Is it just U23s or is there going to be a few first team players

Why on earth would you think County would put out a team of kids against a Championship side the week before the season begins?

I'm sure he means Stoke,are they playing any senior stars.

I was kinda half joking, but the only way to have a decent guess is to look at their other preseason games.

I should think that having just been relegated and losing some of their best players they'll be playing the best available team as much as possible to get the gaps filled and the players gelling asap for the season ahead.

And having said that, they've got it listed as an U23 friendly on their website: https://www.stokecityfc.com/news/u23s-f ... -confirmed and their first team are away to St-Pauli in Germany, so I very much doubt there will be any first teamers at Rodney Parade as the "playing the best available team" comment I made above will relate to the match in Germany instead.
