Well that's good news about the pitch then - means we're not too out of pocket, though personally I'd have thought it would be more expensive to hire astro-turf than it is to hire grass, but there you go.

Next Thursday, 7pm, Vicky Park, not pre-season training yet so no pressure if you can't make it any night, not fighting for squad places yet. However I would like to do some gentle warm up and then stretches before we launch straight into a game as I want everyone stretchy and agile for next season.

Not hearing any "can't make those dates" comments from anyone, so consider them set. If anyone speaks to Paul, Neil or Beeny can you remind them I need their votes...
