It’s been one that hasn’t been straight forward at all. We’ve had plenty of moaning along the way including many debates over our management (more earlier on in the year), the saga of selling our captain Dean Hammond, our early January blip in which we lost to Mansfield in the cup, unusually low home attendances, the high profile departures of Bas Savage and George O’Callaghan along with plenty of other issues that have arisen.
