class of 76 Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 http://www.newport-fc.com/iow/ Seems a bit strange, day before we play Ajax. Probably a reserve team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 What do you mean "probably" a reserve team? The clue is in the name = Southampton XI which always means a mixture of fringe players and youth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the scud Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 Southampton XI will include 1st year scholars aswell, such as Jack Dovey as he has said to me (he's a good mate of mine) that he will be playing in pre - season against teams like AFC Totton so he may be included to play against Newport.

the scud Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 Yep, I suspect The Port will play their reserve team And sadly we will still lose by 3 or 4 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chivvy1664 Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 (edited) Trying to offer Islanders a reason to support us. Might gain new young fans. We havent got much to offer versus premier league clubs. In the eyes of an eight year old. Edited 14 June, 2009 by chivvy1664 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
class of 76 Posted 13 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 13 June, 2009 Trying to offer Islanders a reason to support us. Might gain new young fans. We havent got much to offer versus premier league clubs. In the eyes of an eight year. That's the point. It's a shame they couldn't include a few first team squad. Portsmouth played Newport in pre-season last year, took the game seriously, had a good crowd and won the 'hearts and minds' of quite a few local kids. Btw, they won 7-0 and Cranie got on the scoresheet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 Saints XI just means the whole squad is involved. You get first teamers, reserves and then youth. I think last season nearly all our friendlies where Saints XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
