Pre season is purely about fitness. Don't read too much into who they play.
But they'll play more than 2, that's for sure.

Yeah believe the start of pre season last year was the same. I know it’s about fitness more than anything. Will get to see some more of the under 21’s in these type of games which is good to see what sort of players may be brought through

I don't know? This write up kind of makes it sound like that's all we are getting considered there will be behind closed doors games

There’ll be some behind closed door games in Portugal I’m sure.

Not really, there's finances to be made and announcing this shambles won't put many bums on seats; in my opinion.

Cardiff have confirmed that we are set for a trip to Portugal for Pre- Season between the 17th and 23rd of July.

Agree with others, these games are about fitness - nothing more.

Always start with games against teams who are at a low level. As has been mentioned, we played low quality teams from Cornwall when Warnock was in charge.

Our games against these Welsh league clubs are our first pre season games.

We then go to Portugal and play teams (with no fans in the ground) who are a bit better quality.

Our final pre season game before the season starts is against a League One club.

This all makes sense and is the sort of pre-season schedule I'd expect.
