Surely the old bill would be nervous about a friendly with the nigels. Ticket selling on friendlies tends to be a lot less rigid then league games so theres potential for more...shall we say....unsavoury characters to show up.
I imagine clubs like Reading and Palace don't want to risk paying fees to overseas clubs for friendlies which might then get restricted attendances.
So they go for a big local club instead.
The potential for aggro and the extra police costs do make it seem an odd choice but Thomas is mates with Parish and Gallen mates with Freedman, their DOF, so who knows, maybe it was agreed as a football match and other, off the field stuff not considered?

Is there any more potential for agro than when we played Millwall 10 years ago?

Was there any agro at that game?
Not that a saw but couldn't have been away from the ground.

Wont be surprised if we have a home friendly on the 31st as its the week before the season starts
i guess the fully recoverable policing costs are less of an issue to a club with PL revenue but even so it seems an unlikely idea.
Hopefully tickets will be available for those who want to go.

Random idea but maybe people could act like adults.
