He knows what he is doing Nick, can't do any worse than Dunn.
Won't have the budget he had at FGR but lets see what he can do.
Hope he is able to attract the players he needs to make us more competitive than last season, although we never got hammered I can't believe how many games we lost by by single goal.
Pitch is coming along nicely, shirts on sale early June. Season tickets Monday and as you know loads of work going on behind the scenes.
Promising season ahead?

Paul Hornby on RC said a new training base also for next season.

Yes another move.

Should start coming out to the littlest hobo theme tune.

Was Mark Cooper in charge of Kettering that time we were called off mid game for a water logged pitch ?

Good interview AJ!
MC sounds hungry and said he has a point or two to prove to a few, plus a side swipe at his old club and that’s understandable. Also honest enough to say that we were not on his radar initially until approached and hearing what PH and TS had to say and them both selling the simple virtues of the club very well it would seem.
Be interesting to see how the squad develops with his additions and evolves as the coming season progresses,
Hopefully with us being there playing our part.

PH on RC said he was one of the first to apply for our vacant post.......Doesn’t matter who did what. He’s here, there is enthusiasm for his appointment and I can’t see that there is anyone on paper who is/was better. Needs our 100% support from the off.

We have always disliked mc as his teams have always been great at game management which apart from ie we have been poor at I’m expecting excellent organisation now he is one of us
