Re: Best Day’s Fishing

A drift boat down the Clinch river in Tennessee. Fly fishing for wild rainbows. Caught quite a few but the beautiful surroundings and great company made for a special day.

Special mention to the day I caught a sailfish off Aruba. Exhausting work but the fish was a beauty.

Re: Optimistic or Pessimistic about the forthcoming season ?

I'm pessimistic in that if we don't bring in a couple more players then I can't see us doing anything other than finishing bottom 5. I don't think this necessarily means we will be relegated but the small, aging squad isn't capable of much more than survival. More signings like Collins would be real...

Re: ARTICLE: Casper makes second signing as pre-season starts

I have a soft spot for Steve Harper. Like all wingers he was inconsistent but every season there was a 5 game purple patch where he was very good. One of the best goals he scored was against Aldershot and it subsequently got wiped from the record books.
