How much each person total spend is a reasonable amount? Say we take 30 people?

The only positive for me doing a tour is player bonding as they'll be in each other's pockets for the 3-7 days however long they go for

Hope the club is able to announce the pre-season tour sooner rather than later. Would be good to have a trip to see Southend

Worked on refurb works at Truro hospital for six months that’s one long journey, nice place though with some excellent boozers, i reckon an over night stay or train.

Yeah, I live 10 mins drive away from Truro’s ground, good place for a weekend away, but away allocation was only about 500 for the big Torquay game at Easter. They need to increase the capacity for the National League and are starting works on that now. So hopefully that will increase the away allocation as well. At present, some of that area is flat standing in the corner. So poor viewing.

Why do they hate fans so much?

County Cricket releases its fixture list approximately four months in advance.

The NFL announces its fixture list four months in advance.

MLB announces its fixture list nine months in advance.

The NL waits until a month before the season to deign to tell fans when we will be travelling to Truro or Carlisle.

I get that 4 months isn’t going to be possible because participants aren’t confirmed until much later in football but there’s a bigger gap between the season ending and the fixtures being announced than there is between the fixtures being announced and the season starting. That’s insane.

Announcing games just a month in advance shows a complete disrespect towards fans who may want to attend games.

Lol. Brackley and Truro are both tiny grounds and in the middle of nowhere. Brackley - closest train station is Banbury and it’s over an hour away by bus. Truro, the ground is tiny and an hour and a half walk outside of town.

I need these 2 plus Boston and Halifax :)

Truro is right behind the Park and Ride to the city. Plenty of buses and taxis to get to the ground. Easy access from the A30, with last season parking allowed at the Park and Ride. I’ll try and update everyone later if things change for this season

Agreed I don't see why they can't announce the fixtures late June

Any reason why they couldn't have been done say this week? Is it just 'marketing' or something that says month before to build up to the season, generate excitement/interest or are there more fundamental reasons not to do fixture list 'early'

I'm not sure I know the EFL fixtures are out late June.The 26th I think so I don't see why we couldn't have the same in the national league

Agreed - since the play off semi finals were complete (21st May), they could have run two scenarios. Surely that’s not beyond them!
 
Non-League Paper are reporting that the National League Cup will continue. Leeds Utd beat Sutton in the final last year. I hope we're nowhere near that again.
