So, what has this year's pre-season build-up taught us?

With just one pre-season game to go against a Hinckley United team that has been raped of it's star players, as well as Andy Hall, by Corby, just what do we know about the Poppies vintage 2010-11?

  • Firstly, we know, given the, ahem, dimensions of our returning heroes, they have enjoyed a very good summer.
  •  
  • We know that most of our signings didn't have to check our location out on their sat-navs before coming here.
  •  
  • Even in a tracksuit, sitting in the stand, Moses looks our most potent goal threat.
  • 'onestly Gaffer, ze plane was, how you say, delay. 
  • We know we can beat ANYBODY, providing they are French trialists or the Chairman's XI.
  •  
  • We are left with the distinct impression that JP goes like a bunny.
  • Ashley Westwood looks angry and humourless.
  • Brett looks a bit more ginger than when he went to Corby!
  • We are probably still going to be playing in red, but this is yet to be proved.
  • Supporters without season tickets will still have to queue twice to get in.  An idea that hasn't miraculously become a good one since last term.
  • Most of Rockingham Road still appears to be standing (we'll check again after the visits of Luton and Darlington)
  • Imraan's taking a big financial gamble on us this year, which hopefully he will see through....
