Been away.... a poser for you

[Graeme H]

Not posted for a while, but kept up to date and feel the change of manager and subsequent signings to be very encouraging so far. Like Geoff P I was a CK man and was disappointed to see him go, but life has to move on and as long as he is rightfully remembered for all the good times as well as one and a half bad seasons, I too will move on!!

 

Anyway, a poser for you all.

What is the significance of this group of players?

Aaron Barnett

Bill Edwards

Paul Egan

Pat Gradley

Mark Green

Moses Jjunju

John Keister

Charlie Mitten

Greg Oates

Colo Okikiolu

Easy. They have all been booked while playing against Erith and Belvedere on a Tuesday night.

l.o.l. How about they have all played at least ONE game for the "Gate". Well Egan has at least! Sorry Graeme,I AM looking for the REAL answer I can assure you!

[Graeme H]

No, it's not that Cookie.

I liked the first answer CE!!

They have all had back injuries whilst at Margate

[color:"blue"]Nearly - They all have sustained injuries at training, after returning from long term injures.

A clue - it is a question about the start of last season....

Players for our first pre-season friendly that were known to the Management ... Kola, Mitten & Egan newly signed before pre-season ... Moses & Aaron unattached before moving on ... Edwards, Gradley, Green, Keister & Oates retained from previous season. All other players in pre-season were trialists.
=============================
In contrast to this season where we are still over a month away from our first pre-season game & have a squad of 17 (incl.Brayley & Yiga)
Mitten Oates Protheroe Trott Deen Donovan Skinner
Gradley McKimm Jackson Abbott Standen Sesay
Pinnock Hockton

Sorry if I overcomplicated it.

When we started our first pre-season friendly (Tonbridge)
Aaron Barnett
Bill Edwards
Paul Egan
Pat Gradley
Mark Green
Moses Jjunju
John Keister
Charlie Mitten
Greg Oates
Kola Okikiolu
were the only players there that were not trialists.
Egan, Kola & Mitten were signed before that game.
Gradley, Green, Keister & Oates had been retained from the previous season.
Jjunju & Barnett played in the pre-season friendlies but didn't sign for us.
every one else who played in the friendlies were trialists.

They werent boxers then Geoff? I wont mention the other game! l.o.l.

[Cookie]

I'm more the wiser for that interpretation SB. (I was only teasing previously).

Is that the answer to the poser then?

[Graeme H]

Well done to the person above - it was the list of players on the back of the programme for the Maldon game.

Darren Watson was listed inside as well.

Think there might be a bit of a contrast this year.....

Showed also the situation CK had to deal with.
