Re: New season
Many years ago I remember talking with Roy Philpott about this and he said there was a manager at Wembley Town who would think nothing of trying to “tap up” players in a pre season friendly against them. This was in the days of “amateur players”.

Re: Welling away
Be interested to hear what Mel thought about it. He has given fringe players an opportunity and it would seem they are not what we require if we are to mount any sort of successful campaign in 23/24.

Welling away
Our final trip of the season. Not sure what type of team we will field this evening. It might be on similar lines to Concord, if so, it might see us lose. It might also give us an insight as to team planning for next season.
