New First Team Coach Announced

Fans will be askin whether or not this appointment will at last lead to some stability on the Coaching front at the club, something sadly lacking so far this season.

The club have finally made the announcement of who will be the new first team coach.

There were plenty of rumours flying around at the time of both Dave Merrington and Stewart Houston's appointments, names such as Graham Rix and Keith Curle being mentioned.
This time, though, the rumour mill has been quiet, apart from people spreading the one about Dion Dublin being seen at the ground.

Now we know the probable lack of speculation surrounding the post, as, for once, it isn't a new appointee.

Mick Halsall, the Youth Team Coach, has, at last got the promotion his work with the under 17's and under 19's deserves.

Congratulations, Mick!
