Llanelli AFC

[Jake]

I see we're playing them away on the 3rd August 2:30 kick off.

[Cookie]

Dunno how you found that out Jake but you are correct... according to them.(A Sunday too)

Given there's a friendly at Chatham the day before, I wonder if the Welsh trip (wonder where that idea came from) will include first teamers with basically reserves at Chatham?

[Jake]

I heared a rumor a while back that we might be playing them and I just randomly went on their website and saw it on there.

[michael]

Local to me then-only about 110 miles away

 

 

I wonder if there is another friendly in the area-usually you would fit 2 in on that type of trip.

[michael]

You do wonder if it is 'us' though.

 

Margate Town ?

 

I wonder what the connection is-Neville/Yorath ?

 

Opportunity for some of our welsh supporters to visit the green green grass of home.

 

Anyone doing tee-shirts-Margate on tour 2008 ?

[Boney Crisp]

What an odd fixture. Something to look forward to in pre-season now

[michael]

Some wanted tougher opposition-these guys are in the European Champions League !!

Only problem with that is that the reserves are now the first team. Many good players among them though

[hangthedj]

You are right MM. But many of last year's U18's are now the reserves, so its a neverending cycle.

[hangthedj]

Just to add....surely we can get a minibus or something to take to this game. What a superb day out it would be.

Agree!

[michael]

Boys (and girls on tour eh ? )

 

Llanelli is a long long way from Margate.-0ver 350 miles

 

Still-into Europe against a team in the European champions league can't be bad

 

The distance does make it all seem rather odd !!

 

I guess rather than spend the alledged

[BlueGate Alan]

It would be at least a 5 hour journey from Thanet, one way!

[michael]

i just hope the players all get back safely in time for season kick off on 16th August

[Coffin Ender]

This must be our most long-distance friendly ever. Can't imagine they are just going for one game. Possibly they will stay a couple of days down there and have a 'bonding' weekend.

 

[BlueGate Alan]

But aren't they playing Chatham on the Saturday?

[Cookie]

Weird one this.Two games in two days,one being miles away on a Sunday.

Nothing "official" from the club either despite it being mentioned on the Llanelli website.

[Coffin Ender]

I assume we will be sending two separate teams.

[BlueGate Alan]

Have we got enough players for that?
