Warney was asked about the preparations for the team's return to training next week; “Everything is good in that respect. The only downside was that we had games against Championship clubs for pre-season because we wanted big games at New York, but obviously since we've gone up, the downside of the promotion I suppose is that those games had to be cancelled as neither party wanted them." he told themillers.co.uk

“Personally, I don't really mind who we play pre-season, I understand it from the commercial point of view but the games themselves are just to get the lads fit, strong and match ready, playing how we want to play."

“The results are immaterial really. It's good to get used to winning but I think someone told me that nearly all the teams we played pre-season last year got relegated, which is probably why we're still struggling to fill one fixture at the moment!"

“We'll get the games and if we don't get the ones we want, I hope to have a competitive squad and we'll just play games against ourselves at the stadium or the training ground and we'll get the minutes and the fitness into the lads to prepare them for what should be a really exciting season.”
