Last nights training session saw the introduction of new signing Craig “killer” McAuley to the squad (well kind of introduction – the gaffa basically said “this is Craig”). It was a baptism of fire for the new boy as club fitness coach Totty Sholeman put on a tough training session whilst chomping on a number 47 and a 28 from China Spice.

Young Seeton wins trainer of the week award for struggling with numbers and cones, he may have to put in some extra hours after training with the clubs (allegedly) cleverest player Andy Blackwell.

The squad embarks on it’s pre-season tour to Benidorm at 3am on Thursday morning and the gaffa will make sure the lads fluid levels remain topped up to avoid dehydration.

For the reserves, veteran defender Phil Littlewood put an end to weeks of speculation by signing on the dotted line. He will bring a wealth of experience and a bag of defenders dirty tricks, and will be a welcome addition to help strengthen the problem position of left back (with the club currently having 5 on their books!).
