Have been told that the manager wants no pre-season foreign tour and just wants local matches with a training camp.
That will save me and the owners a few quid.

We need a good preseason of hard training and a more than adequate number of friendlies culminating in games against higher league opposition. Last season was a shambles and may have contributed toward our poor start.

What we need is a pre-season geared up to starting the season well for a change. Couldn’t give a rats ass if we went to Tenerife or Torbay as long as the squad is ready to hit the ground running.

For all the good that DC did, seasons under him often got off to poor starts. Last season we had hardly any friendlies and looked unprepared when the season started. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how GC approaches this.

Have we ever started a season flying? I can't remember many in all my years, first game beaten, then out the league cup before September, have we ever won the first 4 or 5 ?

It would be nice just to win the first game for a change! When was the last time we did that? 2011 I believe? I think since then we have only drawn one opening game and lost the rest!

Don’t know about 4 or 5 won but the last good start was, I think, under Atkins, 03/04 when we went to R/D unbeaten got a 0-0 and were in top 3 at the end of August. I can’t think of any other good start this millennium. We soon slipped back!😉 UTG!

Apparently he is looking for a week in the Sun training camp or possibly a visit to Ireland, nothing decided yet.

Apparently he is looking for a week in the Sun training camp or possibly a visit to Ireland, nothing decided yet. So it's either a local training camp, or a foreign tour to somewhere hot, or a trip to Ireland, or basically nobody has a clue?

Under Gerry Francis Mk2 we won the first 3 (or 4?) and then proceeded to dive bomb to the bottom of the league, only to stay up thanks to it being the last season where only 1 team went down to the Conference. Any season we've actually done well, we've started sh**e (06/07 and both promotion seasons under DC) so to be honest I think we ought to start every season badly 😉
