Broadcast messages Ian Moes, Saturday Morning FC: «The board of SMFC takes issue with the recent statements from the Supporters Club. The suggestion that we will only spend money on fancy foreign names is completely incorrect. Why only last week we signed an overrated, over-the-hill English player just like the supporters want. Mike the Knight would even rival England's Brave John Terry for pure Englishness. As for criticism of the lack of spending on The Park, well Mr Stone should check his facts. Just this summer we carried out a state-of-the-art renovation of the Chairman's Lounge, that now provides a level of service and luxury that is as good as any in the League System. Having said all this, it is clear that Mr Stone is just having a bit of a joke - made clear by his ridiculous request for Bovril. Ha ha h ha. Next the supporters will be demanding crazy things like wins. Ha ha ha ha ha.» 3. Apprentices discovered None. 4.

With great efficiency, they won by four, thus breaking Serial Killers' perfect home record with impressive style.
