Does anyone know how many days this will be for? When I looked on the club website it only talked about Tuesday onwards. Sorry in advance if I missed something.
Heard Airman being interviewed about it on Five Live this morning - said they were expecting around 100 people today, which sounds a very good turnout.
After we finished today Parky came down to thanks us and have a quick Q&A. As soon as finished i forgot most of what he said (believe me it says more about me than him) but the points i can remember are -
1. Keeper - We're going to sign a young keeper from non league. The keeper was at the training ground getting his medical completed and signing everything. He said that went for a young keeper because he said if they had signed an experienced one it would have taken money from his pot for other players. He said the idea is that the young keeper will sit on the bench and if Elliot gets injured we'll get someone on loan.
2. Signings - Still want 4, a keeper, wide player and 2 strikers. Bauza is on the back burner and they will re-look at him if other things don't got through. We're working hard to get people in but we might have to be patient.
3. Mambo - Really impressed in pre-season, was going to loan him to AFC Wimbledon but because he has played so well going to hang on to him for the time being.
There was more but i can't think at the moment. If i remember anymore i'll post it on here.
The Bauza thing is strange ......he's been here for a month, so they've obviously had a good look at him.
I've not seen him play myself, but everybody has reported that he brings guile, flair and a footballing brain to the table.
Good pedigree in Spain as a young player, and 3 years experience at Swansea in League One and the championship.
And apart from the Barnet friendly when all the team were below par, his performances have stood out in the friendlies.
Sounds just the player we need to unlock packed defences. Quality player for this level. So is it just terms or something else that has caused management not to snap him up.....?
I don't think he said it definitely isn't going to happen but only if other options don't pan out. Which i suppose is positive in a way because the targets must be better than Bauza.

How I'd interpret it.
I personally think Benson was Abbott's plan B and that won't pan out now.
Huge credit to the groundsmen and 100 volunteers for cleaning seat.. great jobs by the sound of it!! Saving the club a lot of money that may mean a lot, and making The Valley look its usual beautiful self. :)
[cite]Posted By: ChrisWhytesBaldhead[/cite]Yeah it looked great, although a little long. No excuses for miss-placed passes at the weekend.
Spoke to Paddy today about the grass, he said it will be cut every day this week and probably on the morning of the match aswell. Was also told that Parky takes a very keen interest in the surface and he was out inspecting the surface with Paddy for around 30 mins after he did his photo sessions with the fans
