June First match in Austria - SV Bad Aussee July 23rd time to be
announced. 80 miles from our base , but that's fine having stopped or
visited just about everywhere around that area on previous tours. Besides
I wont be doing the driving
26
June Still awaiting confirmation of the pre season games in Austria ,
but time's moving on , so our group have bitten the bullet and booked the
trip, well a good mate has actually..9 of us stopping in Zell am See
25
June Sky TV wasted no time in mucking Stoke's fixture around with
the announcement of the first set of live games. Saturday home games v
Charlton August 18th and Sheffield United 10 November have both been moved
from 3:00 to 5:20 kick offs.
22
June No surprises when Le Coq Sportif were named as the club's new kit
manufacturers..
Here's hoping they don't have us looking
like something out of KFC.
21
June Well we did it , we resigned Hull striker Jon Parkin, Parkin was on
loan for a brief spell last season, the fee £275,000. At least it's not the £1
million that was the rumour doing the rounds...time will tell if he lose
some weight and get himself fit.
20
June ST finally arrived ,despite being required to be
signed for it was posted through the door.. did Mr Postie just sign the receipt book himself, not impressed...
A further disappointment , following
the expiry of my 10 year Premier Membership the club have reverted back to
the old style season ticket books rather than a credit card style I've grown to favour
over the last 10 years... it has to be said a retro grade step for
one of the supposed Premier areas of the ground.
18
June ST still not arrived ,perhaps Mr Postie has been trying
to flog it in a pub in Liverpool.
16
June Season Tickets sent out 2 days ago , but no sign
of mine up here in Scouse land...
15
June Favourite matchday mode of transport is still the service train
early doors, book early for a decent price is the watchword these days ...
Cardiff sorted for £23
14 June The fixtures are out and
it's Cardiff away first match, the history on and off the pitch that
existed between the two clubs appears to have eased and with the policing much
improved at Ninian Park Cardiff offers a good day out by train.. care will
still be needed
12 June Pre-season tours
always come high on my agenda, though still awaiting details of this
seasons Austrian tour.
11 June First entry and we're off
on our journey , 9,750 miles for the 46 league games alone, add cup
games , friendlies and an odd reserve or youth team fixture or two along
the way and that figure's likely to reach 15,000 miles ... hopefully
journeys end will bring promotion.
10 June Revisted the
