Coventry city have today announced that their pre-season friendly with Italian and European giants Juventus has been cancelled. The cause of this isn't stated on the club website or in local media but we can speculate that it could possibly be that Juventus were not to receive a big enough amount of money that they would have liked to. The good news is that another friendly against RCD Espanyol has been prompty announced in place. This will take place at exactly the same time as the Juventus game would have. RCD Espanyol reached the final of the EUFA cup last season at Hampden park only to be defeated by fellow countrymen Sevilla.

If I'm honest I don't think I know anybody who will be too disappointed by this news as pre-season friendlies are nothing to get excited about, it's the big kick off we're all looking forward to. And if Juventus did want more money then I'm sure we would all prefer that money to be put towards buying a key player that would help our promotion push rather than it go into the ever increased bank accounts of the a big club.

The revised pre-season fixture list is below. The West Terrace fanzine possé massiv'  will be going to the Northampton Town match, so see you there, you can buy us all a pint.

The full list of fixtures so far is as follows:
