Cambridge twitter saying tickets must be bought in advance,

[Beat Poet]

Some things never change! I wonder what the point of having the bench written that way is, like, why not our players and then all the trialists?

[HaylingBee74]

9 trialists Eeeks!

 

[Beat Poet]

I wish they'd do a couple of "three 30 min halves" friendlies, see how many trialists we put out.

 

[Sultan]

3-1 up, adams from the penalty spot for the second after hand ball.

 

[HaylingBee74]

Great informative commentary

 

[Banana]

These kids are......GOOD!

 

[Col T]

A lot of triallists but they all look a step up from previous seasons.
A good confident performance so far...

 

[Aylesbury Bee]

I’ve often wondered how long at the club trialists get before they’re signed up or released. I’m guessing not just one game like tonight’s as that would be unfair.

 

[Beat Poet]

Allan Steele revealed the club where the impressive no. 5 trialist spent some time, but the in-house "obviously" interviewer commentator guy talked over him.

 

[HaylingBee74]

Yup and to think that was their first game.

Please pass on how good the commentary was and the insight of Alan reading the game and saying what certain players needed to do almost before it happened.

which club?

 

[regp61]

Good first half with some pleasing performances.
But second half was poor and didn't create a single chance.
We struggled to get out of our own half.
Gilbert got caught in possession in dangerous areas a few times.
Looks good but needs to cut that bit out of his game.
NYC looked lively and took his chance well.
We also hardly won an aerial challenge.
Hoolahan still has class.

 

[cromerbee]

This was more or less a Cambridge United first team I hear? Is that correct anyone?

I think so - this was the team sheet tonight. It was a very enjoyable evening and we have some fine players in our B team!

 

[Sultan]

A good performance against an experienced side. Crowd of 726.

 

[Beat Poet]

which club?

No idea, because the guy talked over him.

Where did you get the team sheet ? Couldn’t find one anywhere

An elderly gentleman was walking around with them just before kick off in front of the main stand.

Dang !! Missed that .... will check eBay in a few days time. £10 a pop !?


Why didn’t the elderly gentleman just stand by the one entrance to the ground and give them out there

Did you get the turnstile operator asking if you wanted to keep your ticket ? ... not had that question posed before. I responded back, that these will be worth more than Barrow Away in a few years time

 

[Mr Cynical]

Only saw the first half but we did v well against a strong Cambridge side, particularly given that was our first game. Really liked the look of the trialist LB.. V quick and played some intelligent passes including a great assist for the first. Anyone any ideas who he was? Young-Coombes looks very lively and will bag a fair few I reckon.. Great to see Maghoma back, think he and Trevitt already looked like they're getting a bit of an understanding going..

You missed an amazing save by Shepherd in the 2nd half. Out of this world, from a cracking shot that was destined for the top corner.

You feel for the triallists, having to impress. Particularly the (Palace?) one whose own goal resulted in defeat last night!

 

[hatfieldbee]

Enjoyable evening out. Initially couldn't find any fellow Bees, but suddenly saw a red and white striped shirt in the crowd. Went over there and was about a dozen Bees there. Saw another in the end stand later.

Not difficult to understand the Bees way of playing, the number of times the quick through ball to the front was used. A lot of heavy running done, especially in the 1st half.

Interesting when you're watching a match in a small stadium close up. Nothing like watching from a high up camera position. Preferred it in fact. Much closer to the action.

 

[GP200]

..............yep.............proper Bees on tour topping up TAPs..............

If you message me your address I will send you a copy, if you would like it.

Yes, funnily enough we were asked if we wanted to keep our tickets!

That’s very kind. Thanks. Have PM’d you.

 

[Beat Poet]

A little bit of (good) sh*thousery by the club, billing the Cambridge team as a "Brentford XI" and then billing it as "Brentford B" in the report/pics etc. I very much doubt any first teamers will play in these "Brentford XI" matches.

Brentford B pulled off an impressive 3-1 victory over League One side Cambridge United.

Dulwich on 31st July

£12.96 a ticket. Might have some of that

 

[reheat104]

Dulwich info taken from Brentford Main Site.....
"We intend to provide a live stream of this fixture with the feed going live shortly before kick-off."

 

[Pink Panther]

£12.96 a ticket. Might have some of that

You can also pay on the gate (card only) which is £12 for adults. The 96p online booking fee seems a bit daft for games that will never sell out.

I believe the clubhouse will be closed but there are outside bars at each end of the ground, again card payments only.

Thanks. Do you have a club shop ? And if so will that be open tomorrow ? After a Dulwich Hamlet mug

As far as I'm aware the club shop will be open before and after the game and at half-time, it's been open for all three pre-season matches so far. It's immediately to the left as you pass through the turnstiles. This is the current range of mugs according to the Supporters Trust website:

Merchandise - Mugs and Cups - DHST

dhst.org.uk

Unfortunately there probably won't be any programmes or teamsheets.

Ok, thanks for letting us know

 

[TadB]

Is there a stream for todays match v Dulwich?

 

[Bigbee]

I thought todays game was being streamed ? Cant see it ?

 

[reheat104]

Latest on Twitter...
Unfortunately we are unable to provide a stream for today's match due to connection issues.

 

[Bigbee]

just saw that , b***ocks , half my plans gone , got to do some sh*t around the house before 3 now :-(

 

[UnsungZero]

I was surprised when they said they hoped to stream it as Dulwich are charging admission.

 

[HaylingBee74]

Does that mean that we will be able to watch it later?

 

[stocc]

No Nathan Young-Coombes in the lineup?

 

[WARFIELD BEE]

No Nathan Young-Coombes in the lineup?

I couldn't see him in the training pictures from Harrow either.

 

[reheat104]

Dulwich HT. 1-1 Adams Pen on 45mins.

 

[Beat Poet]

Former Bees youth teamer Gio McGregor is in the Dulwich lineup. Jamie Splatt, great name.

 

[Bigbee]

losing 3-1

 

[Beat Poet]

We need a Herculean effort second half.

[WARFIELD BEE]

No Mogensen or Young Coombes (Injured)?
