Badly priced friendly tickets (over the period of the three weeks)
Washing my hair (not me of course)
General apathy of Morecambe folk

Sgt Major, the Captain (Pedantic), would like to point out - in response to your question "why cant I still not buy a replica shirt?" that you can!

Tuesday Night, only a friendly, two friendlys comming up I'd rather go to, Carlisle and Lancaster, first 2 real matches are away, Notts and Wycombe, not a difficult decision really, just wanted to save some cash. I'll be there when the season proper starts.

i didnt even no that there was a match last night until when it started because the fixtures on the bbc sport website are wrong. And they dont show the friendlies on the main website :(

Nice to get a good few comments on this one.

It was just a pity that there were not as many to see what I thought was a very good performance by the team.

My own opinion to the crowds is that the prices are too high for the majority in what we still view as a training exercise.

not a bad turn out mick to be fair and yes it was a good game
these are non competitive games remember they mean little other than measuring how the lads are progressing
im sure we will see a better turn out for the carlisle game what with rene being here and a good show saturday i suspect too
ill miss tranmere but was at barrow and burscough and ill be at the axe next week to give updates on that game
£8 a match mate is a lot for a lot of people and £4 for th ekids but that where we are these days we're billy big time now :lol:
keep the faith son
hope to see you for a packed quiz night at the york!!!
cheers sean
