Jon Gibbes Company Secretary

In my excitement I set up the header as Company Secretary but I've just bumped into Jon (at Sainsbury's of all places) and he has confirmed that his job will be Club Secretary which has its own job description. He is upbeat!

Away Kit?

I'm a happy bunny deep down, and, as I voted for the winning away kit choice, I'll probably wear that to games home or away!

Ghastly, if true. It looks like an American prison tunic.

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.
