Are the U23 at CP tomorrow? I can see they at home from FA final score but I know we played some matches at Hatfield last year and there nothing on website/twitter. Given how far away Taunton is I sure there be a bit of a crowd if the club advertised it a bit.

Funnily enough I’ve just been checking ours and Dunstable’s social media, but there’s no mention anywhere. I’m guessing it will be at the Park but we’ll have to wait and see. The Club usually posts a weekend preview so hopefully it will be mentioned.
I doubt there will be much of a crowd though, l went to half a dozen of the games last season and there was rarely more than 50 there. When I asked one of our officials if we could open one of the pitch side bars and maybe a food outlet to encourage more people in or even make admission free, but he said it wasn’t financially viable.

I have been to reserve team games were there been a bar open, alternatively the clubhouse is open. The question I have with charging people to get in is at what point does it essentially become futile. My guess most of that 50 are season ticket holders or on some sort of list. So what are you taking at the gate? If it 90 quid or something is it worth the hassle |

Given how far away Taunton is I sure there be a bit of a crowd if the club advertised it a bit. The U23s are definitely at home tomorrow, Saturday 26 August to AFC Dunstable Development. Kick off is 3:00 at Clarence Park. Why it is not on our website, I cannot imagine. It is ridiculous, when the 1st team are playing at Taunton some 190 miles away and we could have expected at least 100 + at CP, if the game had been advertised properly on the SACFC website and elsewhere. Crazy. |

A decent game with some good performances, particularly from our no. 10 who scored a good goal and cause their defence no end of problems. Credit to Dunstable who never stopped trying.
The crowd was approx 60 with a dozen or so from Dunstable. The Club House appeared to be closed, but the Boardroom was selling drinks.

Argee about the number 10. Although the weather was iffy I thought the crowd was a bit disappointing. It might only be difference between 60 and 90 but surely the club could do a bit more to publicise games.
You have to wonder if its a great idea having the women and the U23 using the main pitch. It is Ok now but come autumn. Although, it was too bad with the rain ect I thought you can tell a game had been played on it at the end and with another in 48 hours...

Yet again, there is advertising and promotion, email communication, twitter, linkedin, instagram and numerous others in various places for both the 1st team game against Welling Utd at Park View Road tomorrow Sat 2 Sep 3:00 pm ko and the St. Albans City F.C. Ladies at home to Stevenage Sun 3 Sep 2:00 ko.
From what I can see, there is absolutely no promotion anywhere for the Suburban League Premier Division game tomorrow Sat 2 Sep 3:00 ko between St. Albans City U23s and Abbey Rangers Development at Clarence Park - none,zilch and that is pathetic. Tony Gauthier and Harry Wheeler work tirelessly with this squad in the hope that they can produce a gem who can make it through to the 1st team per Riccardo Di Trolio in 2022.
The trains and the underground are all over the place tomorrow and it will be a nightmare getting to Park View Road and that's before we even start on ULEZ.
It would nice to see some of of those supporters who can't make it to Welling tomorrow, try to get the down to Clarence Park and get behind the U23s. I guarantee you won't be disappointed and we might even see another 100/150 on the gate.
Sat 2.9.23
Abbey Rangers F.C Development (H) 3:00pm k.o. Clarence Park.

Noone expects the club to invest serious time/effort in promoting U23 games but I don't see why we cannot put out a tweet. If you have a season ticket and nothing else on its a very attractive option. The U23 play a attractive brand of football and always interesting to try and spot players who you feel can go further.

Only a thought but perhaps we should be promoting the U23 team to the same extent as our ladies team. In my book, one is every bit as important as the other and some would say more so.
