City to go Dutch

Last updated : 01 May 2007 By Rick Lamb
Peter Grant's early preparations for the 2007-2008 Championship season will begin with trips to the South Coast and the Netherlands.

The Canaries' sponsorship deal with Flybe is partly responsible for fellow Flybe side Exeter playing host to the opening match of pre-season at St James' Park on the 14th July.

Grant and his charges will then be back in Norfolk for games at Lowestoft Town and Kings Lynn respectively on the 17th and 18th, before the side hop into Flybe planes to Harderwijk in Holland, where they will play unpronouncable First Division sides AGOOV Apeldoorn and FC Zwolle.

On City's return to the UK there are likely to be further matches ahead of the Championship kick-off on 11th August.
