It was 97-98. In 98-99 we wore the same kit but with compass sponsor.

It was definitely post 97.

We had a year when we changed the home kit in consecutive years but kept the same design. I think this was one of those 2. Possibly 98.

The amount of physical pressure they could exert for 90 minutes surprised me. It isn't pretty but they seem to have incredible energy considering how many games they've played. The pressing was still happening in the last minute. Not many teams will cope if they keep that up.

I think Benson gives us more than Hawkins anyway but it's just a question of whether his legs can do it. I assume he took him and Guttridge off in order to start them Monday.

Badge is still crap and childish.

Beer profit will take a long time to cover the outlay surely. Out of interest do we run that ourselves? As other catering is subcontracted for a fixed price. My point is more that I'd rather private money went on things we need or that help us become sustainable. This just seems like a sunk cost wit...

Still think it's a waste of money and don't see what it gives us. Bit more noise perhaps.

Bull was better than Perfect I think. Marginally.

Springett is a good shout.

When we went down to the Ryman we seemed to have a new player every week who was gone the next. Some of those looked barely above park level. One that stuck in my mind was Tony Reynolds who was so bad. The best one game wonder ever is probably James Ayres. Half a match away at Nuneaton, couldn't def...

Tomlin has nicked a living. So poor.

JS signed a bunch of those listed too.

Trying to work out which name amused me most. Passley I think.

If you need any idea how bad the league is look at how many goals Doidge has!

Hawks doesn't really move though or look for the ball in the channels. Not sure if he's told to stay central but we have very little outlet with him up there as he is so static. If the ball isn't within a few yards of him to head then it's coming straight back. With Benno off the bench recently we'v...

All part of the machine isn't it.
