Does anybody think that playing 5 friendlies is to much- considering we have to play hopefully over 30 games this year? is any other club playing 5?????

I think it opens our self up to injuries

I only do home games these days.

Which set of fans will be able to park themselves in the North stand?

Without going into detail, I don't think any of the players will involved in any more than 3 each. Some of those involved will not play first team at all this year.

The way i see it is, we want to hit the ground running and get some points on the board, get in the top 8, hang the rest of it.
I fully support this model. Plus gives us a few quid.

Anyone know what entrance fee,s will be at Fev?, I understand its cash on the gate, thanks.

£15 for adults I think I've read

I'm not disagreeing with it, I'm just saying that although we have 5 games, I can't think of any player possibly being involved in more than 3 so the risk of injuries is going to be similar to that of shorter, but more intense programme of games.

Pay on the gate at Fev is a massive joke.

Agreed i remember last year quiuing outside the ground just to get a ticket

I think that clubs like ours need to start the season well, whereas, some of the big boys, who know that they will be competing for the big prize at the end of the season, can afford to take a more measured approach and they build towards a big finish.
The risk fo Trinity would be leaving themselves a couple of wins short to make the top 8.
Therefore, it important for us to start the season quickly.
Also, as others have said, there may be 5 fixtures but, nobody will play more than 3 games and the real plus this season, is to see so many of our younger players getting some experience, which should help us with our junior development, something that is the best that its ever been.
If we can sneak a couple of early wins, when the likes of Huddersfield, Salford and Widnes are still finding their feet, that will do us just fine.

On past visits to PO road I've had to get a ticket from the ticket office then through the turnstiles and it was chaos, does anyone know if it's the same procedure or cash at the turnstile. The reason this was done was due to allegedly fiddling on cash paying turnstiles.

When you look at Salford injuries, the best thing we can get through this phase of preseason is no injuries and some tuning of the key plays and partnerships

For some reason Fev have chosen not to send tickets over to us so we can buy in advance from our shop. Also heard they keep 100% of the gate money.

I am now asking myself do I need to go through all the chaos at the ground on match day. If Fev can't be d to organise the entrance system, I may not bother going.

What's the point if they keep 100% of the profits
