Lucky that I decided to drive as originally we were going by train

Yes completely understandable. In retrospect I wonder if spending 10k on track suits was the way to go or whether a couple of k could have been siphoned off to pay for player recruitment.

This squad looks very similar to the Coleman one, and let’s be fair, early doors we were poor. I expect much better performances under Eccles but those early fixtures are going to be very difficult. Many of these guys have only really got experience of playing bottom end L1.










I had booked to go but seeing as how the game is now being played at Robin Park Wigan. Plus having seen the squad, I am not going to bother..

Assuming Cake will decide who's playing after tonight's training, will our teamsheet contain a lot of A Trialist or will whatever cats are in the bag be let out?

Juma, Greenlagh, Thomas etc. I think we may do similar this time or do one announcement along lines of “we are pleased to announce 7 (?) promising players on loan from our feeder team Skolars.” Or we are pleased to announce a strengthening of our links with the grass roots game down south….by signing 7 players from the conference.
