Tuesday 5th August 2008, kick off 7.45pm

 

Admission prices: Adults

[GlenW]

Lets hope with the reduced price we get a good crowd down.

Has to be a good idea,many fans as well as groundhoppers feel aggrieved to get ripped off by paying the same or even more than league games. Windsor being an example on saturday.

[Tom]

I think it would have been nice to see the Under 18s in a friendly before hand and paid entry to see 2 games.

[Chris]

SYCOB would probably not allow that with getting the pitch ready for the start of the season

Is the game still on, what with the rain not letting up at all today and if so what about parking?

[GlenW]

The ground has coped with worse but rain is forecast all evening.

[GarySTFC]

Of course it's on. No concerns.

[GlenW]

Nice design of programme and content especially for a friendly game where often you only get a team sheet if your lucky.

Is the basic layout and design going to be the same for the rest of the season ?

[Guest gate seven]

does anyone know the final score or the teams?

[Rebel_Glen]

Thanks Glen, glad you liked the look of the programme. Yes this will be the new format for this season, obviously with more pages but still priced at

[Martin]

Slough line up was:

 

Beames, Harper, Mcgonigle, Fenton, Pearson, Dickens, Pritchard, Riddell, Jordan, Platt, Gray

 

Subs: Jackson, Gumbs, Roberts and Attrell (all used) - possibly more but I missed some of the game.

[Matt]

and Brown.

[Guest Anonymous]

so what was the score

[Chris]

7-1 to them

[Matt]

They were good though. And of course pre-season games are meaningless

[Guest Reardon was God]

Lets hope that was their very best conference side, otherwise its going to be a long long season.

"Lets hope this was their very best conference side"

Unfortunatey for you their was only 2 players I would put in thw starting eleven for saturday's 1st game. Good lucj for the resy of your season

[Guest Mad Hatter SBFC]

Yes Im afraid I have to agree with Danny-Da-Bass it was very much a 2nd string side that played.

 

However good luck for the season.

There was a glaryingly obvious gap in quality between the two sides, which was quite alarming when one of their fans confirmed that it was essentially their reserve side, but to be fair we are three (four?) tiers below them in the pyramid and a similar percentage gap exists between most leagues right through to the Premier League!

 

personally I could see a huge improvement in Sloughs forward play from last season, and I think we will create, and hopefully put away, a lot of chances against sides of at our level...however the defense, especially on the right hand side looks a tad shaky to say the least.

 

Still, I think we shouldn't be too downhearted, as SB are a very good side (well their reserves are at least) and I am mildly optomistic that we will at least avoid a relegation battle this season.

Not sure which two players the Stevenage boys would put in the side but one of the players on show last night was Lee Boylan who has played for Canvey in the past. I think he scored five including four in nine minutes in the first half after Slough had taken the lead with an excellent strike by DJ.

 

In the final third Boro looked very strong and that was the area that featured their most recognisable players.
