Hope all you patriots will be waving your union flags supporting our lad this Saturday...

Just Farage by another name.

Though maybe that's unfair - at least he's been elected...

..to a pub brekkie then another match day meeting, mingling and mixing with massed ranks of fellow Town fans before and after a sold out game.

To finally drawing a line under what Carson and Co did to us.

To a summer where we can proudly wear our colours.

To eyebrow raising signings.

To the fixture lists coming out.

To days out at Notts and Donny.

To another sold out and sun-drenched Tairn grairnd hosting our long awaited return.

And most of all I'm looking forward to driving down Sheffield Road and not seeing 'National League' on that sign advertising our next match...

My head says PC is offering squad players an opportunity.

My head says it's top class man management.

My head says most of those fielded today won't be Town players next season.

But my heart still grieves at watching us lose to another outfit who, metaphorically, are a five or less bloke having a one night stand with a nine or more lass 'cos she's had a few too many.

Make no mistake - Kiddie fans (literally, given so much of their pubescent behaviour) will be bragging 'We've had them!' as they watch us every week in the EFL.

Back to reality, though. Stockport knew what they were doing releasing Palmer. A high standard National League player who'll have no problem gettting a contract at another high standard National League club.

Same applies to Jeff King.

Clements too will easily get a deal at that level.

Freckleton? Still a lot to learn.

Oldaker ditto in terms of consistency. I can see a loan.

Hobson? He might've been a star at Kiddie but way down our pecking order. Another NL loan next season.

Curtis behind him.

Banks. Ollie Banks. Superb footballer. Played a huge role in our success. A genuine Town pedigree. Yet...

..I wonder if he'll get more first team football elsewhere. Even if that's at a different L2 club.

Joe Quigley's a cult figure scoring a laudable double figures largely from the bench. We all love his application and passion. However these last few games confirm why he is a last twenty man. An even more bit part player in the future. So a possible money move instead? I'd pat him on the back and wish him every success if so.

Jonesey has more than earned his place in CFC history. Sadly Father Time dictates we need a younger version.

All that said I have faith in Paul Cook to do the right thing. As he's improved our club every year since returning. As he did before.

It's frustrating. Irritating. Embarrassing, even. Though these games we're now watching are, in a sense, getting a head start on our next campaign...

..to one and all.

Or more accurately, international Islamophobia Awareness Day.

You decide...
