ANOTHER one!?

as the resident worthing fan on this board, I shall say one word to this thread
FIXTURES!!
FIXTURES!!
An 'Albion XI', with another friendly the previous evening?
Does the club actually listen to the fans?
Surely organising this friendly is an example of listening to the fans. So, it may not be on a Saturaday and it almost certainly won't be the first team. But, the fans asked for a friendly at Worthing and a friendly at Worthing is what we got.
So, using your logic, a youth team would suffice, would it?
I'm not saying its perfect. However, surely this is better than nothing?
Obviously not.

Yes, and that's probably what you'll get. It's been obvious that Slade does not want to play the fixture; it has been inserted due to pressure from fans and probably a request from Worthing, he's hardly likely to take it seriously is it?
The attraction of the previous Worthing friendlies was that the fans could go en masse and see probably 15-16 first team players, who were likely to figure during the season, and get an idea of what to expect...
Tacking on a friendly at the last minute, with fringe players, just isn't the same IMHO

Last year we played quite a few consecutive games with different combinations of players (different strike partnerships, centre half pairings etc). Maybe it will be the same this year? What's the point of having potential first teamers sitting on the subs bench?

Better oppo means better pre season and therefore (hopefully) a better season. You got your friendly whatever team turns up you should be happy with it

Is this going to be the worst of both worlds, i.e. £12 to get in to see a bunch of kids and stiffs?

I agree. It's a kop out from the club on this one. I wish they had stuck to their guns and said that we won't have the friendly rather than doing this when clearly it will not be the first team squad playing.

Well as this is a "fixtures" thread I think Winkers comment on the original thread is worth another airing:

Last year Dixon was outshone by Worthing's strikers.

Maybe Winker meant Worthings starting 11...
