But given we are on our uppers and so far behind Bournemouth and brentford with our spending potential we clearly need to do anything for money

I mean, it's only a short jump to us playing Dorking Wanderers for the YouTube hits
Well l'm hoping we fall even further from grace, so we can entice Roberto and the boys to a pre-season friendly at Horsham YMCA!

Once upon a time in a land far, far away… did BHA ever go to Sweden for pre-season?

As a more or less BHA-neutral I can’t recall if they did. What I do know is that during the 80’s a whole bunch of english first division clubs came over here in july/aug. You could just close your eyes and point on the map and go there watching them trash a lokal club 11-0, 8-1 or something. The mighty Superhoops was of course one of those clubs going to Sweden. I don’t know if Steve Foster with his headband was here though,just a bit curious.

The Avenue then Maloncho
When the ground is quiet
The fans almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well I ought to leave but the rain it never stops
And I've no particular place to go
Just when I think we’re winning
But we never managed to score
The ghosts of my life blow wilder than before
Just when I thought Europe couldn’t be topped
And De Zerbi was our King
The ghosts of my life blew wilder than the wind
Well I'm feeling nervous
Now I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there
Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes but leads nowhere
Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life blow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life blew wilder than the wind

Hopefully not a case of 'All Tomorrow's Departees'.

Excellent work.

I've booked a holiday in Blighty end of July to start of August. Fate dictates this is when my team will actually be in sodding Japan instead. Maybe I can wave out the window of the plane as we fly by each other.
Me too! Was just wondering if I should take my son to the Sunday game, then realised we'll be arriving in the UK that day.

It is also I imagine a welcome summer working holiday for the lads after spending the rest of the year training in ‘sunny’ Lancing.
Japanese summers are brutal, especially in Tokyo. They won't enjoy playing in the humidity here in late July.
