Pre-season Friendlies confirmed?

[Jam The Man]

Sorry if fixtures, but 2 confirmed pre-season dates according to the respective clubs (not our website of course!)

Sat 14th July Worthing
Tues 17th July Bognor Regis

 

[The Wookiee]

Braintree ?

 

[Mendoza]

And we have to play the massive fixtures of

Braintree
Billericay
Reading Reserves

 

[Kenhead]

Argus said that we are also playing Hastings and Billericay as part of the deals for Loft and Elder

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It is a shame we have our hands tied with games played at Withdean. I can't imagine many decent clubs are happy to play friendlies at their own home.

 

[gjh1971]

Thats handy. I live near Billericay and Braintree

 

[Easy 10]

Another July coming up against NoMarks United then. Why can't we ever get 2 or 3 games against decent opposition to get a proper workout ?

I suspect a tour of Essex is on the cards.

Throw in Dagenham, Grays and Colchester (again) and thats our pre season done

We are limited to games at home aren't we? I don't think any clubs in the top two leagues play home games, do they?

 

[surrey jim]

year after year we have the shittest pre season of any club,

then agin im sure Mourhinio isnt dieing to come to Withers for a kickabout one saturday

Fair point. But couldn't we get some kind of little tri-team tournament going though, somewhere like Crawley, or at a 4th division clubs ground, involving us, the hosts, and a Championship or smaller Premiership club ?

Just needs a bit of IMAGINATION. I'm sick of making do with run-outs against bloody pub teams.

 

[Marc]

Worthing it is then!

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Worthing and Bognor are 2 nice easy days out !

Shame Bognors on a tuesday, wont be any esquapades in the sea this year !

 

[Barrel of Fun]

In a way, it is good for Sussex football to visit the minnows. Certainly helps build on our relationships with a potential outlet for our youngsters to get experience, but I agree that a tournament would be great or decent opposition to assess triallists.

We have the Ipswich game - where do they play their reserve team if we lose the toss?

Why not?

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Why not?

no reason why not, could go and enjoy the beach in the day and onto the football in the evening

if we are gonna have pointless friendlies with the teams in our county, at least have a mini friendly competition league to make it a little bit more interesting playing them every summer.

I think it's more about fitness than being interesting

 

[Braders]

Worthing
Bognor
Billeraicy
Braintree
Hasting
Reading
