in my opinion friendlies should be aimed at the non regular fan, something attractive and priced to suit. For the regular fan its only real benefit is to satisfy the lack of football for two months.

I personally haven't been a fan of friendlies for many a long year, the lack of ANY atmosphere, the lack of edge to the game, the constant changing of personnel, the unfamiliarity of the line-ups, the guessing game of "who is he, he's awful", the annoyance of "who is he, get him signed, he's ace" -quickly followed by the aforementioned being released, the paying of a tenner or so for the privilege of all the other points.

There are obviously many for whom its a welcome return to a saturday without shopping bags and DIY shops, and the chance to cast their eyes judgementally over the new signing, but I'll never be one.
