I didn’t think they would want to use the newly laid pitch before the opening league game.
Exactly. Makes sense to to ruin an expensive investment. Though I doubt it'll go down well with all, and that'll annoy Delnumpti. Was laughing that Eastleigh are expected to be next up |

 I’m pretty sure we used to play FGR pre-season before they got into the football league but may be wrong. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

That was the one, when he came out to warm up we figured it was him, ginger hair & lilywhite legs. He proceeded to score with both feet & a header & we thought “he will do for us”. Despite taking a while to score his first (which I think the keeper dropped into his own net), he hardly stopped scoring after that. |

I was at the FGR game too and thought we had something good on our hands as well. A truly great all round centre forward, very similar to Shearer in height and build, great in the air, shoot with both feet and could score long range goals too. Would love another like him to sign for us. |

Just trying to remember if we’ve ever played Gloucester City in a friendly match considering how local it is🤔 |
