[Little Miss Urchin]

Thank you Uncle.

 

I take it we have to make our own way there. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

Newcastle, eh? Not picking someone up are we...!? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

Finally, where on Earth is Erith & Belvedere? Sounds like a couple of aunties!

[Uncle Urchin]

actually TBA was Man U but now they've been so nasty to our David...I've told 'em to stick it......

 

we're playing the Dog and Duck instead... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Urchin fan]

Can anyone tell us what these two games in Newcastle are all about ?

[Urchino]

I thought AFC Wimbledon where playing the Dog and Duck <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Uncle Urchin]

nothing to dramatic...as you all probably know..John Gowans our full time physio is a 'geordie boy' and has a lot of connections up there...

 

the team are traveling up for the weekend...staying together in a hotel and practising together as well as playing two ....friendly friendlies...

 

the idea is to get the whole squad together and spend a full two days practising and playing....

 

sounds like a good idea to me.....

 

they wanted me to join in and show 'em the ropes but I'm morris dancing that weekend so had to turn 'em down..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Hi uncle, is the morris dancing weekend open to the general public to come and watch you perform or are you doing it in the confinds of your own home ?

It must be very important if it's keeping you away from the newcastle trip.

Just noticed that we are playing Millwall Res at home on Saturday 9th August, kick off 3 p.m. as well as being away to Erith & Belvedere, can someone please explane

[Nette]

24 Man first team squad perhaps <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Urchino]

That must be it ! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

 

Or One of those things on Star Trek :

[Urchin fan]

I see no one from the club has yet come up with an answer as to why we are playing two games on the 9th August, can someone please let me know!

[Urchino]

Guessing I think it will be reserves including some frindge first team against Erith & Belvedere and First Team against Millwall res. But thats a guess.

[Urchin fan]

so which one will you be watching.

[Urchino]

I can guarantee i will be at the Stadium !!

[Urchin fan]

Well at least there will be two of us.

Miss Urchin, Erith and Belvedere are based in Kent very near to Gravesend. As mentioned in a previous post they are crap!!

I wouldn't have minded taking in your friendly against Basildon on the 22nd July but unfortunately Canvey have a friendly against The Daggers that night which could be very entertaining. I will attempt to make a few visits to The Stadium next year and sample what delights Hornchurch FC can offer me. I know of one already <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Uncle Urchin]

the pre season agenda is designed to prepare the team for the forthcoming premier league campaign....not to provide entertainment.

 

that will come during the league programme itself....

 

come the real start of the season... I am sure we will all be pleased to get back down to the Stadium.
