MUST SEE GAMES

[BlueGate Alan]

For those of you who may not know next Saturday the 1st team are playing the Reserves in a friendly. Should be worth going along. Then don't forget the following morning the U18's are taking on Ramsgate at 11am.

 

Be great if we could have a good turnout for both games.

[Ian_Sanderson]

Id have assumed there will be a few from Margate at Southwood to watch Ramsgate V Hendon

[Boney Crisp]

I will probably go to HDP Ian as it will be good look at our reserve side come up against a first team side then we can see properly who could be up for the challenge of playing for the first team

Sounds great fixture weekend.

 

Agree with Alex-you never know-maybe the odd trialist aswell.

 

I wonder even if Yianni may get 20 minutes run out ?

[AncientBlue]

Would sooner watch Margate reserves than Ramsgate

[differentgame]

Thanks TA for the add. Just posted u18 report on todays game. U18s are getting results - one way or the other. Rams will not want to lose twice against the Blues in one season so should be a good game!

Wonder what time kick off is on saturday-wondered whether it may be 2pm in order to save on floodlight costs in first half

[Boney Crisp]

Also does anyone know if first team prices will apply for this game or will they be at reserve prices. I think if they are at reserve prices we will beat Ramsgates attendance, that would be embarrasing for them. On a serious note it will be good to see as many Gate fans as possible turning up for this.

[Porka]

I don't think many will turn up if they charge nine quid. The club would make more money by lowering prices and getting that info in the paper.

[buzzgate]

Be a freebie id have thought

[michael]

If it was £2 (reserve prices) fantastic value for you lucky local people

 

The club are rightly entitled to make some money to support the club.

 

Boxing day was just a rehearsal-this is the real battle of Thanet between the Islands top two sides-Margate and Margate reserves

[BlueGate Alan]

Well said Michael

I would rather watch paint dry than watch Ramsgate.

Kick-off is at midday Michael.Now I can go to see BOTH Thanet games one after the other.
It's my choice to visit Ramsgate after & at any other time might I add & I apologise not for doing so.
They are in our league & it is of an interest to me at least,to see another match in that league involving two of our main rivals & conveniently its just up the road too.
Before anyone says anything it dosen't make me any less a Margate fan & supporter for going there occasionally than it it does for those that wont go there at all.
Yep,Margate at midday & then off to Deadwood for 3 o'clock for me.
Just to add that had the Margate game been a 3 o'clock k.o,on this occasion,that would have been my first choice.

[BlueGate Alan]

Tony how do you know its a midday kick off? Nothing on official web site is there?

[Cookie]

It says so in the local today Alan.

 

Quote

"Margate are without a game on Saturday,with scheduled opponents AFC Wimbledon in F.A.Trophy action"

"Instead the "Blues" will face their own reserve side at Hartsdown Park in a NOON KICK-OFF"!

 

Good point though about it not being confirmed on the official page.Maybe that will come later.

[BlueGate Alan]

Ah thanks Tony, not got one today yet! Can't say I blame them saves on floodlights

[blueblood]

Have heard quite a few say they are going to watch. Personally after watching what you laughingly(i hope you were) call football at Hartsdown on boxing day, i don't know how they can.
