2015 / 2016 season and two pre season games have been confirmed.
Cardiff will play away games at Forest Green on Wednesday July 15th before visiting New Meadow to play Shrewsbury on Saturday July 18th.
The following day the squad head to Holland for a pre season tour with two games expected on the Tuesday and Friday of that week.
The club are hoping to announce two home friendlies against possible Premier League, French or Spanish opposition ahead of the league start on the weekend of August 8th.
The team will also face six days of boot camp at luxury resort Champney's in Leicestershire but it's not going to be a relaxing week.
“It’s no jolly. That is going to be hard work for six days,” said Russell Slade.
