The only thing people generally ask is one half decent home friendly, although for obvious reasons that's not always possible.
Im predicting Brentford at home..

We usually have 2 home games , so I'm predicting Fulham & Millwall to travel.

Doubt West Ham considering they refused to let us use one of their many local training facilities.

Wouldn't mind to see out a game with Conference South play off winners and Conference new boys Boreham Wood, have we ever met them? Only a bit down the A1 from Apex Corner and could draw in a fair few from good footballing territory.

Played them back in the Ryman when we went over 1000 minutes not conceding, that was the game we reached 1000 and I was there. We never even won the league that season! I remember a bloke taking his dog to that one too.

The home games in pre-season will probably be on Saturday 25th & Tuesday 28th July.
What I've gathered from this thread is that the current schedule is:

Saturday 11th July - Away V Maidstone
Wednesd 15th July - Away v Billericay Town (19:30)
Tuesday 21st July - Away v Erith & Belvedere
Wednesd 22nd July- Away v East Thurrock
Wednesd 29th July - Away v Wealdstone

Bit confused why most are on a Wednesday, we usually delegate the Wednesday's to squad games which take place the day after the first team game.

Ah disappointed at the date of the Maidstone fixture, it's down the road from my Mum's síde and I was quite intrigued by the 4g pitch however I'm away on holiday. Had heard rumours Wayne & Tim Sherwood were mates (could be total bull) and Villa was a possibility. Would surely draw in 2,500 if Villa sent a few first teamers down which is possible with no major tournament this summer + doubt many Villa fans would have visited Daggers so may want to tick it off. West Ham would be a good money spinner however doubt they'd be willing to entertain us. Colchester the week before the season starts would be a suitable test.
It's a game of opinions. @BillyCove94
