Cheers as usual Sticky. Nice to hear the Staunton Arms is still in business as I used to love a bite and a pint there a few years back!

Great read, used to go and watch Ilson when a mate played for them in the 70's nice to see AH's investment doing OK....even though he might be losing money...

Big test next season if they go up to the Midland League Premier Division as there are some strong sides in there, so may need some experienced players in key positions. Great feel about the place, and really pleased for the supporters as they are proper football folk who have suffered more than most, until Alan Hardy stepped in. Definitely re-visiting one Tuesday night later in the season.
