Exeter: Well at least the pre season is more promising. I was beginning to think another relegation was on the cards but the squad seems to be firming up well and performing better than last season in the pre-season. It counts for little in the league of course but at least I'm hoping we can scrape top half of the table now. Expect Plymouth and Torquay to finish higher. Jammy clubs like Plymouth always find the money somehow. I think I'll be happy with any sign the club isn't spending beyond its means and a top 22 finish, really.

Still think we need one really decent centre back though.

Nob cheese.

Barnet will play in Harrow from the start of the 2013-14 season after Harrow Council approved the club's bid to move to their training ground.

The Bees intend to swap Underhill - their home since 1907 - for a renovated, purpose-built stadium at their Hive training complex.

It was purpose-built by Wealdstone for themselves.

Apparently our division is blessed with Joey Barton. At Fleetwood.

Surely not until at least October though? I think we might just avoid him as we're playing them on October 2nd.

So, JM, is your friend Medway Council?

He's now started this blog. Seeing as he can't bear to follow Gillingham any more, he's trying to see whether he can avoid football for an entire season (I'd say that's close to impossible).

I dunno. If he was a Gillingham fan for that long, then he's had plenty of practice at it.

Boom-tish!

Any OTFers off to Gillingham Bradford on Saturday?

The joys of Martin Allen await me.

How on earth have you ended up there, AE?!

especially as the swans in town!

Staying at a mates in Gillingham gentlemen, it was this or Maidstone's first league game in their new ground.

Pretty awful, Martin Allen is a shocking choice of manager, the team looked pretty poor, no width or real tactics.

Awful anti-Mark McCammon chants, just the stand up if you hate Mark McCammon and 68 grand but not justified IMO.

My son and I enjoyed our first game as Wimbledon season ticket holders proper at Kingsmeadow today.

They did very well to get a 1-0 win over relegated Chesterfield who look a centre forward shy of a very good side. Swap Jack Midson with either of their strikers and it probably could have been 0-3 given the chances created.

A good performance though, especially considering Wimbledon had three full debutants in the back four and another two in midfield, were swamped for the opening 25 minutes and it was far too hot for football.

One of my great annoyances in decades of attending probably over a thousand fixtures (including ones where I was in a crowd of around twelve people) is never having touched the match ball during a game. On my son's fifth match it lands at his feet and he chucks it back towards a pitch with a nonchalance totally at odds with the momentous nature of his achievement, the little bugger.

A handshake and a "Welcome to the club" from the afore-mentioned Midson and hug from Haydon the Womble were highpoints for him too. I think we're going to have fun.

It was a bloody good win, wasn't it? Glad you had a good day too.

Did I ever need it, too.

Will try and do some OTF socialising at an evening game when I'm not entertaining my son some time as well.

strangely the match ball landed at my feet today, I threw it back. It was a result of another wayward scunthorpe effort on goal

I dont think i have thrown a ball back before

Glad you had fun Harry at your new club.

Thanks, though not sure it's my "new club" really. Both because I have had links with them for 16 years and because I don't know if you can ever really switch clubs in adult life.

I'm still a Cardiff supporter, it's just that they are in suspended animation at the moment and I'm not really sure if they'll ever come back to life.

Suffice to say that Wimbledon are the club I currently watch/follow and that's more than good enough for me at the moment.

Warms the cockles, so it does.
