Top Billing for Pre-Season

Last updated : 07 April 2003 By Andy Beill
Tigers chairman Adam Pearson is trying to line-up three home friendlies against Premiership teams in the summer, and in particular said he was hopeful of a match against Newcastle United.

Scottish Premier League side Hibernian are also set to pay visit to the KC Stadium for Neil Mann's testimonial match. Mann - who retired from football earlier this season after almost 10 years at the club - will play alongside a number of other ex-Tigers.

Meanwhile, away friendly matches are being secured against Conference sides, but no details have been announced as yet.
