Pre-season

[bobcarolgees]

Who would you like to see us play? Be realistic though,Real Madrid and AC Milan might be a long shot...! Personally, at "home" Afc Telford, Afc Wimbledon or fc United and Bristol Rovers. Away, Bromsgrove Rovers, Slimbridge, Taunton and Shortwood

[Neil]

I think theres an away weekend somewhere. How about a game against Ciren and another away at FGR?

[darrenb]

Wonder if we will play Rochdale again? For local teams in the league any from Bristol Rovers, Bristol City, Swindon or Hereford would be great.

Not too bothered who we play in the leagues below - Slimbridge, Highworth, Chelt Saracens - all those games are just used as a run out and to give trialists a chance.

[yates jr]

anyone think we'll ave one with Ciren at home then away :biggrin::biggrin:

[Pablo]

Yeah I reckon something like Hereford United, Telford (because last years didn't go ahead) and Worcester. And away, Bromsgrove, Lydney Town and then someone to thrash at North Gloucestershire level.

[bully74uk]

Salisbury again would be good.

And maybe Boris could use his contacts to get a game against a Rovers XI ?

[Dr Wart Hoover]

I'd like to play against the Women (always missed out) and get that elusive third goal against the first X1 ... other than that, whatever Tim thinks is the best programme of warm-ups for the squad is what I'll agree with.

Home games are normally to make money; ie we are playing Bristol City. No point playing against Ciren. Hope you get a bigger team. Swindon maybe.

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

How about something with significance to last year's flooding. A tournament involving teams directly affected by flooding. Also, games against places affected by flooding, I'm sure they'd be more receptive to our requests eg Hull City, Atlantis, Worcester City and Hove Albion etc

Away at the seaside would be nice

[Neil]

Away at the seaside would be niceAren't you going there on your holibobs Rio?

[DCM]

We went to Dawlish a few years back - the drive down the motorway was a bit grim but it was a nice day out all the same (other than the fact we lost!).

[Neil]

We often see seaside friendlies announced without thinking of the traffic problems getting there. We even had one at Bristol Manor Farm a couple of years ago when several of the players got stuck in traffic with tailbacks from Thornbury to Gordano.

[magner]

didnt arsenal say they would help out with a friendly, we might be a bit strong for them but what a money spinner! ::::

[Clifty]

This has been mentioned hundreds of times and i am sure that it is being kept for the opening of the New ground?

[Philip Grace]

Will Arsenal remember by then?

[Matt]

Or will they have any players left?

[NI-Branch]

I thought we play football ? :biggrin:

I would really love to see the Reds opening our new ground, as long as they promise to play Stevie G, Carra and Fernando Torres.

That is something to look forward to, let's hope the announcement we are all waiting for is just around the corner and that the plan is going to help us progress up the divisions.

[Graham]

Is there any news on the pre-season freindlies?

[Pablo]

Is there any news on the pre-season freindlies?

Doesn't that normally come out in late June, this season has only just finished.

[NI-Branch]

They don't come out to Mid July normally (I think it was around the 19th last year)

[Adam]

I see we are playing Cinderford on the 14th July although not sure if it is home or away. Wilko benefit Match.
