QPR to play in Cornwall and Italy this pre-season

Championship winners QPR will undertake the same preparation as they did for the 2010/11 season with trips to Cornwall and Italy this summer.

Neil Warnock will take his men to Cornwall where they will play Tavistock (18th), Plymouth Argyle (20th) and Bodmin Town (22nd) before returning to London straight after their final fixture and then flying out to Italy on 25th July, where they will stay until 1st August.

Two fixtures will take place during their week in Milano Marittima, although the details of these games are still to be confirmed.

When the R's return from Italy, they will visit Crawley Town on 2nd August.

The Reserves and Youth Team will also be heading to the West Country, where a total of nine games will be played.

"With my links to Cornwall, I am inundated every year, and unfortunately have to disappoint an awful lot of people," Warnock told the club's official website.

"So I am really pleased that we will be taking the First Team, Reserves and Youth Team there this pre-season.

"It's great down there, the training facilities are fantastic. But, more importantly than that, it gives the players a real opportunity to bond with each other.

"I have found it beneficial throughout my career to take teams there, and I don't see any reason to change it now.
