Another Open day. 10:00 - Jul 20 with 2559 views | bwildered | The usual PR day for the club, trying to rally some support from young and old alike. Also release of another new kit, they become synonymous with a particular time , so recent ones give not to pleasant memories. Let’s hope the new one will be remembered for a more positive and successful next couple of seasons . Strange apart from one match kit the other season, the fans never seem to be consulted for their preferences, or am I wrong ? Anyway any preferences anyone ? | |

Another Open day. on 17:30 - Jul 21 with 2418 views | SparkfilmsTV | My oldest daughter was banging on the window around 2pm and insisted l got in the car with family members and attended the Open Day.....really glad l did, met up with Danny Cowley and related the wonder score that once appeared on my television screen - Luton Town 0 Braintree Town 3, and that after around the 30 minute mark. It was interesting to hear Robbie Cowling explain how Workhorse made no financial contribution to their shirt sponsorship arrangement in the second season and that has led to Hot Lizard appearing on the shirts. I had some insightful conversations with club members and l hope we both learned something from the exchanges. Matt Hudson was there with his wife and daughter and it was really nice to catch up with David Gregory. I'm sorry to report that the pitch looks in very poor condition. The playing area will be on the reduced scale that was used towards the end of last season - something of a tactical ploy. I was able to relate some information about Paul Lambert while he was Manager at Aston Villa to interested parties. The club clearly remember the redesign that Lambert oversaw of the away dressing room. Our new goalkeeper is almost as tall as the floodlight towers! We had fun with the green screen too in the Colu TV room....some decent kit in there and made sure the seat levels were compatible. [Post edited 21 Jul 17:49]

Another Open day. on 21:43 - Jul 21 with 2362 views | 442 | I’m really shocked to hear the pitch is in poor condition. I thought it was going to be ripped up and new drainage put in and a new pitch laid. Surely we’re not going to use the same pitch as last season? I usually try to stay on the positive side but that news has made me feel a bit anxious. I can’t do another season of that pitch. 😂 | | | |
Another Open day. on 22:52 - Jul 21 with 2333 views | SparkfilmsTV | Robbie Cowling said something about a ground worker leaving and another one who had been ill l think but either way, the pitch looked like someone had run over it with a Flymo or something....and not in completely straight lines either. Several other people commented on this too. There appeared to be discolouration in some areas. I could be mistaken but my impression today was that the close season could have gone a little more smoothly. Everyone seemed fairly optimistic though and enjoyed the Open Day which was very well attended. | | | |
Another Open day. on 15:07 - Jul 24 with 2161 views | SparkfilmsTV | The Peterborough match on Saturday has had to be switched from The Jobserve Stadium to London Road. I didn't want to be too dramatic with my assessment of the pitch after seeing it on Sunday but it was in a very poor state and requires immediate attention - otherwise we might end up ground sharing for a while! 😳😳 | | | |
Another Open day. on 16:23 - Jul 24 with 2072 views | wessex_exile | Just to clarify, it's at their Training Ground on Oundle Road, not London Road. | |

Another Open day. on 16:59 - Jul 24 with 2008 views | SparkfilmsTV | Thanks Wessex....even worse then. In that case l wonder if Florence Park or Maldon & Tiptree were considered? | | | |
Another Open day. on 17:14 - Jul 24 with 1994 views | RSCOSWORTH | I did think the same. Seems odd to switch it from our stadium to their training ground. | |

Another Open day. on 10:56 - Jul 25 with 1882 views | wessex_exile | Maybe they're protecting their pitch too? Didn't we host their friendly against Ipswich (last season?) because neither of theirs was available? | |
