The first exciting signings of the season have arrived, Peter Thorne and Barry Conlon. Two experienced strikers that will no doubt be leading the front line next season for BCFC.
When players are described as 'experienced' it generally means 'old bastard' or 'played for every other club in the football league'. I must admit that I am not a fan of Peter Thorne, but he may be suitable for basement level football - I think he only scored 2 goals all last season so not exactly a great record. He has changed hands for big money in the past though so maybe this will be one last hurrah for the 34 year old. I can't see him being as prolific as Windass, however, he will probably cause a lot less problems on and off the field.
Conlon has played over 300 games so again he can be tagged as experienced which is probably what you need at fourth division level.
We must now have a squad of 8 full time professionals; at least they can now have 4-a-side in training. I think training last week must've involved canoeing across the training pitch as it was heavily flooded. They might actually get to kick a ball about this week.
Lets hope we get a new goalkeeper and some midfielders in the door this week.
