Dartford v CAFC XI at Princes Park tonight

RedPanda

I couldn't find a thread on this, sink if there is one lurking in the depths somewhere.

This evening we host a Charlton XI side here at Princes Park, 7:45pm KO. This is a normal pay on the gate game and admission prices are as follows:-

Adults £12
Concessions £6
Juniors £2

Quite expensive, anyone know if Dartford are putting out a full team? From us I'd expect a very youthful looking lineup with the odd trialist..?

£12 for a Charlton XI the day before pay day, no thanks !

Interesting to see which strikers feature with Smith at AFC, probably Church and Pigott I'd imagine.

It's a tough thread to find but its the one that says ' Dartford tonight '

From the article on the OS :http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/20130730-dartford-clash-on-tuesday-evening-954153.aspx?

It says 'Charlton may continue to field a selection of trialists for the friendly' , so I expect that Church amongst others will definitely be playing.

It's a 1st team fixture for Dartford
Expect charlton's "strikers" to be playing for possible places in future SCP's squad

It might be worth going to take a look at our potential new players or a few beers if it gets boring.

I'm going, but looking at those prices I'm bloody relieved that the rest of my family have poo-pooed it.

What is the team?

Looks like there is a trialist keeper warming up. No idea who he is. It isn't Phillips.

Are Balde, Henry-Francis and Yeboah all part of the youth set up?

Paddy Powell

Marcel Henry-Francis = Young striker. London born, released by Birmingham. One for the U21's.

No must all be trialists, as are Munns and Paxman.

He's probably busy putting pen to paper right now....... ; )

Yeboah is ex-Lyon but was on trial at Cheltenham 3 years ago.

He was at the training ground today being put through his paces. Must have done over an hour of fitness work, I was getting tired looking at him.

I'd rather he was busy trying to get fit and putting the ball in the back of the net a few times first!

golfaddick

scored a few cracking goals for Leeds a few seasons back.......

Balde is a striker from Portugal.

Interestingly, it looked like Jon Fortune was coaching the back four during the warm up.

On Twitter a bloke on the pitch spoke to him and Jon said he had retired and started coaching at Charlton.
