I'm not sure why some parts of our supporters camp were complaining about the original rejection.

I can see why the club would want to play a friendly or two, as a means to get into match fitness and have some friendly competition.

Yet, I have always felt that we could easily split the squad into two and, play against each other. It might not be competitive as such. but at least it would limit the chance of injuries. Besides I really don't think that playing Dorking would be a massive step up from playing ourselves in training. Notts has a good squad, our B team could probably control a game against them with all due respect.

its not a bad thing but i do agree with the point raised by @Chris.

notts would have more control over splitting our squad into two and then playing each other, we don't know how dorking will approach the game, i dont think the friendly is a bad thing either, i just feel notts could be more competitive in a safe environment against themselves.

its all about match fitness isnt it.

Neal Ardley just has to approach the friendly in a sensible way and pull players if there's a risk of injury.

Bit of a run out isn't it? The result need not be mentioned but it's a friendly at the end of the day.

Terrible result but friendlies mean nothing, if anything those clubs laughing might have some humble pie to eat.

Use it to fuel our promotion push.

The last friendly finished 3-3 against Boston United, some good goals scored.
