The pre- pre-match thread!

[GIBBO]

How much is a pint in the groud? Which pubs will our fans going too?

Lynn fan coming in peace. We as fans are excited about getting back to watching some football back at The Walks.

What expectations do you guys have for the season? For us it’s all about survival at this level. It is all quite new to us. Of course we would like to stick it too one or two of the big boys in this League.

How will your fans react to PB if we start by turning you over? Half time team talk on the pitch time ?

Mid table. Stop the rot that has set in over the course of four long years.

Brown's still got plenty of ego about him, but he's been brought down a peg or two since the days of singing on the pitch or half time public team talks. This is his last chance in football management - his career nosedive since he left us has only been mirrored by our own descent. To an extent it is a marriage of convenience, but his previous era of largesse is a big reason we are where we are so while many are delighted he's back as a familiar face from better days, many are rightly very sceptical.

Kind of you to take the trouble, Hank.
At the 'end of the car park' is outside Tesco's space? I imagine there's a time limit and CCTV to make sure no one outstays their welcome in the supermarket spaces.

Have just made online follow-up - £1.50 for booking (I've done 13.30 - 17.30)

Ive just prebooked the station car park, £2.80 for a (13.00 - 19.00 slot)

 

[Mad Cyril]

I've just obtained a ticket for £500 and can't wait.

Although apparently its not guaranteed parking, just means you dont have to pay on arrival! doh

That's a discounted rate for Kings Lynn.

Our first National League game ever and probably one of the quietest pre-match threads in a long time.

Arnold
Hobson Coulson White
Demi Ralph
Dunne Agogo
Bridge
Murphy Dalby

Kings Lynn 1 - 3 Southend

Coulson, Murphy and Bridge the goalscorers

Thunderous noise and party atmosphere from the thousand on the terrace plus seated shrimpers and the start of a much needed reconnect between the fans and the squad on the pitch.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Despite PB having us set up as 3 5 2 ish against Norwich U 23s, in a system which worked, I believe he will revert to a 4 4 2 as we have a squad and subs that mean the team can be changed around without needing reconstruction for when the inevitable injuries and suspensions kick in.
Arnold
JD, White, Hobson, Ralph
Bridge, Fergie, Dunne, Agogo
Murphy, Dalby.

Subs of GK, Coulson, Philips, Eggers, Rush. Possibly Karbgo, Walsh or Gard, Kineli.

And of course there is Dennis to fit in as well!

I'll probably post a proper pre-match thread later tonight and will rebrand this one.

There will be loads of Clubs with which there has been little connection, if any, with us prior to this season.

There a couple of players who have played for both Danny Gay and Greig Shepherd - I can‘t think of any more other than Reg Davies who was their player manager back in 1968 for that cup tie.

Seems like Grieg has been a bit of a hero a while ago. One of many of our former players who joined the police!

Can anyone think of anyone else?

Norman Bleanch and Tony Battersby as well

Tony Battersby ! None too surprising ! I’ve done a ( not particularly !) quick count up and he’s played for (at least) 27 English clubs ,including Chelmsford and Grays,plus one in Finland.

 

[Medway Blue]

****, completely forgot it's only a 5-sub bench in this division. That'll reduce our options to change the game :(
