Hmmm an away at Hastings at the end of July. Could be time for a Beano!

[mikefleet]

no gillingham

[Jimmy]

Why are you suprised about that?

 

It'd be like Russia playing Chechnya or Iraq v USA.

 

Surely some of your exclusive sources could explain to you why we aren't playing them.

[mikefleet]

you keep going on about sources why?

[Jimmy]

It amuses me.

 

You claim to have exclusive sources which transpire (means turn out) to be widely available articles from local newspapers.

Blimey they are crowd pulling fixtures aren't they................... NOT !

[Jimmy]

Don't turn up then.

Stand outside moaning.

I imagine there will be some more fixtures announced later. I deduced this from some things that Dave said such as "so far" and "I'll post others"

Colchester = division 1
Charlton = premiership

Who exactly were you expecting at stonebridge road, Real Madrid?

[Robbo]

Charlton XI? Does that mean it's going to be a reserve team? Hope not.

Or in the Plough, perhaps. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The 'replay' of the FA Cup First Round match from 1995/1996 with Colchester will be nice.

My sources, which I suspect are slightly better informed than Mikefleet's, tell me that Charlton supplying a team to play us is part of the deal that allows their ladies team to play at Stonebridge Road.
However Robbo ask yourself this, if you were in Alan Curbishley's shoes would you prepare for a premiership season by taking your first team to Gravesend & Northfleet?

[Robbo]

Well considering it's about a week or two before the actual premiership season will start, I'd expect Curbo to only play a few first team players. Maybe the likes of Jason Euell <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

List so far doesn't look too bad, lets hope that when the rest are announced there are some more home fixtures.
