Beveree Chat

Unless I've missed something, has there been any announcement on any games for next season?

Not sure how long the new 3G pitch takes to lay, but I take it that it may be difficult to have any home games?

I heard we're looking for 5 x away friendlies.
Via Salisbury FC website, we travel there on Saturday 29th July

It wouldn't surprise me if the first couple of home games in the league aren't at Beveree.
Every club doing an artificial pitch wants it done in the close season, the companies often can't do them all in that period.
Bad weather, materials delayed etc cause issues too. Does anyone ever have building work completed on time.

I wonder what the plan B is where to play if not ready in time?

I understand the league requires a plan B in case the pitch is not ready so a provisional arrangement to play home games away needs to be put in place. It would need to be, I believe, at a ground with the necessary ground grading for the NLS. Not sure where the nearest qualifying ground would be though. Hayes, Wealdstone, Farnborough, Harrow?

Kingsmeadow?

Met Police surely?

Don't think Met Police has the necessary ground grading, might be wrong.

I thought Kingsmeadow but thought Chelsea didn't want anyone to ground share albeit it it might only be a couple of games if it came to pass. Any other team would have to agree and it may not suit for various reasons.

If the new pitch is not ready, surely we'd do what Tonbridge did at the start of this last season and switch any home fixtures to become away matches with the return at home later in the season,

That would certainly okay if it was only for a couple of weeks, any longer would be a problem.

Beaconsfield have announced a home friendly against us on 22 July, at 1 PM.
