With everyone having eagerly been looking forward to another clash with Lokomotiv Ladywell, AKA the Ladywell 'Ladyboys' this coming Thursday at the all-weather pitch at the Crystal Palace National Sportcentre, it was a disappointment to hear the game had to be cancelled after their organiser, and a member of "The Rabblers" to boot!, Phil Baker had failed to actually book the pitch!
We are not sure if this was merely down to his traditional excessive-even by his standards-intake of alcohol over the festive season, or whether he was just all bluster, & talked a good game in the bar, & just bottled it at the last moment!
It is a shame when opponents prove to be so unreliable, and I would hope that we do not entrust a game into his hands in the future!
Only the other week he sent an email round trying to beg "Rabblers" players for their own tour to Bologna in a few weeks time. For an outfit who can't even raise a side for a match at Crystal Palace, down the road, what chance have they in getting a team out half way across Europe!
All in all a bit of a shambles from the honorary Rear-Admiral (self styled) of the Belgian Navy!
Ou only warm up now before we head across to Europe ourselves will be on Saturday 19th January, with a friendly match against, I think it is, Millwall Online.
Andy will be sending confirmation of this in a day or two.
So just to re-iterate: the warm-up game for our European warm-up match has been cancelled due to the incompetence of our very own 'Big Nose' Baker!
