Do you enjoy the close season?

In years gone by, it was good to have a break after the struggles of yet another unsuccessful season.

Today though, I am well pissed off with so much speculation and I can't wait for next season to start.

What have we got to look forward to over the 8-10 weeks? Endless, mindless speculation and negative press?

You want to read stuff about your club so you read whatever you can.

New kit in a couple of weeks and champions league draw on 25th August.

What else is there to look forwards to?

That'll do for me!

Previous Summers have taught me that nothing really happens until the end of this month as the movers and shakers are on holiday. There are a few important dates though.

June 16/17th(?) - Fixtures announced.

June 23rd - Last day to renew Seasoncard.

July 1st - British transfer window opens.

July 4th - Players return for pre-season training.

July - Various pre-season competitions.

August 1st - Worldwide transfer window opens.

August 7th Community Shield.

So I'm quite happy to enjoy the torrential Summer rain for a few weeks before the build-up for 2011/12 starts in ernest.
