Despite the increasing likelihood that we are going to be operating with a skeleton playing staff and the lack of news about new shirt launches, season ticket availability etc emanating from the club, I'm starting to get a little bit excited now. I know it's been said so many times it's almost a cliche now, but ten years ago I wouldn't have dared to dream that we'd be starting our third season back in the league in 2008/09.
...and I really am looking forward to visiting that real ale pub in Burslem for the first away league match!
