18 June 2008

Hi there. Idle Diary here again, filling in while your regular Diary spends another day contemplating the beauty of an honesty box by the work photocopier.

Believe the SNOS headline here, and you'd think Alan Buckley was making like Ray Mears in his hunt for a new defender, examining the ground for telltale footprints so he could lure up another wild beast to join the already captured Robbie Stockdale. Stuart Watkiss reveals to the local rag that it's not one but two defenders Town are tracking. After the management team's talks with the unnamed players, Groovy Stu is as optimistic as Kenneth Parcell. He is also keen to dispel the notion that he and Buckers have been a bit slack so far this break: "We are very aware that we conceded too many goals last season. We said we needed four or five players but we want these players to go straight into the team and make us better. We are working hard to make sure the team is competitive next season and I am confident it will be." Expect Stu to pop up in the UK version of 30 Rock any time soon.

The Football League has released a supporters' survey. The SNOS's summary of the survey does not mention its findings on the heinous crime known in the courts as Friday night football, nor how these national results compare to the opinions of your more localised Town faithful. But, hey, that'd mean a tuned-in press and marketing department that sees beyond just shifting shirts. Read it for yourself, dear reader, if you care, and let us know what you think. Actually, just let us know anyway. Come on! Town have signed a player and we're going to reveal the number one goal later on. You must have something to say...
