Mark B on the radio

[Wellsie]

Radio Kent have interviewed Mark for the radio. You'll be able to hear clips on the sports bulletins today and tomorrow morning and on the web at www.bbc.co.uk/kent.

 

Of course, the big interviews start on Gate Radio when we have some matches!

[BlueGate Alan]

14th November it is then Wellsie unless you can do one at Hastings!

[Wellsie]

Yes, I'll be going to Hastings. And if we can get a friendly this Saturday, I'll try and do that - well, definitely if it's at home.

[BlueGate Alan]

I hope so, because am sure the team needs some matches, even though there is a reserve game at Southwood Thursday night.

See www.margate-fc.com for a link to the report and the audio interview from BBC Radio Kent.

[Coffin Ender]

The intro on the BBC website should surely say promotion to Blue Square South in 18 months, not the Premier!

[freefred]

well that explains the "mercenaries" tag and the huge wage bill then. Just makes you wonder at the "ex-player" post a month or so ago if he was a local and was moaning about london players eing paid more than him. Sounds even more like sour grapes now.

[MargateFan]

It's always been an issue, getting players to travel this far. CK used to train nearer London, didn't he?

[freefred]

I heard a rumour he used to train at gravesend/ebbsfleet. Dont know how accurate that is, but I cant see Mark Butler looking at that as an option.

Yes they did train up there, I thought it was Maidstone. A lot of the players we had then lived in London and around that area, including CK so it made sense. When we played away we would pick up several players up at a service station, I think it was the Moat House on the A2.

[BlueGate Alan]

We still pick a few up now on the way to games, though some make their own way there.

[freefred]

wonder how well that will go down with the new boss. Doesn't look like he is gonna accept much in the way of excuses for players not training at the right place and time. Actually more importantly, wonder who we gonna get as a keeper in 2 weeks time lol. will the new boss make it 6 in 6 competitive games? In case you hadn't guessed I'm not counting the Folkstone friendly.

[Wellsie]

One of the things Mark is planning to look at is training and associated arrangements. For example, it may be that we have one session in the north of the county and one at HdP each week, but it's all to be discussed and decided yet.

At the end of CK's time training was at a sports centre in Rochester, just off the entrance to the A2
