Title: Stevenage vs Fulham XI (Sunday)
Post by: leonffc on July 13, 2011, 07:49:53 PM
I know that it will be the development squad and U18's etc but is anyone bothering?
I might as i'm near Stevenage (I said near, not in Mr Corked Hat) but £12 is a bit steep considering its a fiver to a Europa game on Thursday.

Also, I wonder if JA Riise will be involved in anyway to get a bit of match fitness?

I have asked my rellies to look out for you. I have described you down to a tee and at the first hint of any bovver and you'll know about it. You have been warned and leave Stevenage in one piece if you don't mind  :035:

The only good thing about Stevenage is the animal research center, yes i believe in testing stuff on animals to save human lives ( i will donate my booze riddled body to science when i die). Anyhow that's not why i like the place, but when i was 21/22 i worked for a Paddy firm called McGees, i had to deliver to the animal place quite a bit, but used to report i was having trouble getting in due to security alerts, then park up and have a few hours kip, loved it.

The city of 10,000 roundabouts, Stevenage is the best argument ever for never riding in the back seat of a car while massively hungover.

If I didn't live about 20 minutes away I wouls suggest that Stevenage (or Stevo as the locals call it) would be a suitable testing place for a nuclear device. I'm not going on Sunday. I went when we played there in 1998 and this fixture is overpriced for a reserve game especially in the middle of a Europa run.

Are you sure it's 10,000. I thought it was more roundabout four  :down_under:

HAHA spot on Freddie. I've always wanted to get into Glaxos. it fascinates me what goes on in there.  :dead horse:  :airfix:  079.gif

And yes Culturevulture. I'd love to press 'that' button.  :028: :035:

OH well Corkedhat, it looks like I've got no back up (apart from Watford but he's not going to leave his luxurious box to help me out) so I'm not going to take their end on my own. Tell your rellies they can relax.  093.gif

I went to Wimbledon because I'm in my Summer holidays and £3 train journey's not too bad. But Stevenage is a bit more of a trek for just a nothing game. Saving money for Newcastle away.

...welcome goodat, I doubt anyone will have access to this info especially as it will be considered so minor an event in the grand scheme of things. It would be good to know beforehand as it might boost ticket sales, but despite the AFC Wombles turn out, I suspect the Fulham team will be mainly consist of the 'stiffs' for this game...

It's about 30 mins from Kings X and return tickets should be under a tenner with a student/young persons card.

Not sure how far the ground is from the station though mate.
