    After this fantastic season I think promotion is a bit too much, key thing for me is keeping big val & building
    for next season & of course trying to keep most of our players. this has most probably been discussed already but I'm taking a bath in cider so please do forgive :)

    I cannot see us keeping Dike, and I reckon Mowatt will go too. But if we somehow do manage to go up that could change.

    As much as I don’t like to think about it I think Val will be gone if we don’t go up ,
    Well also lose a couple of players but not as many as some seem to think we will .
    However with our scouting and recruitment strategy I think we’ll be ok if we don’t get promoted .

    Unfortunately he’ll have lots of suitors courting him if we don’t go up imo.
    He’s ambitious and some offers will be too good to refuse imo as his stock is very high around the world with what he’s done here .
    I hope I’m wrong I have been known to be before :):) but I don’t think I will be sadly .
    What am I on about we going up he’ll be here next year:cool:

    Disappointing... I was expecting an update on The Bridge Formerly Known As Nudger's Bridge.

    If we don’t go up then Val will be gone, along with most of the players, Dike, Brittain, Styles, Mowatt & probably Woodrow. So a season of rebuilding & probably struggle. That’s reality.
