If not, it seems even odder that four weeks tomorrow a Dale squad should be travelling so far for a behind-closed-doors friendly. (But harder to speculate why Luton would make the journey to somewhere like Hyde.) |  | |  |

Or it fits in with their pre-season training camp: https://www.lutontown.co.uk/news/2021/june/pre-season/ |  |

Just looked up halfway between Rochdale and Luton. https://www.meetways.com/map/Luton/Rochdale/restaurant/d It is Nottingham maybe Chalky's lots ground will be the chosen venue. |  |

An interesting link though there's nothing about a camp, just Luton's 'pre-season campaign.' Currently the schedule consists of fixtures at Hitchin Town (free to over-80s!), Bedford Town and Boreham Wood, with Portsmouth at home. That leaves Dale behind closed doors at a neutral venue. It still seems puzzling that a match has been arranged without saying where. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

It's mentioned in the paragraph starting "A week later..." |  |

"A week later, Saturday 10th July, the Hatters face Rochdale — the now-League Two club with whom defender Gabriel Osho spent a period on loan last season — in a behind-closed-doors match at a neutral venue, to close a week-long UK training camp." Maybe it's a behind-closed doors training camp, given that the above paragraph appears to be the only mention of it. I suppose, in the way customary among Dale fans, it's a case of wait and see. |  | |  |

Maybe Dale are training nearby; maybe Luton are training in the north-west. We've obviously developed a relationship with them over Osho, while Nathan Jones said in an interview last season how often they had watched Norrington-Davies when he was on loan with us. It's clearly just a convenient friendly for whatever reasons. I'm not sure what the fuss is about. [Post edited 11 Jun 2021 22:40]

There's fuss because there's nothing else to talk about. We should have had the info about the contract renewals by now. Think people are getting a bit frustrated with the slow progress/ lack of news. |  |

Agree with that about the lack of player news, but I would imagine the changes at boardroom level are partly influencing that. The why, where and how of a friendly against Luton are completely separate issues that probably have a very simple explanation. |  |
