Pre season this year will provide challenges for the new intake of trialists, and those that make it through can expect some tough games against some very good opposition.

Add to that a very exciting game against Hashtag United. For those that don't know Hashtag they have been predominantly a club that is made of you tube stars, who can also play good standard football. Games have in the past been exhibition games recorded and shown on uou tube, and attracting thousands around the globe, with some of the players having over a million views on you tube.

Hashtag have kindly agreed to come down to East Thurrock, where their owner has previous associations, and to play us before starting life in step 6. This game should attract a lot of interest, as should all our other games hopefully, as the squad starts to take shape
