Title: Decent pre-season Post by: Luci on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, 13:10:59 I thought Pompey hadn't been confirmed as definite yet?

I hate pre-season matches. Title: Decent pre-season Post by: STFC_Gazzza on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, 13:41:41 Bollocks I am in Ibiza then! arrghhh
Title: Decent pre-season Post by: stfctownenda on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, 14:28:51 Definitely a better work out for the players compared to recent years. Even the lesser teams this time are either conference or league 2 so should provide us with good tests.
Title: Decent pre-season Post by: Luci on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, 14:30:56 Not sure on the date of Aldershot but a quick look on FGW and a return fare is only £15. I just want to tick the ground off my list!
Title: Decent pre-season Post by: axs on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, 16:17:22 I want to go for a day out, should be a laugh.

Not sure when it is though and I'm not around until 20th July :?Title: Decent pre-season Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, 17:48:16 I remember playing Pompey a few seasons back....Teddy Sheringham turned out for them and provided good pre match ents by giving Rocking Robin a good kicking.
Turbo scored an absolute screamer....I think his only 1st team goal at teh CG. Title: Decent pre-season Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, 18:03:14 That game was 2-2 wasn't it Reg? Think we had a fair few there for that as well if i remember rightly. We'll be playing the FA Cup holders then no matter what. Probably won't bother with Muff or Cardiff at home but will go to Pompey. Don't care about Alder what ever they're called. I don't want to be reminded of league 2 again.

I also remember Brian Howard tackling somebody with his head and Steve Stone managing to get himself booked. That can be quite an achievement in a friendly Title: Decent pre-season Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, May 6, 2008, 18:07:41 Quote from: "Reg Smeeton" Quote from: "Iffy's Onion Bhaji" That game was 2-2 wasn't it Reg?

It might have been the game we deployed Migz as a centre half as well... Title: Decent pre-season Post by: Batch on Monday, May 12, 2008, 13:00:19 What happened to Aldershot?

Title: Decent pre-season Post by: reeves4england on Monday, May 12, 2008, 13:37:34 That's a great pre-season! And I only miss the Pompey game whilst I'm away! Superb
Shame the Aldershot fixture has disappeared though :| Title: Decent pre-season Post by: fatbury on Monday, May 12, 2008, 13:45:40 good number and level of matches ... Plymouth at home will be ideal prep ahead of new season
well done Mr Magic! Title: Decent pre-season Post by: suttonred on Monday, May 12, 2008, 15:03:29 Quote from: "STFC dave" didn't we play hampton and richmond last season too?

Title: Decent pre-season Post by: Bogus Dave on Monday, May 12, 2008, 17:02:18 i'd imagine it would be the same again. seems odd playing away at a non-local non-league team two seasons in a row, when theres no link (i can think of) between the two teams.

Title: Decent pre-season Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, May 12, 2008, 17:49:18 Ardiles will be gutted....
Going back to the Pompey friendly....was that the game where Tim Sherwood, minced around trying to kick people because he was that crap.....what an arsehole, someone should have given him a slap.

The shirt twirl was when he scored his 25th goal of the season in the 2002/03 season. The game which was after the egg chasing stuff was the 1-1 draw in the 2003/04 season. Although Parkin did score!

Title: Decent pre-season Post by: strooood on Monday, May 12, 2008, 22:52:30 shirt twirl 3-1, think heywood and turbo got the others.
1-1 rugby wc, parkin header from about 12 yards as the keeper challenged with him from deep gurney cross Title: Decent pre-season Post by: reeves4england on Monday, May 12, 2008, 22:53:35 If I remember correctly, the 1-1 draw was the game where Parkin nodded in a delightful cross-field ball from Gurney with the keeper charging out towards him. Superb goal.
