Presume his clearance may not go through in time for him to play tomorrow? But would be good if he could manage that one game for us.

Re: season tickets

We have previously run early bird season ticket sales in March / April (2017 to 2020). This is normally done to assist cashflow.

Season ticket sales for next season will be launched in the close season this year.

It's pretty clear that Styche and Syers have been moved on to pay for the new Commercial Manager.

Hughes can play anywhere from CB to CF.

At 6ft 4 he isn't going to be out muscled by any one.

I've been told he is more than capable of playing a holding midfield role.

Yes just get them from quaker retail at the Dolphin Centre. I very much doubt this will be a sell out.
