Afternoon All
On Saturday it starts, the next League Two campaign with the visit of Crewe Alexandra to the Broadfield Stadium for the 3.00pm kick off. So get down to the Broadfield Stadium and support our team.
We have all seen how the team have performed over the last few matches, especially the two Carabao Cup matches against York City and Watford, and you must admit they have been quite impressive. If that is the level we start the season then I don’t think we will be anywhere near the relegation dog fight this season – the team will improve over the next few matches and hopefully we will see less injuries to key players this season – but that said we all know that football is results game and you have to earn the points by scoring and winning matches which you can’t guarantee – the league will be taking some sort of shape after 10 matches and then you can see how the season may unfold.
The Red Devils Diary – our match day programme will be published again this season with the first league edition out on Saturday – at £2.00 it’s a brilliant publication produced by our supporters, so please buy a copy. You won’t be disappointed by the 40 pages of content – full of information that supporters like to read and virtually no adverts. With many clubs now not producing them it’s something that we can benefit the club to improve the match day experience. If you buy one please give us your feedback on the publication.
The support on the road has been brilliant so far with many making the effort to get to Eastleigh and Oxford United in pre-season and then the two Carabao cup matches, just under 200 to York on a Monday evening and then 826 to Watford last Saturday – in both games the atmosphere created was brilliant and let hope we can get the Broadfield Stadium full and rocking this Saturday.
Our record against Crewe isn’t that good but the most important match we played against them was in the League 2 play-off final winning 2 – 0 at Wembley – which will be forever remembered.
Dates for your diary – League Trophy matches – our away match against MK Dons is on Tuesday 22nd September with a 7.00pm kick off, then our first home match against Bromley is schedule to be played on Tuesday 6th October with a 7.45pm kick off and then the final match against Brentford U21’s is on Tuesday 10th November with a 7.30pm kick off.
All the three new kits have now been released for the supporters and I must admit that they are all very good – and I like the purple and white – takes me back to the promotion win at Tamworth in those colours – Like most of the supporters have commented the front of shirt sponsor UPTIME could have been better without the dark background, but that is the Company’s logo, however they did agree to make a change to the away kit with the black instead of the blue background.
Our FAB meeting on Tuesday evening went very well a lot of constructive dialog and hopefully you will see some better communication from the football to the supporters over the coming days and weeks. The minutes of the meeting will be published in due course – Do you have any questions for the club – please see the posters around the ground with the QR code which will take you to the FAB website and the question page.
The showing of the Carabao Cup match against York City in Redz was also a great success and is now likely to be done for other midweek away games that are shown live on TV. We obviously want you to travel to the games with us on the coaches, but if you can’t, then the next best thing is to watch it in Redz with other supporters.
Our first away League match is next Saturday 22nd August with the trip to newly promoted Rochdale. Full details of the coach travel to this game together with details of our trips to both Northampton and Accrington Stanley are below. We are taking booking for all three games from now. Will be in or just outside Redz on Saturday from just after midday depending how hot it is – and whether York City v Bristol Rovers is on the TVJ.
Finally – are you going to Rochdale by Train – have you got your ticket yet. We have a supporter who has booked train travel to Rochdale for the game on the 22nd August but is now unable to attend – if anyone would like to purchase his return ticket please contact me and I pass on his Email address to you – the ticket is from Redhill but all you need to do is then get a Three Bridges to Redhill return and your covered for the journey.
Our first three Away League matches coming up which we are taking bookings, again if we don’t get the required numbers on any of our coaches then we may cancel – we have to give United at least weeks’ notice if we are going to cancelling. We really hope that we don’t have to cancel any coaches to the away games.
