Due to play them on Weds , not been before, has anyone on here been before , whats the parking like , is it easy , in surrounding streets , or is it in the middle of nowhere?

Was due to go to the 'infamous' 5-1 away win under Parky , but missed it due to flu, my sons have never forgiven me , or stopped reminding me about it , we're going to stuff them right?

    plenty of residential streets close by that you should be able to park. Think me and the missus might go to this one

    Best to get there early for the parking, Used to be a council run car park near the ground which was next to a pub if I remember.
    Try finding a place on the Oundle road.

    Hi guys Posh fan here just to let you know there is plenty of parking around the ground but there are restrictions on streets around the ground be careful there is parking at fair meadows Oundle road a 2 min walk away just a bit further down Oundle road there is parking behind the Cherry Tree pub decent pint in there beer garden at the rear or next door to the fair meadows car park is Charters floating bar old Dutch bardge with a,great choice of real ales and a big beer garden

    Won't be too busy we don't get much of an attendance for friendlies do well to get 2000 so no need to turn up to early


    Good luck for the coming season hopefully meet you in the Championship next season

    Wasn't the Cherry Tree a real ale pub we visited last time we played there?

    I heard the lovely old "mini-Covered End" has been torn down, thus greatly reducing my inclination for a two hour drive. Great shame that.

    Nice place, ideal for parking, Palmerston over the road is good too, also good for parking is just to the right after crossing the bridge over the Nene towards city centre.

    Yes Cherry tree is a real ale pub as is the Palmerston biggest selection of real ale though is Charters barge moored on the river right hand side as you head out of town towards the ground
    Fair meadows is the car park your talking of

    The old away end has gone new stand being errected , away fans are now housed in the north stand side of pitch section closest to the old away end

    Won't be many there tonight less than 2? for all our pre season games thus far so no problem getting parked or served in the pubs

    Safe journey...

    They beat Brighton 2-1 last week.
  • They beat Brighton 2-1 last week.

    So that must mean Brighton are getting relegated this season. ;-)

    Not lost pre season beat Brighton on Saturday losing 0-1 at HT drew with Wolves 2-2

    Not played the same team for 90mins wholesale changes around HT but would expect us to maybe start giving what Fergie considers his starting team for the league a bit more time


    Gone back to our fast paced style after last season bloody awful slow slow football

    Two pacy widemen new sigings Taylor from Shrewsbury and McEvoy season lone from Spurs Bale look a like

    Danger men Assombalonga, Washington and big suprise of the pre season Vassell who has scored in all our pre season games thus far he's come back fitter and stronger and is giving Fergie a good selection problem

    We also signed Smith from Bristol Rovers their player of the year along with selection in L2 team of year not bad for a relegated side, fast right back who gets up and down

    Zakuani returned not sure about that, we also signed Oztumer from Dulwich came highly rated with several L1 and Championship clubs looking at him he's only had a few mins pre season and got injured but could be back tonight unknown quantity to me so I will reserve judgement

    New keeper who you probably know more about than me Alnwick who Fergie has already said is his number one
    Not sure what to expect this season as long as we go back to entertaining attacking football that will do for me last season was awful although we made the play offs that show how poor the league was losing 18 games and still getting a six finish says it all and we got dumped out the cup by Kidderminster at our own place


    As all fans are I am optimistic (well maybe Southampton fans aint) for the season



  • Thanks for the update Poshie, good luck for the season, go easy on us tonight!

    Jack Munns and Oztumer match up in midfield. Munns will tower over him.






    Edit...won't happen because Jack was at Lewes last night. Pity.

    Wiggins left mid?

    3-5-2?

    Interesting.

    That is interesting, I've always thought Wiggins would make a good left sided midfielder

    Still think there's something big missing from that squad. Weak bench too. Dissapointed cousins isn't starting too.

    When fit Wiggins was the most skilful player we had. Can knock it past a player and skin him or use quick feet and a trick. Could be a very interesting winger

    Alnwick in goal, hope he gets a good reception from any away Charlton fans.
