While I for one am staggered that we didn’t get Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Man U or someone to come to our out of the way, end of the line town with recent episodes of pre season fan violence and one of the worst disciplinary records in the league....

Get real people. All lower league / non league teams want attractive pre season fixtures but think we are well down the list of teams the big boys want to play.


THAT Sheff Utd game I can`t disagree with it was nailed on for serious trouble and hopefully lesson learned.

Well that`s me told .


How dare you expect us to play someone as massive as Barnsley or Forest at home in a pre season friendly. Don't you realise how tiny a club we now are?

Until we see what sort of budget jolley looks to be getting its probably a bit early to be doom mongering but entirely understandable

The way we’re going mate, in 10 years time Cleethorpes and Gainsborough fans will be moaning about playing us  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

No real complaints from me. Seems to be a theme of building relationships with accessible clubs in terms of future loans for younger squad members.
Macho boot camps in the heat are not good practice. Playing on Cleethorpes dusty pitch last  year was an endurance test that Welsh and Fox failed miserably. It was clear that Koki, Collins and a few others had not let their levels collapse over May and June.
Also, please spare us endless videos of sweaty training sessions.

Scunny have got Leicester and West Brom @ home and including a training camp at La Manga in Spain.

Oh how the other half live eh.


Bet they haven't got a new portakabin though...

In all seriousness, pre-season is more about fitness, game time etc, not playing a good team and getting hammered 4-0.

Pre-season games should be kept to a minimum imo.

Injuries usually wipe out a few of the players to be able to contribute to the opening games of the seasons and, therefore, counter productive to a good start.


Plus, too many games means that players have run out of steam by the time the season starts.

Take your points and yes they are valid the whole point is to ready the team for the Season starting. However I stuck Forest up as an example they would bring 1500 fans and Donny,P`boro might but neither will attract extra home fans they don`t get people wanting to attend. I just think were being lazy as per usual sticking to our tried and tested format . On the hand maybe Town feel obliged to play Clee to give them a payday and in that case morally the Club have done a good deed but I am only interested in GTFC.


I seriously doubt they would even bring half that number, we are a bottom half of League Two team. We didn't get much more than 1,500 when we played them in the Cham,pionshiop (yes I know the away end was full).

Is this the first time we've played Scarborough since the debut of Abdul?
