Dorking Wanderers have announced that we are travelling there on 26th June for a PSF

Just seen the Marc White news video in which he says this .... Surely he means 26 July rather than June?

We don't normally begin pre-season until the start of July and 26 June is a Thursday in any case .... whereas 26 July is a Saturday

Yes, you are correct. In line with FA rule B21.1 and B21.3, which defines the close season, teams are not permitted to play 11v11 fixtures in the month of June. This is due to no insurance, no sanction, no affiliation etc. The only football still permitted by the FA is affiliated summer tournaments, 9v9 and 7v7 football.

the wonders of Google !!! makes every one look clever !

Well, I was grateful for the information, however it was obtained. Thanks for clarifying!

Dorking for a PSF should actually be a pleasant afternoon, assuming a lesser crowd means that getting a reasonable view of the game will be easier.

Be nice to have a pre season tour of some quaint Scottish grounds.

Would be wonderful sadly unless a sponsor paid for it ,it won't happen . 4 game tour at QOS,Irvine Meadow ,Ayr and Arbroath.

I don't imagine we'll see much action on our pitch over the summer.

For anybody who uses Futbology the Dorking Wanderers game has now been added to the app.

Billericay (!) away on 19th July.

Cue nostalgic chants of “If you still hate Billericay, clap your hands”…

Suddenly, a midweek trip to Rusthall doesn't seem so disappointing ...

Probably won’t, but it would be good to have a couple of quality PSF at the Rec. A lot of other clubs seem to get someone a little bit different to their usual opponents.

Someone on Social Media had a good idea of trying to get a Crystal Palace XI down for a red and blue trophy ribbon fiesta!

Great idea! Having been adversaries in the league, many, many years ago and as payment for “stealing” our red and blue shades of colour it would be great! .

At least only one set of trophy ribbons would be needed!
