Just waiting for Chelmsford away to be added0

We did indeed. 2-1 Shaun Newton bagging the winner!killerandflash said:
I can't imagine Wenger being too impressed by the state of our pitch either :-)Chris_from_Sidcup said:The problem there is that the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea are too busy touring the world making money to bother playing a friendly against us. What would be in it for them?
Didn't we beat Arsenal in a pre season friendly back in the mid 90s?0 -
Off to Pompey on my own

Not very inspiring, Oh well.0

I think the top Premier League clubs charge a hefty appearance fee for friendlies now, thats probably why we wont see one in pre season....0

Now a 20,000 mile round trip for me.....passMendonca In Asdas said:I think Chris Powell will be taking the Daggers friendly very seriously , he'll want to erase the memories of a couple of seasons ,when we were shocking , for anyone who went then , it might be worth going along to this one , providing we put out a strong team.

As UK pre season friendlies are officially crap (apart from Welling for the beer) I'm glad that the arranged games are more crappy than the usual crap, as I won't be tempted to watch any of the crappiness :-)0

When are pre season friendlies inspiring?0

The point of going to preseason games, is to se trialists, possible young players who might step up and who looks in form for start of the season. The results are very much second place to these.Also they are just good fun.0

As a London Addick these all appeal to me so should be attending Wimbledon, Daggers, Welling (as always) and probably Pompey, Means I can drink in my local pubs before I go to the games which is always a treat when I know of the prices before drinking, anyone know what the pubs around Kingmeadow are like?0

Absolutely correct. On that note, think we should send our academy side to play this lot: http://www.fclasvegas.com/Brendan_O_Connell said:

So are you saying there's actually a match at Welling? I thought they only opened the ground to take in the overspill from The Guy.msomerton said:The point of going to preseason games, is to se trialists, possible young players who might step up and who looks in form for start of the season.

Short walk into New Malden pub called The Fountain is decent. However, a 5 pound taxi ride - although walkable if you feeling energetic(15 mins) is one of my favourite boozas in the whole planet being The Boaters at Kingston - absolute bliss on a sunny day, on the River, watching the totty walk or run by.Luvly.DeeBee said:As a London Addick these all appeal to me so should be attending Wimbledon, Daggers, Welling (as always) and probably Pompey, Means I can drink in my local pubs before I go to the games which is always a treat when I know of the prices before drinking, anyone know what the pubs around Kingmeadow are like?

More games announced via Twitter but my computer here is awful for getting on to the official site.
Gibraltar XI and St Mirren in Spain, plus an XI going to Dartford and Maidstone if anyone can copy the dates.0 -
Still a date free on the Saturday 27th July. Hopefully a day for a home friendly0

The first-team squad will travel abroad the day after taking on the Wings, and will first face a Gibraltar XI on the Wednesday, July 10th before taking on St Mirren three days later.

BTW, local Wetherspoons to Fratton Park called the John Jaques is/was managed by an Addick.I'll try to find out if he's still there.0 -
Maidstone United will play a Charlton Athletic XI on Saturday 13 July.
The Addicks, managed by Chris Powell, finished ninth in The Championship this season following their promotion from League One the season before.
The club’s first team coach Damian Matthew was previously Youth Development Officer at Maidstone United and was influential in organising this high-profile fixture.
Charlton have a large fan base in Maidstone and Malling – much of that is credit to Sue Townsend and her colleagues on the local branch of the Charlton Athletic Supporters’ Club.
