Forget anything you ever read here about the reserve match against Norwich City - it is a two o'clock kick-off tomorrow (Tuesday) at Roots Hall. The Little Gazette will be providing the usual eight-page match programme for the encounter - priced at a very reasonable fifty pence.
The first team's fixture against Cheltenham Town has actually been moved, according to the Robins' official website, www.cheltenhamtownfc.co.uk. The game will now be a Friday night clash, kicking off at 7:45 p.m. as part of the Gloucestershire team's experiment with floodlit football. The new date is Friday 9th January 2004.
Meanwhile, the Little Gazette has been informed that a date has been arranged for the F.A. Youth Cup tie at Roots Hall between the Shrimpers Under-18s and their Leyton Orient counterparts. Blues Youths will tackle the O’s on Thursday 23rd October 2003, with kick-off scheduled for 7:45 p.m. TLG will be providing a bumper match programme for the match.
Full match previews and reports will appear here, at the home of Blues’ Twos and Youths, at www.thelittlegazette.com.
