Season almost here. Been a while since I looked forward to the start of a new season with such a level of confidence.

Pity we will have to go into Barrow game underdone because of postponement of Ike game, Barrow will have had 4 games, albeit against League 1 opposition. so have had more opportunity to gel and sort out timing etc

Do we know who will be wearing the armband? My view would be Doran or King.

Is there any significance in the blank shirt 16? Is that Walker, Caine Barnes or possibly Karl Dixon.

Great unknown is how many teams might be relegated to balance the leagues out for season 25, if 2 are coming up from League 1 suggests 4 might be going the other way

My view is we should be looking at 6 - 8th in the League

Maybe Dixon.  Walkers at Barrow and by all accounts Barnes is signing bk on at Town

It was left open for Dixon depending on scan results on his knee.

I think he meant dalton Desmond - Walker who’s here next week.

Barnes is back at seaton trained with them The other night no interest in playing semi pro wants a year out

Dion has not missed a training session since he returned from PNG.

I wonder if we will see Ede the Eagle make his debut in Haven colours?

To be honest the results irrelevant, just need to get through the game with no injuries. I'd imagine the pitch will be a mud bath which will probably suit them.
