Now, we have new owners and the promise of sufficient investment to secure the club's financial stability (along with salaries and wages) for some time to come, and, notwithstanding the fans' mistrust of Gaming International, the prospects for the new year and 2017 suddenly look a little brighter. Will the players, with those weights lifted from their shoulders, respond accordingly? I've a feeling that they will, and what better time than our Boxing Day match against Forest Green Rovers.
But it's essential that we turn up in numbers and give the lads our full support. We did this at Plainmoor last year, and we won 4-1: However, in the return fixture on New Year's Day, FGR beat us 3-1. Despite this loss and subsequently being 13 points adrift at the bottom of the table, we eventually went on a fine run to avoid relegation, with the help of financial support from (we later learned) none other than GI..
The New Year could be the start of a successful new era for the club, but only if we help to make it so, with our full support of the team and of manager Kevin Nicholson.
Recent form (last six league games):
Gulls: loss (0-2 Guiseley A), draw (1-1 Wrexham H), win (3-0 Solihull Moors H), loss (1-2 Tranmere A), win (1-0 Dag & Red A), draw (0-0 York City A);
FGR: win (2-1 Aldershot H), win (1-0 Macclesfield A), loss (2-3 Lincoln H), draw (2-2 Tranmere H), loss (1-3 Wrexham A), draw (1-1 Dover H);
Of these last six games, FGR have played 4 at home, we have played 4 away! And the results suggest that we're definitely in with a chance!
This is a game not to be missed (k.o. 3 pm)..!!!
