First Few Building Blocks Put In Place

Our new Military Junta Management Committee has had something of a baptism of fire.  Club relegated, Owner walks out, throwing the keys to Latimer Park casually over his shoulder as he leaves.  They then have an open meeting to lower already low expectations ahead of the coming season to somewhere in the region of nil.  And then the Manager quits.  All played out in front of the least forgiving audience in football - us lot.

Today though seems to have marked the start of a bit of a fight-back.  Within a couple of hours this afternoon the club have announced the most generous season ticket deal in living memory AND named a new Manager.  Along with roughly 100% of our supporters I have no prior knowledge of Andy Leese, but he has already earned my respect by having the decency to be older than me.  I thought the days of having Managers with the good taste to be born before me were long gone.  All we need now is for Ken Samuel or Mick Coe to take on the role of Generalissimo Chairman and both Chairman and Manager will be older than me.  The last time that happened was under the leadership of Mallinger and Morris....!

And, never mind what hot garbage Leese and his team serve up to us next season.  Thanks to an excellent Season Ticket offer, we could all be watching a season of pants football at A THIRD OFF LIST PRICE!  Never mind the quality, feel the discount.

Other than Imraan's suicidal season ticket give-away down at Nonce Park, the current early bird offer is the best pre-season deal I can recall the club offering.  Certainly better than in recent seasons where if you missed a couple of games you ended up paying more than if you paid every week on the gate.  And the first dibs on tickets for big FA Cup matches wasn't exactly much of a bonus....

"Awright my sahn, how they hangin?"

"Goo on me ol' beauty. 
Shent.  Kent.  Wunt. 
Teking me dug down the gitty an' up to
the gaaarden fields fer a shit later."

"Riiiiight........?"
