Indeed, those fabled stories of sunny days and BBQ weather in August must be just that: stories. Unfortunately, rainfall has claimed it’s first victim on the game calendar with the cancellation of our final pre-season fixture against Merthyr team Quar Park Rangers coming as a result of too much surface water deeming the pitch unplayable.

To say we’re gutted is an understatement. We were very much looking forward to hosting the lads for some midweek fun after the original fixture date was amended and this really has spoilt our evening. Apologies to both the QPR lads (on behalf of the weather and the fact due to time constraints we can’t re-arrange before the start of our respective seasons) and to those fans who were planning on attending the game, rain or shine! We’ll see you very soon at the start of the season.
