a not too distant never heard of non league team please. A brimscombe and thrupp type
Revive the games vs Fairford and Cirencester and also Calne, Chippenham and Witney type early pre season games. We always had about 8 to 10 games pre season with the first 6 or so being very local ones against very lower league very local opposition. |

We always played 5 or 6 local sides then did a couple further away near the seaside/abroad/Scottish and finished off with 2 or 3 higher league/foreign sides at the CG. |

Ungrateful bastard, we had a foreign team last August. Second biggest team in their country.

Gonna struggle with that one.... Used to enjoy going to Witney for pre season games back in the 80s and 90s, always lots of Pox fans there too. Unfortunately many old teams are going by to wall now. |

Hopefully Flynn will be able to get the players away somewhere for pre-season to help with the team bonding and fitness - maybe a Macari esc army camp

Always disappointed with how little we do with the Forces TBH. Get them down to Warminster/Tidworth for a pre season thrashing! Some very cheeky runs over the Plain to be done. |

I read somewhere that Flynn loves pre-season and he often arranges games and sets up training to ensure that the players are fatigued during pre-season matches.  |
