John Prescott and John Alty didn't get the credit they deserve for the effort they put in. John P stood aside to allow John A to be chairman. John P was a true "custodian" chairman, as he simply didn't have access to the finance to move the club forward's ( neither did anybody else!)

John Alty had the drive, had access to raise and borrow money ( mainly to improve the pitch) then improve the clubhouse so the club could improve income. Sadly John wanted instant success on the field which resulted in numerous late night Board meetings. The outcome of some was a cut in the managers budget and at the next one another sacking/ resignation!!
