SOme players dont want to play for the hometown club as the fans turn on them like ours did with Radney

Depends how they perform I suppose. I don,t recall the, sadly late Mick Hogan T Bilsbury or the incomparable John Woods getting much stick from the fans. Course we had a lot more fans then. There are also numerous other local born Leythers who also were much appreciated for their performances.

The BIG difference this time round is Rowley being the coach, Penky is his mate and i'm sure Rowles can talk him into joining his revolution

Penky is also very big mates with Matt Calland aswell.

Probably go to Barrow - that's where everyone else seems to be headed!
