need to improve and play for 90 minutes.
We are starting to get a few of the missing

Billie Bursari should be back in light training

with Ryan Woodford, both these lads have been a
big miss for us and it will be like 2 new signings.
Last of all I would like to once again thank
all of you fans. The turnout for the Swindon game
was fantastic and it really does help. Our aim is to
get the crowd up to around the 1000 every match
and with your help and support we can do that.
Enjoy the game and get behind the lads!
