Pre-season friendlies

[Pavagrotti]

Who would you like your team to have a pre-season friendly and why?

 

I'd like the town to have one with Braintree - As Lee Harding is a great friend of the Town and I enjoyed the trip to Long Melford last year I'd like to go and see all the good things he's doing at Braintree FC this year. OK - I'm nosy.

A team at the same level as we will be at but wont play would be a good idea to gauge whats needed.

Lower sides are beat easily and higher beat you easily,so a similar level will teach a lot more about the hopes and aspirations.

[Jim Cunneen]

Shortwood Unites and Slimbridge.

 

Both similar standard (Remember North Leigh?) and both down here!

Can we get this season over first?

[Southport - TOWNER]

If it has o be some one of the same level then Wigan Athletic

 

Would be great to play Orient, Barnet, Wealdstone or any other big club in norff london, but can;t think of any others!!

No - a lot of clubs have a pencil sketch of who they might play by now. We have already had approaches. Why can't the fans discuss it before it is a done deal?

[Southport - TOWNER]

Fans can discuss whatever they want.

 

Like " who put the ball in the Hullbridge net?"

 

Half of blooming Essex"!!

 

 

How about a tour of the Republic of Ireland?

if only we had some one over there to sort it out!!

I reckon a trip to see James then.

One of the most enjoyable friendlies I have seen was EFC against Arsenal a few years ago. Southbury Road was packed. It was a lovely summer's day and the scum fielded their first 11 in the first half (minus their World Cup players). We drew 0-0 and Steve Terry made a certain Mr Anelka look very ordinary (mind you Anelka is ordinary!). EFC should have won it in the last ten minutes when we had a one on one with their keeper. It was my stag night as well. All in all, a great day aprt from me ending up in the new river loop at 11.00pm!

A trip away to Hornchurch has got to be favourite, just to see the urchinettes.

 

Away to Real Mallorca? Tenerife?

 

 

[Ron Merlin]

How's about Maidstone United? They're up and running again and seem to be making progress with finding a ground.

[Beer Sponsor]

Decent weather and good beer are imperatives. If its by the seaside, all the better.

 

Oh, and a chance of winning one or two!

[Arkwright]

How about a game versus Brimsdown for a change.

[Southport - TOWNER]

Potters Bar would be good

 

[Beer Sponsor]

Is it by the sea then?

[Southport Jr.]

you cant get a tan in potters bar!!

[Arkwright]

How about a trip to Bognor then, that would bring back some very hazy memories for dome of us!!!!

[Ron Merlin]

Ilkeston?

 

 

(gets coat)

[Father Jack]

Colney Heath or Leverstock Green from the Spartan League. Beautiful, tree-lined settings - much better to go there in July than January! Failing that, Holmer Green or Hoddesdon from the same division.

It would be a lot safer for you personally to go to Real Mallorca or Tenerife. Believe me! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
