Title: First game of the season
Post by: Mrs Warbouys on May 25, 2011, 10:19:10 PM
If we are away from home, can we designate it as an "invasion fixture" that gives everyone 6 weeks from the fixtures coming out to arrange transport.Id love the new look team to run out at eastwood or somthing roared on by a stupidly big following

Knowing our luck, we'll have to go to Gloucester or Histon - not an option for me on a working Saturday. But if it's somewhere "sensible" I'll be there.

There is when I usually start work at 6pm on Saturday ! I can stretch it to half seven at a pinch. Mind you, I managed Forest Green this year, so maybe it's a goer. Histon or an East Midlands club would be a problem though.

Have a nightmarish feeling it's gonna be Histon away - curse it and them!

Here here its only down the road from here  :D

I wouldnt mind betting we play one of either Histon or Southport having just been sent down with them...

A good idea by Regionlist to get wherever it is on mass...  I expect the oppositions finance dept would be pretty chuffed with a load of visiting fans spending there hard earned.........

Won't be Southport, since they're odds on to win the AGM Cup (and it's usually an evening game anyway). There's a number of precedents for clubs coming up entertaining clubs coming down on day 1, so I'd have a grumbling suspicion we could go to Halifax or Colwyn Bay (it'd be a cracking start on a nice day on the North Wales coast  ;)

North Wales and Nice day aren't two phrases I would link together  ;)

Don't they usually like to put a relegated team up against a promoted team?

On that logic, we'll get Colwyn Bay (Hopefully) and not Halifax (Who I think will be decent next year).

Colwyn Bay 8.49 from hale arrive 10.43 which i reckon if theyn are every hour gives the chance to play the get off at cuddington for an hour and abergele for an hour to practise speaking welsh ariv 12.43 fish and chip lunch and some cooling cider. i am looking forward to it already . come to think of it the 7.49 sounds better

Not too sure there'll be anywhere to drink at 9:22 though Pete!

realised the error of my ways . imagine getting off in abergele and realising then a whole hour to wait for the next train and no pub . i am sure if there was enough of us we coud organise a stop off in advance.
but well spotted a bit of a school boy error there

With colwyn bay being a bit out on a limb in the conference north i have a sneaky feeling we may end up going there in midweek...however i wouldnt rule out going there on the august bank holiday.I think with being away at the start of last term we may end up with a home game to start than a trip to vauxhall  on the first tuesday

I'll have to tender my apologies for whoever we play first match of the season.

I'll be on my holidays.

Just hope they sort out a Radio Robins commentary so I can tune in
