Yeah I tried the whole charity event thing before when we missed the first game of the season due to being in Blackpool and they couldn't give a toss. Something about charity not being a valid excuse unless it helps bring little orphan boys into the region.

Might be stronger to suggest that it's better to get games out of the way in case the weather turns bad and we have to postpone fixtures cos of frozen pitches and stuff.

Plus it might be a Berks & Bucks Cup week and if Berks Arms are still in it we're fucked anyway.

Turns out this Norwegian has reacted a little nervously to actually having to play a a game in goal so I've asked Wayne to contact his matey to see if he can do it if we do play on the 26th.

Smurfy, if he can come along it might be worth starting him against LMP but being ready to whip him off if things start going against us. Gives him a chance to play behind the back four and get used to people...
