Gavin - Thanks for letting us know, they asked us to help pave the way in April when interviewing 'the great one' live on air as a pilot for the show and he must have made all the right noises. I gather they are sending a broadcasting unit to the Copthall Stadium for our first home game of the season so if it happens to be against Haringey Borough or Sport London e Benfica it will add to the mystique particularly as both games are all ticket affairs.

Thanks for the info. Interesting read by the way.

[GRS67]

No problem I am sure that they would be interested in the Sporting club Benfica playing in the SSML, its a good story of how you have risen up the leagues and of course its unusual as you use the name Benfica. Why not send them your club history to get more publictiy for yourselves!

[eagles1981]

It's gone! I've sent it! No one has really done the full history for the club. So it won't be half as interesting as yours!

[Rhodes]

Why not post it on here so we can all have a look.

There is a thread on the another Forum on this topic that is further advanced than ours, I have already ordered tickets from the BBC for the interesting sounding event on 4 August:

I was offered tickets, but Edgware are playing Grays Atheltic who are sending thier 1st team, so I would not be able to make it in time. Shame, but as always Edgware comes first

[Rhodes]

Gavin - You should have accepted the ticket and sold it, you would have made a killing.

[GRS67]

Rhodes...the tickets are FREE, and I doubt VERY much if anyone would have brought it, besides I would have just given them away for free, rather then putting them on ebay LOL

[Rhodes]

Gavin - We were only allocated two tickets when we asked for more, I would have certainly given you a tenner for one and I think you will find that they are like gold dust on the night.

[HTFCew]

I imagine there will be lots of Enfield Town & Cambridge supporters there. Most other clubs will have a PSF, so their supporters will find it very tricky to get there for 5pm. Don't KTFC have a PSF on that day?

[Rhodes]

Not yet we don't but our pre-season programme is going to be kept low key this season compared to last when the games with you and Ruislip Manor are still being talked about almost a year later. I may not even be attending the games arranged so far at Eton Manor and Biggleswade United.

[HTFCew]

We made that mistake last year - only had 3 PSFs, and only one of those was against a higher placed team. It just wasn't enough to get the players match fit and we paid the price by getting knocked out of the cup in the 1st round. This year we have 6 - most against higher teams, plus the HCC match.

[Rhodes]

Well we certainly gave you a good run out didn't we and the fright of your lives.

TUESDAY 15 AUGUST 2006
PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY
HERTFORD TOWN 2 KENTISH TOWN 1

This game was a last minute replacement for the cancelled friendly with Wembley. With Halil Akil, Pablo Ardiles, Kevin Cooper, and Adrian Robinson all unavailable for next Saturday's FA Cup game with Stotfold, they were left out of tonight's game. This allowed other players to stake a claim for places on Saturday.
Team (First Half): 1. Mark Virgo; 2. Ashley McAloon, 3. Tom Neill, 4. Ryan Wade (Capt), 5. Matt Watts, 6. Jamie Nicholson, 7. Leo Turner, 8. Scott Neilson, 9. Paul Dodds, 10. Ryan Redford, 11. Lee Roberts.
(Second Half): 1. James Sturgeon, 2. Nicky Marsh, 3. Mark Teasdale, 4. Ryan Wade, 5. Shaun Toop, 6. Jamie Nicholson, 7. Alex Scriven, 8. Kevin Ashwood, 9. Paul Dodds, 10. Mark Draper, 11. Lee Roberts.

Hertford opened very brightly, with Kentish Town looking totally bewildered by the pace of the Blues' attack. On only 3 minutes Paul Dodds was hacked down in the box, and the referee had no hesitation in pointing to the spot. RYAN REDFORD converted with ease to put the home side 1-0 to the good. Hertford could have doubled their tally two minutes later but Reford's cross was plucked out of the air by the visitors' 'keeper. On 8 minutes it was 2-0 though as a good ball from centre midfielder Scott Neilson found Lee Roberts out left and he cut into the box before chipping the ball into the net.
Hertford should have gone 3 up on 12 minutes when another fine build up with Lee Roberts and Ryan Redford led to the latter poking the ball just wide. Redford then missed an easy chance when he ballooned the ball high over the bar, as Kentish Town found it impossible to get out of their own half. When they did attack, they immediately pulled a goal back. Their centre forward, on the edge of the box with his back to goal, hooked a volley over his head and past a startled Mark Virgo for 2-1. Unsighted by his defenders, the Hertford 'keeper could only watch helplessly as the ball looped high over him and into the far top corner.
Geed up by this wonder strike, Kentish Town got more into the game. They conceded a whole string of free kicks to stem the flow of Hertford attacks, and several players were booked as the referee gave up on trying to be generous in a friendly.One of Scott Neilson's precise free kicks had to be tipped over acrobatically by the Kentish Town 'keeper but the game began to degenerate as bad feeling crept into the proceedings. Hertford's only further efforts worthy of note in the half were Ashley McAloon's 32nd minute effort, and a Paul Dodds glancing header well saved by the 'keeper.
Kentish Town's only moment of threat saw Mark Virgo tip the ball over the bar for a corner.

Half Time: Hertford Town 2 Kentish Town 1

Manager Gary Conner made six changes for the second half, leaving no-one on the pitch who had started the Hemel game on Saturday. Most of Hertford's threat came down the right through Alex Scriven, who won a number of corners with his crosses from out wide. Hertford could not capitalise however, Kentish Town offered little threat to the experimental Hertford defence, and although Hertford re-introduced several first half players, they were unable to add to their tally. The game petered out in very disappointing fashion, leaving the few home supporters who witnessed it wondering what sort of side would take the field against Stotfold on Saturday.

Final score: Hertford Town 2 Kentish Town 1
