Great news for occasional Colston Avenue botherers. Pretty chuffed.

They have a friendly against Cray Valley tomorrow evening with a maximum 300 tickets available via the club website.

There's also an FA Cup match against Whitstable on Saturday 12 September, by which time up to 600 spectators should be allowed if all goes well.

However they're rather passive-aggressively asking spectators to wear a mask ("not compulsory") throughout the game.

Can't make the Cray Valley game unfortunately. Has the potential for a vast display of former players.
Tooting v Carshalton, if they're letting people in, has me tempted on the 5th though.

I wouldn't normally do a pre-season game as a neutral, but that's tempting on a Saturday unless a Hamlet game materialises in the meantime.

I also have Fisher v Horsham YMCA on Tuesday 1 September in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round as a possible first football day in nearly 6 months. Or Glebe v Whyteleafe on the same evening. (Sure to be one or two ex-Hamlet players on show there.)

Passive aggressive? People are still dying. 18 more recorded yesterday. It would be a great if people just followed very simple courtesy mask culture without being told to.

Approximately 450 people die of cancer every day, week after week, year in year out. There are all sorts of other risks in life beyond catching the dreaded lurgi. If I'm expected to wear a mask to stand out in the open air all afternoon to watch football I think I'll go to the boozer instead.

I hope this post is some really brilliant satire.

I’ll never forget that time my mate down the pub coughed on me and I woke up the next day with cancer.

And what exactly do you think the chances are of catching anything from someone standing out in the open air at a football match, which was my original point? It appears that wearing masks is not part of the protocol agreed to get supporters back into grounds but one local club has gone a bit further and added it to their rules - their prerogative. I said I probably wouldn't go to one of their matches - my prerogative.

I've had enough of the pandemic police denouncing "other people" all the time. Diagnosis of cancer has almost halved in the last 6 months; somehow I doubt people have suddenly stopped getting cancer. Get your sanctimonious head out of your backside and think about it. There's going to be a huge timebomb of other long term side effects resulting from the whole situation: redundancy, unemployment, poverty, eviction, depression, homelessness, alcoholism, suicide, other assorted mental and physical health problems yet some people can't see beyond the bloody virus.

That's my final comment on the matter, I shall stick to the football on here from now on.

No harm in a player in the twilight of their career seeking a bumper pay day. We had a few last season.

None of ours last season were much over 30, theoretically they should still have been at their peak. (May must be 36 now and at least he had a footballing brain and made an effort despite the lack of goals.) No doubt one or two have landed another decent contract elsewhere for the forthcoming season.

On limited evidence I like the look of 35 years old Michael Timlin. He looks like another Kargbo who can give us 100 games worth of valuable service. A proper leader who can walk the walk.

Maybe right about none being much over 30 but I would say there were some who are very much on a downward trajectory. And if there weren't some that were just there for the pay day then my name is Ryan Moss.

Money always attracted mercenaries at any level of football - it's the major drawback to having a big budget, IMO. Doesn't always guarantee a better quality of football either - just look at any of Steve King's teams.

I'm not arguing with that. There are plenty of players who seem to be on a downward trajectory after 25; or at least just doing enough to pick up the next contract.

At least King generally gets results and a top five/seven place. Not my favourite manager but doesn't waste money as badly as we did last season.

Of course. I'm not someone who thinks that players turn up anywhere for the love of the shirt. Don't get me started on King - it's his hair I can't handle. And he looks a bit like my boss. Who is a twat.

Yes, he's got one of those strange trendy hairstyles with a side parting just above his ear even though he's not a slaphead and he's in his fifties. He actually makes me want to dress like Jeremy Clarkson.
 
I like to think when he was a kid and his mates used to knock to ask if he could come out to play, his mum said “Jay may”.
In fact their house was probably morning to night hilarity on that theme.

That's all very interesting, but crucially have we had other players where their first and last name rhyme? If not, why not?

Don't know if we've ever passed up the opportunity to sign Nortei Nortey. I'm not actually sure if it rhymes but it is my favourite name in football.

Obviously we had Philson Wilson.
