    My team is due to play them next week and I've been told they're a pretty decent side.

    We're called AFC Dynamo. Manager told me today we're heading up to Royston next week to play you - thought it was a long way for a friendly myself, but we're looking for some decent opposition.

    What position do you play?

    Ah, yeah, next Saturday morning!

    10:30 kick off.

    I play in the goals mate. We're not a bad side (young) on our day, but I think we'll find it tough this season in Division One.

    Nothing like that pal. There's an abandoned scout hut which may/may not have running water...

    There is a leisure centre just up the road which you could use. I used it a few months back when our shower broke...

    Should be a good game. We've played four friendlies. Won 2. Lost 1 and drawn 1. We lost to a Barnsley premier division side 6-1. So if you're lads are anything close to that standard, you'll probably tonk us.

    You might as well shoot on sight mate.

    It's my first game back after 4 weeks with a severely sprained ankle and a dislocated finger, so I might fall to bits!

    If they are anything like the Sunday sides i'd wear 2 sets of shin pads, front and back, oh and maybe some body armour and a knuckle duster. :eek:

    Top lads. I used play cricket with a few of the lads for Royston, and Hursty played a few games for us at Old Town a few back.

    My lads team played them last season in the cup (I think) and they looked pretty good. It was the first season in the mens league for my lads team and it was early season so it was difficult to really tell how good they were.
