[Pamplemousse]

 

Games to be played weekend of 8th August so will be our first competitive game of the season. There's a fair few I've not been to before so hopefully one of those away, or of course our near neighbours...

Exeter away - please.

Leyton Orient always a good away day and easy to get to.

Probably easier to get to than Colchester.

We’ve got one priority this season- get promoted. Everything we do has to be geared towards finishing in the top two and removing any distractions. I would completely fuck off the cup- not only because the EFL are a bunch of wankers, but it keeps the first‑team fresh.

Our FA cup run last year was great, but those two fixtures either side of the Man City game hampered us and it was one of the reasons we didn’t go up automatically. If we go out early this time, the players will probably welcome the extra rest, especially after how brutal the final three months were with the fixture pile‑up.

I wouldn’t mind Tonda picking a team for fitness reasons and adding some nippers in for experience. But the focus has to be the league.

My  little sister was born there in 1955. And my mother took three driving tests there before giving up driving. 

My dad worked for the railways so we often went there or through there.
