Billy's Boys Are Off To Italy On Wednesday
The Magpies fly out on Wednesday 23rd July to their Italian training camp, and will play two 45 minute matches during their stay, both on the same day, Sunday 27th July.

Notts will start off a mini three team tournament against Greek side Skoda Xanthi FC at 4:00PM, with the winners of that match taking on Val Rendena Trentino at 6:00PM, and the losers facing them at 5:00PM.

All matches will be played at the Stadio Comunale in Pinzolo.

The Magpies will then fly home for their final two pre-season games next week against Stoke City and Belgian side Royal Antwerp.

Skoda Xanthi Information:
Skoda Xanthi faced Lazio in last season's UEFA Cup, and after being well beaten 4-0 away from home, they managed a creditable 0-0 draw on their own soil.

In recent years a number of their highly rated younger players have gone on to play for the top teams in Greece, such as Panathinaikos and Olympiakos who have both featured in the UEFA Champions League in recent seasons.

They have their own club website, which can be found by Clicking Here
