So, whats going down, then.....
Well, the roster is looking good. 12 Brits already (11 if Farmer gets a spot in the US from his trial), some solid new names (Duggan, Holland), and a good core of returnees (Boothroyd and both Woods stand out for me). Foney has been given another season to prove himself, which I feel is the least we could do given the circumstances (playing whilst seriously injured). All we need to do now is sort out some quality imports....
Off ice, there are some interesting changes. The new sponsors block has caused a few upsets, but the club has in all fairness done everything it can to lessen the impact, including offering a free upgrade to the all new 'Gold Seating' block. Which is another new development at the rink. Comfy seats, private bar... for £2 extra a game. And by all accounts its proving popular.
And the off ice staff has had a change too, with a new addition to the team...ME!
Yes, I have joined the team as the 'internal communications officer'. Which means that its my job to do all the stuff that Tambo used to do as Fan Liason (plus a little bit more). So, anyone got any gripes, or quations they want answering through the forum, or on match nights, ask me (or expect me to answer them at any rate). And don't worry, the blog will continue. Oh yes, it will continue.... On top of that i will also be working as a 'Block rep' on match nights.
And finally, I am standing for election to the Supporters Club board on June 3rd too, so come down to the meeting (Cresta Court Hotal, Thurs 3rd June, for a 7.30pm start) and vote. And don't worry if you are not a SC member, as you can join on the night. Christ on a bike, I'm going to be busy!
