Two of the local sides - Cheltenham and Bristol City - will take each other on in a pre-season friendly this evening at Whaddon Road. It will be interesting to see how the new boys in each team have bedded in as next season's kick-off edges ever closer.
Bristol Rovers midfielder Chris Lines, 25, is no closer to resolving his plans for the coming season. Lines has spent some time training with Crystal Palace, but has now returned to the Mem and is expected to have a run out against Burnley this evening.
Oxford have continued their unbeaten run during their US tour and eased past Seacoast United 3-1 with two goals from Deane Smalley and a strike from new boy Jon-Paul Pittman.
Swindon Town will travel the short distance to take on neighbours Swindon Supermarine tonight.
I've set up this blog (Monday-Friday) to give extra coverage to teams I cover for the national press. Any views and opinions are all my own. Best wishes, Jeff. Follow me on Twitter and I'll update you each time I blog. http://twitter.com/JeffTaplin P.S. During the summer break I reserve the right to ramble on about anything and everything!
Would be interesting to see how the BCFC new boys 'have bedded in'. Sadly their are not many of them and those there are, are not playing tonight...
