Tuesday 3rd August 7.45pm

Gutted about this date, I was really hoping for a Saturday fixture, then it would have been a great day or even weekend out for everyone. I'm on lates so don't finish until 9pm, already two people off so can't book it off.

Anyhow enough of my minging

Hope shit loads of you will be able to make it

Agagaga, sounds amazing hows parking around the ground mate?

Totally crap, parking for about 50-60 cars. It's a school playing field and car park

Hmmm, Train station in poole? near the ground?

Imagine if it was inside the ground. That would be ace.

That's the same week the season starts, so I'd imagine it'll be a team of youngsters and trialists.

 I'll be there for sure, and i'm certain between now and then you can arrange things so you'll be there too. It'd be unthinkable for you to miss this one!

Yep train station ain't far 10-15 mins

If it's a team of youngsters and trialists then what's the frigging point, taking the piss as far as I'm concerned

Austin would play, surely? Should be captain for the game or something. Doubt Poole care much about the rest of our first team.

Well I do, but I'm probably the only one, in fact I am the only one

yeh. considering the Charlie Austin stroke of luck, we owe them a near strength team to swell their coffers. Hope all Dorset based Reds will be there, and plenty more from Wiltshire besides.

I will be, summer holiday a cheeky little trip to poole? LOVE IT :D

Be surprised if it is not a mixture of 1st team, reserve and youth I would be shocked if Charlie did not play some part in the game, he would probably want to play

Should be at that game, my sis in law lives about 200 yards from the ground.

Is Poole near my house? I always see signs for it? Or is that a different Poole

That depends, do you live near Poole?

That's the swimming poole.  :girlgiggle:

I live near Calne?

Only if it says Poole 65 Miles on it.

Just the one home game?!

The signs for Poole from Chippenham are indeed for the Poole we are discussing. But it's a good 90 minute drive, or much longer if the traffic is bad.

Will agree with that, got up very late for the Brentford and Charlton games, hardly time for a beer. Should be fine if you leave early enough tho 2-3pm and time for a beer or two on the quay before hand

Cant wait for this!!

Booked a hotel and everything!

Tongue firmly in cheek tans?

I know it's a shit date, and if I was you I wouldn't be arsed either

I am taking the piss dont worry

too far to go for me anyway

I know, and I'm not trying too hard to hide my disappointment

Oh and I've been here ages and no one has called me a  :cunt: yet

Only the one home friendly because the pitch won't be ready early enough for any more.

Given how we've reaped such benefits from securing Austin's signature, and Poole Town nurtured that talent, I hope Swindon fans might be persuaded to help an impoverished club. Had we won at Wembley, Poole were set for a pay day that would've set them up for the coming few seasons. Not to be.

We're not that impoverished tbf(I don't know whose side I'm on now) It's a well run club with no debts who play a decent brand of footie, currently on the look out for a new ground, but think that is hopefully nearly sorted. Maybe Swindon could be persuaded to be the guinea pigs when it's finally completed?

Is there a similiar case of a town as large as Poole playing this far down the footballing pyrmaid. They got potential for sure, especially with all them multi-millionaires in Sandbanks.

Are San and Miguel around yours tonight STFC in Bournemouth?

Yep they did visit, but have gone now, I believe they will be back again tonight

Getting tipsy whilst watching Britain's Got Talent

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yep, it's as testicle gratingly painful viewing as I expected it to be. Thank goodness my Tesco Home Brand cider is numbing the pain.

But you're still watching it?

Yep, seeing it through to the bitter end  :suicide: Then to catch up with a programme about the D Day landings I missed earlier. The kind of stuff Saturday nights were made for  :no:
