Two Weeks To Season Opener


With two weeks to go to the season opener, Martin Foyle has hit the 18 man mark he intended to sign up for the coming season.

That was the budgeted figure he was planning to work with although it is unclear whether he has actually exhausted his budget or that, even, if further funds have been sourced.

There could yet be up to £50,000 coming from the sale of Mathieu Manset to the Swiss club Sion. While the fee remains undisclosed, well placed sources are putting a £750,000 value on the move. However, similar claims were made about his loan to China that proved to be false.

Season ticket sales are also reported to have been encouragingly strong, with a good number sold after the early bird discount period ended.


Meanwhile, Premier Sports have taken the odd move of going back in time to advertise the Bulls' opening match with Macclesfield. The picture they have chosen to illustrate the event is from a previous televised tie at Edgar Street - in 1999.

On that day, the Bulls beat FA Cup opponents Hartlepool 1-0 with Rob Elmes scoring the goal. Bulls' physio Ian Rodgerson was on the bench.
