Ticket News Pre-season friendlies (away) including trip to Ireland

[Shr1mperBlue]

I don’t think the opposition is the important bit here. It’s a few days away for bonding and some hard graft training camp. It’s final prep ahead of season kick off to fine tune our squad. It’s also a message to current players and potential targets to say ‘things are changing, and we won’t be limited to training in Garrons Park as a special treat’.

Next season these things will be arranged far in advance I’m sure.
Let’s go!!

Apparently low level team, we shouldn’t have anything to worry about (apparently) big football area of Dublin though

 

[NZamba Legend]

At least we’ll have enough time to recover before the start of the season.

Interesting that on the Official site the Club thank Podium Sports Management in arranging things. Licensed Agents, wonder if there might be Irish based players we might be having a look at during our stay, you never know.

Of course we've had some decent Irish players over the years , next year a little pre season tour Holland maybe?

I've heard that this was arranged by Kev.

He has contacts out there and has been displeased with boots and laces. It's a chance to use some decent training facilities

Sam Mc Crory comes to mind .

That's exactly what it was.

If all had gone well and the takeover had already gone through well before summer, they were going to explore a pre-season camp in sunnier climes. As time rolled on and there was no date on completion, that went out the window and all talk of going away during pre-season was dropped.

It only came back on the agenda when the players came back for the start of pre-season and Kev began to grow frustrated again with the facilities and environment at B&L, with no date for when the new training pitches could be used forthcoming.

Kev wanted to get them away from B&L. It all happened pretty quickly.

Is Gary Deegan (Deegs) going to give the squad a talk on how to "man up" yer thighs, wear shorts, crunch tackles, intimidate the opposition AND do so while sweet talking the ref with some special blarney?

Is the West Stand going to be open for the Gillingham game?

That's all good that he has managed to sort that, but unfortunately, they have to return and use Boots and Laces. There is no escaping that. This is what worries me for the season the most, the lack of facilities.

Is there no rough timeframe of when the new pitches are ready, when or if temporary buildings are being built?

Valid concerns but I feel confident that COSU will do what it can to put any delayed improvements across all areas of the football club as right as soon as possible. Have to say, how good positivity feels these days

Tickets still not on sale.

I get that season cards are priority but surely they need to go on sale.

Be great to have prices at £10 per adult or £5 for season cards and get a few thousand in.

How have you purchased in the past? Is it a case that you get an email asking you to renew or do you have to contact the ticket office? Is there anything in your online ticket basket. Perhaps those with an active car parking pass have it already within their basket ready to purchase again.
