I dont think anyone has "gone" and that includes
marvellous Marlon, who i think is injured still.

No Marlon, Freddie and Andy Marshall have left due to the expiry of contract.

Freddie is the only one who has found a club though.

Quote from: "Simon Page"
Just got off the phone with my nephew who played for Basingstoke. That's why we lost; they had a Villa fan in their side. I think his one ambition now he's played against us is to play for us, so if Martin needs a right back/centre back/holding midfield player, he only has to call. If he wants he can play him right back as he's more accustomed to centre back.

Apparently Shorey was excellent. And if it's any consolation, Basingstoke beat Southampton yesterday by the same score.


Shorey was certainly good second half, very attacking and set up some nice moves down the left hand side, resulting in most of our chances. 'Excellent' might be pushing it though I think....

He has? Must have missed that. Where's Wild Willy ended up?

Amusing to see people getting worried about this.

First match of the pre-season, it doesn't really mean anything if you get tonked by Solihull and District Paper Boys XI.

It's a pity you can't listen to the commentary on tonights game on the OS unless you're a signed up member of AVTV.
