Old news but just in case you missed it....

There's a certain player in the released list who I know Mr tREE will be very excited about

Beware Mr Shilts, may be a cheap alternative if Carson is sold!!!!!

Re-sign Fenwick, Austin and 55 year old Monkhouse and the Vic will be full every week. I hope you're reading Mr Harrison

That's 3rd time he has been released in 3 seasons from 3 different clubs isn't it?

I suppose it is.....got into trouble at York though didn't he...rascist remarks wasn't it?

That and sh*t goalkeeping, think he dropped a couple of clangers, and think had a run in with fans after one game as well. Watched the York v Macc FA Trophy final, and I reckon he should of saved the first goal. He looked poor in his final season for us, but was very good for 2 or 3 seasons.

Interesting to see that Macclesfield have already announced six decent pre-season matches.................

Some clubs had theirs sorted before end of season just gone. I know things were up in the air at HUFC , but if they don't get a move on ours will look something like this :

Billingham Town - Away
Stag & Monkey Over 40's - Away
TNS - Home
Darlington 1883 Reserves - Away
Northallerton Town - Away
Mansfield Town - Home

I'm not going again until we announce pre season friendlies earlier.

I can picture the scene.

Harrison to Stag & Monkey manager - " we only have 10 players , can we borrow one of yours ?"

Its a reasonable moan I think. Its like signing players, you leave it late and you get what's left, the dregs. A well structured pre-season schedule is crucial to a successful season imo.

I would of thought it would of been one of first things Harrison wanted organising

I don't think it matters much who you play in pre season, it's fitness and miles in the legs, I remember when we had a good team us going to Holland and playing two games and winning both 12-0 against pub teams then us having a good season. Obviously a lot is going on behind the scenes that takes the lead over summer kicksabouts.

I disagree PJ. The season you allude to, we did beat poor dutch teams 12-0, but the friendlies after that were generallly competitive and well structured, we were undefeated in the last 3 , a draw v The Mags and 2 wins at home to Barnsley and away at Scarborough. The opposition , not too difficult, not too easy, gradually getting harder as you go on, and the timing of friendlies are very important imo. If that wasn't the case , why do other clubs arrange theirs before us and usually play better opponents?

But yes , this season , they can be excused for a poor pre season programme, due to off the field problems, but we may suffer for it

Poor Flinders. And to think he was 'Championship class'

Didn't realise he is only 30, quite a fall from grace, as a keeper should be at his peak, wonder if he is carrying an injury. Unusual decline. Sure we would have him back, if he is prepared to play for 400 quid a week

It's no decline, he was just shite all along.
