Pre-season

[HoofGrantBrown]

Is Scully on his way? There is a rumour doing the rounds involving a certain club.

Ohh hope not.
We'll hardly have anyone left.

 

[nlondonimp]

Doesn’t seem to be Poole, Scully, Walsh, Roughan or Zac.

We know why with Zac

Roughan was down as with the squad yesterday… yet he didn’t play today. Another with a knock in training?

 

[Impala]

Scully was definitely on the very first tweets from the EPC, but no news since?

 

[Impish]

Are the squad still all away at Bisham Abbey? We are down to be playing a Notts Forest XI lunchtime tomorrow, or has that fallen foul to the usual Forest presedence?

 

[Implode]

No mention of a match against us on Forest website.

Reading their match report for the Alfreton game, it just says next match away at Port Vale on Sat. Johnson scrored for them by the way. Our friendly list does say Forest XI on the fixtures so maybe it’s their U23 side or something.

 

[Impala]

Sense of deja vu with Forest not advertising a presumably U23 game at all.

 

[Luke Imp]

Always been a Forest XI hasn't it?

 

[Impish]

Yep, that was on the original listing, usually is a Forest XI as far as I am aware when we play them pre season (not that often!).

And as they say, no news is bad news.

Game on, at Bisham Abbey perhaps?

The game at Boston is now sold out. Reduced covid capacity still, but should make an excellent atmosphere for what is their first match with supporters present.

How many have Boston sold?
And well done them on selling all that can be sold.

Was looking at their website. Didn’t give a figure but indicated that more home tickets could be released once the seating arrangements had been sorted with those attending as groups. Think our allocation was 295. Still only three sides too and of course no floodlights.

 

[Impala]

Yes, did say 'initial allocation' that suggested more might be released. I guess C19 restrictions and getting used to spectators in their new ground will mean they won't push the limits too far.

Floodlights are back up.

 

[Clive Ford is back]

Doesn’t seem to be Poole, Scully, Walsh, Roughan or Zac.

We know why with Zac

Poole will be out on loan to League 2. Walsh seems to play one in four, Zacs gone, Roughan, for whatever reason, will never appear again, Scully's disappearance is another cause for considerable concern.

Stay positive, Clive!

 

[Clive Ford is back]

Stay positive, Clive!

Will do Notty, I forgot, Bridcutt plays one in five, for 70 minutes.
