Can't say to much at this stage but negotiations have gone well with the squad and most seem to be happy with what we are trying to achieve and push towards this season as well as some new faces coming to pre season ! When we can we will confirm players to keep you up to date as best as we can j

We also will as always look at what Youth is coming through as this has to be an important part for the club and to give these lads the chance to develop with us which already last year Danny Aldwinkle , Elliott Johnson , ross Owen made good progress that's not forgetting the good young players that have established themselves like Blackman, Christo etc. As always thanks for your support it is a great help to the team JOYNO

Thank you for tacking the time to visit this forum, and for your comments. It will be interesting to see how long we can keep Danny, Elliott,and Ross. Along with Paul Blackman at the club, we also have the West brothers, a good captain in Waters and Joe along with two or three others that Vaughan should be doing all he can to keep at the club.

Can't comment about what's happened in the passed not been hear long enough and with good young talent we will always fine it difficult to keep when clubs come calling and offering better financial deals ! But the one positive from last season was the young talent and that needs to be built on and players looked after as well as we can and do what we can to keep them and develop them going forward

Already had numerous decent local youth players either happily let go or decisions made where they didn't want to play for the club.

I had a chat with Anthony last night, and he is still trying to arrange some friendly games, but he stressed its hard finding teams to come to Tilbury.
He also informed me of a arranged game v Dagenham, but they pulled out of it. It cant be an easy task for Anthony, what with so many sides looking for pre season games. Thank you for your efforts Anthony, and most of all a bit of news from some one with in the club.

Hope Anthony will get some other decent friendlies, obviously i will be going to the scumbags game, and out of my respect for Robbie will go to the ETU game. The others are shit games which will prove nothing or have any relevance what so ever, apart from maybe trying out some more kids. I hope this aint showing the ambition for the coming season.

Tilbury's first game after the summer break will be vs Laindon Orient on Saturday 19th July at 3pm. The match will take place on the James Hornsby 3G pitch.

On Tuesday 29th July, we will host Grays Athletic at Chadfields for the Stan Veness Trophy. Kickoff will be at 7:45pm and more information about this derby game will feature close to the time.

We will then travel to Ilford on Saturday 2nd August (3pm) who have recently hired Allan Fenn to manage the side.

On Tuesday 5th August at 7:45pm, we will welcome East Thurrock United to play for the new Robin Nash Memorial Trophy to remember the life of our loved former chairmen.

The club is in talks with many more clubs regarding games and these will be announced soon. If you would like a match, please suggest it to our Club Seceratary, Anthony Mercer via the contact form on our website
