[ Fri 27th July ] First Team v Peterborough Utd XI

[BartonRaz]

The official attendance was actually 441, which was really impressive - as was the performance from the lads, who could easily have scored four or five in the first half, all of which would have been cracking goals.

Was that the attendance that they read out? :oops:

.......Nicky Ajose.

Apparently Posh paid £300k when they signed him from ManUre. Only made one appearance last season due to long term injury. Looked lively in the first half.

barry fry was there too

Heard to remark at half-time 'like the look of your centre forward'. ;)

Piggers turned himaway from the car park and he had to park up the road...........fair play to him, he paid to get in 8-)

I thought tonight was a great success - 441 for a friendly on a Friday night during the holiday season, and on the same night as the Olympic Opening Event, is a terrific result, I'd said before the game that I'd have been pleased with 250 or so !!

Great performance from the lads too, all in all a cracking night - even Ralph had a smile on his face (he smiles inside mostly ;) ).

I'm going to bed happy tonight !!!

You correctly repeated what was read out - but that was corrected later.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that starting XI as the one that takes the field in our first senior game - it looked impressive, and there already seemed to be some decent partnerships forming.

Starms has done wonders already, he has a plan and the players have bought into it.

Was well impressed with tonights display (what i saw of it)...........does anyone want to volunteer to be a steward? 8-)

[Pigman]

I'll do it...............oh ! ;)
