Re: Summer transfer window

I remember him coming on for the 2nd half in our home game and was surprised at his size and physique. Looked pretty good and caused us a few problems. Whether he could step up to the Prem would be my concern and he wouldn't be particularly cheap.

Re: STs on general sale

I gave up my season ticket after relegation last season but nothing to do with that or the football on offer. As I said, it was related to a personsal issue but I am now very glad to have a new season ticket and looking forward to going on again.
