    Not too bad then

    To be honest I don't think an unbeaten pre-season is necessarily a good thing - manager needs to see how players reacting to being behind etc.

    I like the look of the new away kit - is it the same material though as the home kit? Bought the lad home shirt for the hols and he was well chuffed when we got there and I gave him the shirt as a surprise, I might get away one but I wasn't keen on the material.

    RE: Not too bad then

    Yeah, the football was OK - you'll get the gist if you scroll down the board - and from what I've seen I think we have every right to feel confident going into the season.

    As to the shirt, I think it looks very smart, one of the best we've had. They were certainly selling well today.

    From what I can tell, it's the same material as the home shirt. One point that some would find important is that the Perrys on the back is smaller and higher up - just below the collar. Not nearly so intrusive.

    Good about the Perry's logo then - seems the club have taken note of comments.

    I also suspect that the players home shirt will have it smaller and higher up.

    It was that logo that was putting me off getting one - might get the away shirt now

    You're right about the players' shirts - the logo is definitely higher up.

    Unfortunately the font and style that the League has chosen for the players' names and numbers is pants, so they look ridiculous even though the Perrys doesn't interfere!

    It was excellemt.

    Went in the underground lake a couple of years ago when we went. Didn't do any trips out this time just pool, beach, pool, beach, bar, pool, restaurant, pool, bar - get the picture?!

    Yes we had the Kefalonian meat pie - excellent....as was all the greek food we tried.

    Went in one restaurant 5 nights out of 7 it was that good and we got rewarded with free chocolate souffle for dessert twice! Was too stuffed to eat it all though!
