What a game to finish the season a 6 goal thriller at the
KC Stadium.We took the lead through Kipre and then
they levelled it with a goal from Awuah,then Allsopp put
us 2-1 ahead before a Clark penalty tied it up again at
2-2,then Russell put Darlington infront in the 71st min

90th min to secure a ponit and finish the game 3-3,in the
end a fair result.

End of season...
Div 3 - 17th

directors office and told to get my stuff together heres
your p45 and get yourself up the dole office on monday,
YOUR SACKED!
Just been up the dole office and theres only 2 bloody
teams that want me! East Stirling and Stenhousemuir.
Stenhousenuir have more money so i is off there for a
season to see how i get on in my homeland.

my so far unsuccesfull managerial career,

Bye for now people wish me luck.

Ill put a bid in for them but do you think they will come to Stenhousemuir?

[Exeter city]

very good read there but seems a poor season for that team your going to how much money you got to spend and what keague they in i can also rccomened d.clare from chester in conference but he can play in division 1 in england and j.coppinger from exeter also in conference(next season div 3) these will cost you around $1.5million together*
