Looking for a goalscorer who "excelled at amateur level" doesn't inspire optimism but with the "facilities" being refurbished as they are - at least some policy is becoming clear - and it's hamming together.

The "Organic growth" philosophy is beginning to show itself - but boy are cutting back the Shrubbery!

The talk of Premiership was marketing hype - but only hype - a good marking plan has a financial side to it and last year particularly.....the hype was far greater than the financial package put to one side to support sales and marketing forecasting.

This year is different - we're going low !

Money gone in for infrastructure - albeit modest - but modest is good - modest works for me.....

This is like a start up business....aiming for organic growth and ploughing money back into the club ( CUP RUN PLEASE ).

You can cut the shrubs back too far though and ruin the plant....that "wisdom" comes from experience....TS has learnt his lessons....no more chemical fertilizer on his crops.....a couple of years of well rotted manure and we'll be back on Gardeners World again.....it's the two head Gardeners that worry me a bit....nurturing cuttings up to full hardy plants is a skill our head gardeners haven't had experience of.....and that's THE MOST IMPORTANT THING....GROWING OUR OWN !

High risk but relatively low cost !

Manure it is then - for a couple of years....lol
