Don't forget this is on tomorrow night - there'll be the usual open Q & A so you can ask the questions you'd post on here to the people directly!

Thanks for the opportunity, Gregg in peace from afar!
We seem to be suffering from many injuries again which is frustrating for all, I am interested to know if DFC is up there with the best of clubs with fitness coaches etc? We are a big club with many teams - is this an area we could improve on?

Thanks to everyone who came.
Darren McQueen dislocated his shoulder on Saturday at Leatherhead, and is out for around four weeks. Sheringham has a thigh injury, different from the injury he had at the end of last season.
The Club are in discussions with two strikers, as the only fit striker is Andy Pugh and he's still coming back from the injury last year to an extent. One striker might be tricky to get done in time for Saturday - it involves his current club and contract issues. The other is Norman Wabo who was still in discussions with Gillingham as of yesterday. His agent has indicated that if he doesn't join Gills, he'd be likely to join us.
With regards to Kebabus' question, Adam doesn't think there's a better conditioning coach/setup in non-league. The injuries have been much more unfortunate. He's never heard of two dislocated shoulders in pre-season ever. General fitness levels have improved significantly from last year, and the injuries aren't linked to anything, purely misfortune.
There was talk about the Community programme, Youth Development Centre, the Women's Team, the Club's website and social media.

The Norman Wabo thing seems strange to me.
His agent is trying to get him a deal at a league 1 club and then says if he doesn't he going to join us and we are 3 leagues below Gillingham. I must be missing something here as if he thinks he's good enough for league 1 why would he come to a National league South club?

Maybe his agent thinks he's good enough for League 1 - or thinks he'd get more commission from a League 1 deal...
