It feels like this close season has lasted forever! A few pre-season friendlies to get the lads warmed up for the new campaign and a few new signings. Two of which, Nowakowski and Youhill, picked up injuries during the 5-2 away win at Harrogate RA but, hopefully, these are just minor knocks and will be back ready for the start of the season.
It’s also good to hear that Graeme Armstrong is back in training. Take it easy though Army! The new signings Rob Youhill, Adam Nowakowski, Kevin Burgess and Phil Turnbull look really good and I can’t wait to see them in a competitive game.
Off the pitch, talks are still ongoing between ourselves and the rugby club. It seems like there are some issues that still need to be resolved but I, for one, am confident that a mutually beneficial decision can be reached between the two parties.
The next meeting of the fans group will be Wednesday 12th August at 7pm in the Iron Horse, just three days before the season starts! As always, all are very welcome. As the move to Blackwell has been delayed for the time being we are focussing on the immediate fixtures and one of the things the group are doing is car sharing to games.
If you are interested in car sharing, either as a driver or fuel paying passenger, then please get in touch at dfcaycliffefans@outlook.com or via twitter @dfcaycliffefans. All enquiries will be in strictest confidence and the information we get will never be passed on to a third party. Other than that we’ll see you all at Buxton on the 15th. Keep the faith!
