These pre-season fixtures are really firing my enthusiasm for the new season. :D

Another Home game wouldn't go amiss:rolleyes:

Sorry, not over the last 30 yet. :(

Re: pre season games more than burnley
 

Yep nothing like going into a new League Season on the back of few big scalps. I can see Wolves will be quailing if we get a few results against that lot.

Re: pre season games more than burnley
 

the official line on home games was that we were trying not to arrange home matches in order to allow the pitch as much time to recover as possible. And let's face it the crowds last season did not really cover matchday expenses I wouldn't imagine.

But Rob was on 2BR yesterday saying that they are still trying to secure some home matches - maybe they don't wanna come?

Re: pre season games more than burnley
 

Did he say owt else, Macca? About the 1000 extra seats we need to ensure our league status, for example?

Re: pre season games more than burnley
 

...... errm ....

Re: pre season games more than burnley
 

So I'll take that as a "no". I hope we aren't going to go through the experience of quietly watching our league status slip away, due to events off the field. I've done it once and I don't think I could handle it again!

:)All we can do is wait and see as i've said on other threads once the club has everthing in place a new stand will be built...... I notice we haven't got a game against clitheroe fc yet would be nice if we had!!!!!!!!!:)

Re: pre season games more than burnley
 

Quite agree...with all the Clitheroe/Ribble Valley Reds we seem to have, it could be quite a match! :)

Re: pre season games more than burnley
 

Perhaps they could take over the trophy match that we used to play Great Harwood Town for!

Re: pre season games more than burnley
 

Thats good news. Darwen FC is a great little club - with a good clubhouse - and nice ground for step 7. Lets hope they get a good crowd next Tuesday.

Wyn!.
Doesn't this seem to imply that 'The Crossbar King', myself, and a few old Clitheroe 'have-beens' would have to face the full might of t'Stanley (John Miles included ).?:)
Could possibly be a better proposition than a trip to 'The Anchor' though !.:D.

Re: pre season games more than burnley
 

:eek: whats with the has-beens;)
