Trading?!

Thought that might have been Rob Hall. Comley isn’t named as a player though.

I suspect the ground maintenance has been contracted out for the season. Just hope in the short timescale available we can get a decent surface. Will need a lot of watering for new grass to grow so if we get a prolonged dry spell I hope our irrigation system is up to the job!

Why is the club ‘excited to announce?’ This is just telling us that they will tell us something next month.

Ah yes, we lost 7-2 at Maidstone on his debut. We could have lost 14-2. Finney was pretty unimpressive that day and hardly played again.

Eastbourne are going full time and will be throwing a lot more money at the squad. Will be interesting to see who rocks up there.

Not sure why the 3G and floodlights could not go ahead as a separate project. The benefits of doing so seemed clear so maybe there have been some issues with those. The club were obliged to submit a Community Access Plan as a condition of the PP but not seen anything published so could that be an is...
