Strange set up, strange design. No details of membership...
Last few times v Guiseley:
Always seem to be tough opponents We never seem to wallop them, but then they never seem to wallop us, either. Have been memorable in recent seasons largely for their previous Manager, Phil Starbuck, who seemed to shout and ball about everything to the bewilderment of almost everybody else in the ground. Last time at Fort Nethermoor he used the f-word quite a lot and kept calling people what my Mum would call 'rude' names. I don't think I liked him very much, and he didn't even seem to like himself, which really is no good for you at all...
News from the close season:
Lost ace goalscorer, Adam Muller to....errr....us, actually!.. and their huge loss is our huge gain.
Massive close season changes at the club with a change of Manager and a change of Chairman (following a, sort of, pretty big take-over deal) and squad changes to rival our own with only two players from last season remaining at the club.
Pre-season friendlies have seen defeats againt a Leicester City XI, Mansfield Town, Retford and Hucknall Town whilst last Friday evening saw a 3-1 win against what their website described as a 'youthful Nottingham Forest side' - so that'll be the juniors plus the ballboys and their mates...Not a very good pre-season, really...
What we do think of them and/or how much do they annoy us?:
Not much and not much. (Hope we haven't upset Adam Muller with any of this nonsense!...)
What's their Forum like?
Unofficial, but within the (also unofficial) White Ball Project website thing. Seems to be lacking in a bit of humour and, well, everything really...It's certainly not the worst Forum, but neither is it Imp Stalk, or even a certain Forum not at all very far from here...
Likely prospects this season:
Slightly less industrial encouragement from the dug-out, and no more goals from a certain Mr Muller, but unlikely to go down whilst almost certainly no real threat to any of the really fancied clubs around the top. Mid table finish at the very best.

Well, I only just managed to stay awake through all of that...Let's see if the next one might possibly be any better...
