Mate at school whose Dad is one of the owners of Welling has said that the charlton game is all but confirmed just waiting for dates to be arranged. Also Welling are playing the spanners and apparently Arsenal (probably youth team though!)
Just had it confirmed to me that we have turned down Cray Wanderers request for a friendly.In their 150th anniversary i think that is a pretty
poor show by Charlton.The reason given that they are going to play Bromley and didn't want to play there twice.I know Cray have had Jack Clark
& Lewis Perkins down there this year,and had hoped a friendly could be arranged.
Looks like they are trying to give the pitch a better chance of being in a fit state for the start of th season, and of course on less game means less damage. I suppose this celebrity sixes football match is delying work on the pitch.
At least we're playing against some decent opposition. Don't get me wrong, I like going to the smaller clubs in the summer, having a good laugh at Welling etc, but there's no real test, and losing to a non-league club, albeit in a friendly, can't do the players' confidence any good.

still better then losing to a good club!
I'll probs go to the AFC and Bromley games for the change of scenery. Haven't done Watford before, so will only do that depending on who our first few aways are

Its bad enough from August to May why increase the torture?
Agree with this. Unless we have a home friendly and it's someones testimonial then i won't bother either.
[cite]Posted By: Southendaddick[/cite]Watford away is a strange one, usually the better team plays away?
Yeah I thought it was a bit weird for the lower league team to visit a higher league one. Normally the bigger clubs visit the smaller clubs - just shows you Watford are only bigger in league status!!!!

You forgot a bucket load of Chavs
yep, shouldn't have been too hard to negotiate seeing as they were desperate to sign him.
