Imagine that there will be a reserve / kids team playing Leamington as usual

Doubt it. Leamington are playing Shrewsbury s first team and generally stronger opposition than essentially our under 18s

 

[Joy Division]

The U21's will be away at Alvechurch for a friendly on 2nd August

It’s a right shit hole mate, portaloos and shit view if your standing uncovered too. I’ll still go

I still have nightmares about that game the first season back in League One after being promoted.

This was under Robins. We were 3-0 down within 20mins after a decent start and then it absolutely pissed it down...we were in the uncovered part and went to the pub on around 75 mins.

Slade not Robins.

It was September 2018. How could it have been Slade?

Just looked it was slades first game Boxing Day 2016 4-1.

He was playing upto the crowd, as we got battered, useless twat. We left just as they got the penalty for the 4th?

I was there too. For some reason Slade thought it was a good idea to play Gael Bigiramana as a right winger that day.

I asked him about that decision and he said "Its Chrissssmasssss"

Grim, grim day that was (amongst many that season) I remember there were a few people waiting for the team bus after the game to lambast the players, Lewis Page on loan from WHU at the time got the brunt of it as he just laughed - As bad as Slade was, that was his first game and I don't think he quite estimated what a mess he was walking in too

The Sept 2018 one it never stopped raining all day and I was in the uncovered bit, we were gonna fuck off at half time but naturally we scored just before the whistle to make it 3-1 and we ended up staying for the whole match - Dujon Sterling dropped one of the worst performances I have ever seen that day but was very good for us after that

Yes that September game, I don’t think I’ve ever been so wet.
My lads first away game too, what a baptism for him. He did ask if it gets better following Cov and I just said I’m don’t know mate atm!!
Sad times!!
