Following this season, a summer of changes occurred with manager Glenn Hoddle resigning and many of the club's first team players departing.
Pre season began on 27 June with a week training at the National Sports Centre at Lilleshall.
The provisional fixture list was released on 23 June 2005, but was subject to change in the event of matches being selected for television coverage or police concerns.
The previous season's home kit was retained, featuring the club's traditional gold and black colours.
The kits were manufactured by Le Coq Sportif and featured Chaucer Consulting as sponsor for a second season.
