Preseason Friendlies 22/23

[PuB]

We’ve lined up glamour ties against Folkestone Invicta, Dover and Pompey so far. All based on the coast, maybe that’s a theme or something

Anyone playing someone interesting?

Nope. Living the dream we are....

Nothing yet but I expect they will be against local non league sides away and maybe one at home

Rumours of a trip to Alicante but not sure on that myself. Would be nice mind.

Surely a little early to decide where the pre-season tour might be? Doesn’t Spain still have CV-19 restrictions? I thought you have to be double-jabbed to enter? Almost half our squad haven’t even had their 1st jab - rightly so.

Do we refuse to sign new players who haven’t had a jab? All becomes a little sticky for the sake of an overseas tour.

Someone has found out we are booked to play Sutton Common Rovers in a pre season friendly.

I presume they have nothing to do with Sutton Utd as they play at Whyteleaf...the football hotspots we can find.

I'm also presuming it will be a game with 8 or 9 trialists for us but I've been wrong about that before.

Sutton Common Rovers were based at Gander Green Lane from 2015 up until the end of this season. Owned and operated by a single family they had pretty much the lowest average attendance at step 4of the non-league pyramid last season.

Whyteleafe has an artificial pitch so that’ll be enjoyable for you

 

[Crewelad87]

Nantwich Town (A)	Saturday 2 July
Macclesfield FC (A)	Tuesday 5 July
Kidsgrove Athletic (A)	Wednesday 6 July
Barnsley FC (A)	Saturday 9 July
Halesowen Town (A)	Tuesday 12 July
West Bromwich Albion (H)	Saturday 16 July

We've also got Rotherham at home the Saturday before the season starts, all very glamorous.

Hmm, this may well be cancelled then as the old and new owners have said they want to get away from artificial pitches as it was a factor in our horrendous injury list last season (we trained at Horsham on one).

Funnily enough my last proper game was at Whyteleafe's ground. End of season testimonial...Happy days.

We're off to Chester on July 9th. Nice City, respectable club, shame about the somewhat tinpot ground.

Chesterfield away then

 

[Fedora Dale]

A trip to Darlington has been added on Saturday 16th June.

Scunny, Darlo and Chester - refreshingly non-tinpot. Wouldn't mind Southport, either...

just need Oldham now

Ha more like Frickley, Rossington and Armthorpe

Extremely unlikely, as our board and supporters trust are likely to be more in sympathy with the boycotting fans than their spiv of an "owner". Doubt we'll be playing Flyde either...

Oh god - Frickley - been there done that.....

have you ever had to watch your team play them in a (non) league game though

If we keep playing like we did last season anything’s possible

 

[JaredSUFC]

Havant & Waterlooville have announced that they are hosting us on July 9th.

 

[chipmunx]

our 1st pre-season friendly has been announced - away at South Shields on 16th July. a bit of a trek for a pre-season game.... wonder if we've got one of their players lined up - they are a full time team and set up (and crowds) like a NL team.

I did have you down as one for the drop this season, purely based on the fact you were one of only a few clubs we beat towards the end of last season.
You did seem in freefall then and carried it on so who knows!

We’ve been in total free fall since before Moore left us, very poor decisions at board level and poor recruitment. This year is the first in 3 seasons that we aren’t going to have a complete rebuild

You should find L2 a lot easier like we did....eventually. Good luck!
