Managers Comments
I am looking forward to this season more than any other not more so that we're in a higher league but more i feel this bunch of players will do better and make history.
I am pleased to say that th new season is almost underway, I am hoping to get at least a mid-table position but i know for sure i am going to try and go for the league win, i feel i might lose the odd few games this campaign but i am hoping to avoid defeat for most the season like before.
We're in two new competitions so i am hoping to gain some experience in them and try to get at least a few rounds in the cups.
