I wonder if the legend will be back driving the mini bus for the next away game.

The Official site says 'our thoughts are with the company' after a mini bus had caught fire. I thought this kind of sentiment was reserved for deaths and disasters.

I hope they are ok to phone the insurance company and arrange a replacement bus. RIP

Let's hope they are not waiting for useless Geoff Harrop to sort out a new bus for them. He's still figuring out what he wants for his lunch, three weeks ago.

I have heard that the club are to get a new team bus and indeed have agreed contracts with a new manager.

Unfortunately though it's a condition of the new managers contract that he has to be qualified to be able to drive the team coach and so the new guy will be away on a 2 months training course to get his PCV licence. :clown:

No words can express my sadness for the upholstery that must have perished in the fire and the suffering caused to seats that saw other seats burn to death in such a horrific way.

At this difficult time, I think we should all give our cars a hug and thank god we still have them in our lives.

Stay safe everybody.

Nowadays football clubs use the words "coach" and "manager" interchangeably.

I thought for a moment that our new manager had spontaneously combusted when GI told him he would be working for free on probation for 3 yrs !! :rules:

You can bet that they will use the opportunity to find a cheaper replacement.
