Re: We have some of the best fans

Good to see the interest from the youngsters

Our fan base appears to be growing with the introduction of Kompany and his attractive style of football it as really caught the interest of old and young, if we get promoted this time I can see our season ticket sales being over subscribed

Considering 3/4 of the back four that started on Tuesday are loan players, I’d like to get a few of them signed up ready for next season rather than starting afresh again.

We need to use what little money we have on strengthening the squad on newbies not existing loan players
