Can’t disagree with any of the above.

Also, we avoid playing on the new pitch until we have to, then sign up for another four home games before Christmas!

Yes Mick, you have to start with four players other than the keeper who either played the last game or will start the next.

However the decision to take them off after 19 minutes makes a mockery of the ruling.

Very strange!

[Northumbiron]

Chadwick shouldn’t have been in that position. Better out wide where Eze was playing. Eze can’t tackle, Denton bailed him out on several occasions. Not sure where Dawson was playing either?

Don’t suppose there really was a formation after half an hour.

Sunderland lads’ first touch infinitely better than ours. We gave the ball away far too often, positively sloppy at times. Why does Beck try to chest the ball down only to lose it? Better off winning the headers.

Basically another pre season friendly. Nothing to see here, move along!

Well I learned a lot from that. I hope Butler did.

There was no price increase for season tickets , the price increase was for casuals like you NI.

Hope you mean “casuals” in the occasional attendance sense and not the tribal sense.

What! Even with a price increase?

Didn’t run that through spell check did they?

I tip that the gates will be shut due to problems with FanBase ticketing!

Or Watson!! 7 subs & no keeper?

Boyce would have stepped in if Campbell got injured. Belehouan on bench.

I expect Rory will feature against the Mackems on Tuesday.

I meant narrow defeat for Tamworth of course. LOL!

Great start to the season. Pass me that mint sauce!

Should please a few.

4-3-3 I’d say with Beestin DMF and Rowley and Ewing just in front. Whitehall Roberts and Howe up top.

4-3 scoreline anyone?

[Northumbiron]

You wanna move up here Fansy.

None of that in the wilds of the Borderlands. Though you may get pissed off with the sheep continually bleating.

[Northumbiron]

We’re one of the clubs suffering from having a Morecambe fixture early season.

By the end of the month we’ll be a game behind most clubs and if we don’t get points off Tamworth and Woking then we’re already playing catchup.

Need a strong start to the campaign.

The only statement I’m interested in the club making will be between 3:00 & 5:00 this afternoon!

If we finish where the bookies have us I’ll be happy.

Didn’t they have us down to finish second last year, with Chester top?

[Northumbiron]

Any of the CBs.

[Northumbiron]

We’re in a higher league. You’ll be watching a better standard of football!

[Northumbiron]

Indeed.

Would love to see some red-coated t**t ripped to death by two dozen foxes.

And I’m not talking Butlins here!

Certainly do remember Suggs! I think you could get just about anything there.

When I played for Gurnell St U11s our shirts were red with white collar and cuffs. Buttoned collar and buttoned cuffs mind you. Made by Bukta I think.

Double thickness cotton, reversible. So if there was a colour clash you turned your shirt inside out, making our “away shirt” white with red collar and cuffs.

And when they got wet!

Red!

No collar, no contrasting trim, no badge, no manufacturer’s logo, no sponsor’s logo, nowt but a white number on the back.

Classic!

[Northumbiron]

Can anyone remember when football kits were designed so you could tell the teams apart from the back of the stands on a grey December afternoon, rather than for the catwalk or to placate the casuals before they hit the bars of Benidorm?

Remember that classic 1969/70 season? That strip really fired up the imagination.

I refer you to MK’s post on the “Vapid pre-season” thread.

Rose has done virtually a full pre-season with Posh before leaving them for another club.

We’re at the end of pre-season. The coaching staff have had a chance to look at everyone and this time next week we’ll be up and running.

[Northumbiron]

I suspect Starbuck did not play at FB but wide right like last Saturday.

Like the launch video but will be honest not the most imaginative of designs for either strip.

Au contraire Rodney!

Too much use of the imagination methinks.
