Not interested in Craig huby what - so - ever

Stu Raper had Cas firing and performing at 100% from every single guy that took to the field. Great years. Think he knew mid 2000/1 that there was no money to further the squad. Otherwise, we’d have been top dogs. Dale Fritz was a great signing.

I tend to think it was the Macdonalds.
Still got one of the flags.

it was a site to behold all those flags all round the ground a bet a number of the kids who waved them have become the supporters of today, my son used to take two little stools for two of my granddaughters to stand on

Same here....never understood why we changed his name on his return playing for Wakey. He’s a complete tool

Huby was very young when he first played in the first team in the years we had him I don't think he ever let us down one particular game Craig forced a draw or gave us a win at Weldon Rd against high flying Bradford in the dying seconds, when he was let go I think he wanted an extended contract but at the time I believe he was suffering with a back problem hence his departure

Wish we had someone like the Mc Donalds for todays games they knew how to market a game and get the kids interacting too - my 2 sons used to love match day it wasnt just watching the cheerleaders in those days.
