Opening Day Ryman Prem Fixtures 08 / 09 Rumour

[canveyspur]

One that sticks out for me is away to Margate on 23rd August, bank holiday weekend then home for Ricky on the Monday. What could have been our biggest home gate Hornchurch is on a Tuesday, sad.

Off topic, but Matt, did you know that your random signature sometimes shows the attached slogan?

Great, we're at Staines on my birthday!

I remember it well... the pitch represented a pig's trough, we were playing in white.... and Paul William's kit was immaculate until he did a dive to the crowd coating his shorts in mud.

I'll book the coach...

25 August (H) Billericay

27 December (H) Dartford

11 April (H) Ashford Town (Mx)

13 April (A) Dartford

 

Well, I'm not unhappy with that. We've got Billericay early on and should get a massive crowd for that. We managed over 500 last year against Tilbury on that date.

I've got no complaints with Dartford after Christmas, or on Easter Monday.

I'm sure we could have been given a more local club for Easter Saturday, but three out of four ain't bad.

 

Hornchurch at home Tuesday 23 September and away Saturday 31 January. It seems logical to me to give clubs local derbies on Bank Holidays, and then on Saturdays, but what can I say? The fixtures are a lot more complicated than I can comprehend.

 

Hastings away is a Saturday in March and Dover is a Saturday in February, which is good.

 

Overall, I'm happy.

Hx on a Tuesday is a bit of a dissapointment and don't fancy going to Maidstone on a Tuesday night but other than that, it's not too bad.

[Ribbit]

Maidstone was bad enough in the daylight. I shudder to think what it'll be like a night. Ergh.

[YELLOW]

Exactly. That's going to be a leave work at 3pm job!!

[Ribbit]

It could be worse. We could've been going to Hastings on a Tuesday night. That's what I was dreading.

Didn't the coach get lost going to Maidstone? In the dark it will be impossible to find

[Ribbit]

Yeah, that was fun, almost got stuck in a col-de-sac.

Harrow away on a Tuesday night. Lovely.

[Ribbit]

I've just realised I've got my priorites a bit wrong. Horsham is the furthest we'll travel. We've got them on a Saturday in December. I bet we freeze our knackers off.

[Canvey Fan 1926]

Couldn't remember if I had the right game or not! Not a massive fan of their ground, at first I thought it was the big stadium as you go in through the gates but was a little disappointed when we went down the hill and saw what it was really like.

I think someone on another said it used to be Sittingbourne's ground, but they moved out. I'm not sure if Maidstone ever shared with them there though.

I'm not too fussed about the London fixtures. Presuming I'm not working that day, I'll probably get the tube up and spend the day in London before the game in the evening. I've done that a few times now.
