Thankfully it is nearly over! One final friendly at Wingate and Finchley next Saturday which I'm not attending and we can get down the serious business of winning points. It has been an odd pre-season. Off the pitch I've deliberately restricted myself to Tonbridge games in light of the price of fuel but, more importantly, on the pitch, Jay Saunders has been been denied the opportunity of pitching his side against superior opposition and even putting out what he would consider his strongest team with a series of absences and minor knocks. Sadly, even the 6th August opening day is clouded with disappointment for myself as with a delay to the new FIFA approved surface at Longmead, the home game with Weymouth has been switched and, annoyingly, I'm unable to be away for a whole day on this occasion. Weymouth appears to be a ground that will forever elude me. The last time they were in the same division as Tonbridge, the away game was cancelled as Covid brought a premature end to the season, watch them win promotion this season.
