I too found the lack of comment on the new manager interesting. It may be apathy or it may just be supporter exhaustion. Since the start of The Troubles, the club has gone through numerous managers and vast numbers of players. On at least two occasions the club seemed to be getting somewhere, only for the manager to depart.

Staines do not have a huge supporter base, but they have been loyal. But even the most loyal struggle when the poor times never seem to end. The issues with the ground and landlords doesn't help either. Neither does not having played a game for 6 months, with 2 months of inaction still to come.

With pre-season poking its head over the far horizon and with a new man at the helm, we should start seeing some new faces at the Lane, together with some friendlies. I suspect then that we will see some sort of resurgence of enthusiasm.
