Almost unbelievaly it's already time for our first pre season friendly on Friday  2 questions: Is it on the main pitch at Haywood Way? And will it be free entry? |

Always flies round doesn’t it ! I really hope it’s on the main pitch, love being near the changing rooms and smelling the scent of deep heat. That’s proper football

£4 admission fee, puts me off going, shouldn't be charging for pre-season friendlies 👎
It was 'donation' entry for their match on Tuesday so why the change?

That was in memory of Steve McDonald, proceeds going to charity. To be fair, someone has to cover the costs of the game, with refs expenses at over £160 (I know...) it is rare you will get a PSF offering free entry. We will be charging for our one home fixture, as we always do. |

Clubs have lots of expenses preseason. League and county fa registration fees. Fa cup fees, for those with their own grounds pitch preparation fees, kit replacement costs all while not earning a penny so charging for a preseason game seems very reasonable

Forgot to mention insurances which are required by both the fa and leagues which are not cheap. Preseason is one of the most expensive times of the year
