Greetings Meadow; another Womble!! You'll find that our friends from Salisbury favour the availability of fine ales over the number of actual bars in which to sample it! that's what comes of having some of the finest ales known to man at the RayMac, you see - does the Cherry Red have handpumps??

We're not THAT upmarket! Kingsmeadow has however been improved over the last 6 years. A new roof over the Tempest (home) end, refurbished bars and toilets and we are currently extended the main stand to provide additional 200 seats. I'm sure you will be made to feel very welcome and if any Tinpot Terrace forum user makes themselves known, I'll buy you a beer (or a fruit-based drink if you prefer!)

Kingsmeadow is on my "to do" list for this season or next, depending on when I can persuade the boss that I need to do a course in That London! I will hold you to the offer of beer when I get there.

ISIHAC knows us too well!
Have actually been to Kingsmeadow a couple of times. When we were accidently shunted across to the Ryman League for a season we played Kingstonian. But a couple of years before that we had a game called off in London and a couple of phone calls and trains later 3 of us found ourselves watching Wimbledon play Feltham in the early days of AFCW. Got a great welcome from fans and club officials and our presence was even announced over the tannoy!
Not sure how many will go with it being holiday season plus many peoples' reluctance of watching/travelling to friendlies, but I'm planning to make the trip up.

Good man! I know Malx is planning to do it, too.
Look you. We don't have a game that day. I used to go to college in Kingston. One of my very best friends lives in Kingston. I know where the Real Ale is to be had, oh yes oh yes oh yes. Some of it with riverside views.
Any Salisbury/Dons/Sutton/hangers on that want to make a day trip of it?

We started our preseason on Saturday with a 5-1 win against Stratford Town. New signing Terry Fearns scoring 2 and goals for Carl Rodgers, Jamie Vermiglio and Matty Lewis. Youth teamers Andy Hartlebury, Scott Embury and Simon Gregory all got a run out in the second half after being called up last week. Tommorrow we travel to Wellington Amateurs, a Telford based club who have been promoted to the West Midland League Division 1. The two clubs have developed a strong relationship over the last couple of years. Sat 12th July - Stratford Town (a) MFA ~ W 5-1Tue 15th July - Wellington Amateurs (a) ^WM1 Fri 18th July - Cheltenham Town (h) L1 Wed 23rd July - Nottingham Forest (h) ^CH Sat 26th July - Havant & Waterlooville (a) BSS Mon 28th July - SSC Semi-final v Shifnal or Bridgnorth (h) MFA / ^MFA Thu 31st July - Shropshire Senior Cup Final (@ New Meadow, Shrewsbury) Sat 2nd August - Chester City (h) L2 CH - Coca Cola Championship L1 - Coca Cola League 1 L2 - Coca Cola League 2 BSS - Blue Square South (step 2) MFA - Midland Football Alliance (step 5) WM1 - (step 7) ^ - promoted to this season
I was not at the stratford game as i was away for the weekend. However this game also unveiled our new away kit following a deal with adidas. The kit will have the Capgemini sponsorship logo on the front after preseason. The home kit will be unveiled tommorrow I'd imagine. Pic shows Lee Moore wearing the new kit, I heard somewhere that the white shorts were a colour change and the standard away shorts will be red. Not sure if this is correct.

We did chortle at the choice of Havant for an away-weekend; and wondered whether you might also be taking in Bognor; or at least actully staying somewhere, er nice! Havant - all of it, is about as inviting as the bit of Telford that the NBH sits in, only there's less to do! This away trip was brought up on the open day, the manager was asked whether he thought we could actually do the job that Liverpool couldn't. Rob Smith tries to get in a long distance rpeseason match, then have the players stay there for the weekend as a team building exercise. Couple of seasons back we went to Weston-super-Mare. That year it fitted in conveniently with our Cornwall holiday as it was the day we travelled down. We went to the match and then when it was done (moods raised by a 4-1 win) we carried on for the last bit of the journey. It also meant we'd missed the traffic of Bristol. Didn't work out like that this year as we don't go on holiday untill August. However I've booked a seat on the supporters coach so should be there. Looking forward to this match, since my spell managing Havant & Waterlooville on football manager I figured i probably should actually visit Westleigh Park at some point.

Telford carry on with another 5-1 win. This time over local side Wellington Amateurs. The Ams started off the most attacking side before two goals by Matty Lewis. Wellington put away a penalty after Carl Rodgers brought down a Wellington player in the area. Substitute Terry Fearns scored a second half hat trick for a final score of 5-1. Wellington gave a good match following their second successive promotion and before the game it was announced that the two sides will be working together for mutual benefit. Also playing for Wellnigton Amateurs was the deputy head from my former secondary school.
This Friday Telford will face league 1 side Cheltenham Town at the New Bucks Head.

Was planning to, but that game's been downgraded to a Salisbury XI fixture due to the fact we've now got Port Vale coming to the Ray Mac on Saturday. With two potentially heavy saturdays after it, going to have to be sensible and stick with the home game.
