    Seeing as how this regime approaches every game like a pre season friendly and results never matter I am all for getting them abandoned.
    Welling should be easy enough, as will be Bromley.

    I'm waiting for the official announcement from Sue Parkes.

    No worries, she's got it covered.

    16 quid for a friendly at Bromley?! Is that a fair price or am i just out of touch with non league prices

    Very steep. Just Bromley trying to cash in, or has Katrien asked for half the gate receipts in order to try and cover the costs of her team of bodyguards?

    Seeing as Meire asked Welling for money, it's not unreasonable to assume that she's done the same to Bromley.

    I heard that was why we haven't played Bromley for the last two seasons as BFC refused to play.

    They are also playing Palace and Millwall and charging the same for tickets so not exclusive to us.

    I suspect that the criticism of the two previous pre-seasons (described as a "shambles" by one senior player at the Shirt sponsors do) that they have gone back to basics and tried and tested games and training camps.

    Who was/is planning this remains unsure. Riga perhaps before he left although Chris Parkes would make the arrangements.

    £16 and not even netting, security guards, amnesty bins or a (repaired) sofa. What a rip-off.

    Would Keith Peacock be getting involved a bit (more) ? It must be all-hands-to-the-pump at the moment ....

    welling was 15 from memory but i heard rumours that we charged welling to send a team there, for welling its a bumper crowd and usually plenty of beer sold.

    In Katrien's eyes just another step closer to break even.

    Bromley website says we're sending a first team to Hayes Lane.

    We're leaving The Valley for a non-league ground share. This regime is even worse than I imagined.

    What's a 'pipe opener'? That phrase makes me feel a bit queasy.

    Guess thats why its been scheduled for a Tuesday night rather than Saturday afternoon in the hope that people who want to protest will stay away because of work commitments the next day (lol!)

    your "pipes" are your lungs, throat etc. A quick run/work out to open your "pipes".

    Remember my old dad saying that.
