1, the new season tickets will be available to pick up before the start of the season, keep an eye on the website for an announcement when they arrive

2, as a general rule we will always play in red unless there is a clash with a home side when we are away from home

3, john coleman is ultimately responsible for the pre-season programme and we are delighted that we are now able to attract such strong sides from high level opposition. this also allows the management team to see how trialists, and indeed our own players perform against full time professionals. of course there is also a benefit in playing higher profile teams in that it brings in a little more gate money, which is very helpful to the club after two months of paying full time wages with no football income. there will be a number of other lower profile friendlies away from home before the start of the season, however i would suggest there is more confidence to be taken from a good performance against a championship side than there is in a series of wins over opposition from the lower leagues (or even another convincing win over the ultras!)
