We?ve got another very readable matchday programme on Saturday. Some of the highlights are:
| Page 2 | David Taylor on the Club?s plight and keeping the faith: ?Thank you for continuing to keep the faith and for getting behind the team in their time of need. It really does make a difference and we need you more than ever now.? |
| Page 3 | Phil Gilchrist on Tuesday night?s wash-out and his continuing search to strengthen the side: ?I?m continuing to look to see if I can strengthen the side but, at this stage of the season and in our situation, I need experienced players who can make an impact straightaway.? |
| Page 9 | Phil Yelland sets out the Barrow stats and facts |
| Pages 12-13 | David Holmes and John Moore observe (but not join in!) a training session: ? ?There?s real bullets in those guns, you know.? ? Not exactly the opening remark I expected on a visit to a Woking FC training session, but Neil Lyne was adamant. As was Phil Gilchrist when a couple of players, who?d been in Neil?s car with us, were a little sceptical.? |
| Pages 24-25 | Lewis Hulatt profiles new signing, Micah Hyde [pictured], tracing his career from Brimsdown Rovers to Kingfield |
| Page 28 | Greg Lewry brings us up to date on how other local sides are faring |
| Page 29 | Neil Bennett continues his superb account of the eventful 1996-97 season, including recalling Justin Jackson: ?Jackson was the kid at school who smells faintly musty and kept pungent fish-paste sandwiches in a Tesco carrier bag; he would be gone by the autumn.? Read on! |
| Page 37 | Rachel Formby continues her delightful KC?s motorway adventure |
| Page 40 | Lewis Hulatt continues his amusing account of the development of football, looking at the increasing codification of the game in the Victorian era: ?The year before the ?Thunderer? came on the scene, double-handed throw-ins had been introduced and, looking back, it is easy to see how, with the need to identify the place of throw-ins with pinpoint accuracy, the ref would need to blow up much more frequently than before. Indeed, it is a fine tradition upheld to this day.? |
And, of course, the rest of the programme is packed full with superb photos from David Holmes and all the usual reports and previews.
