please can we have a list who have put pen to paper.thank you. Signed on contractLuke Cairney Jamie Whisken Harry Hutchinson Jack Dickson Corby Moore Cam Murray Wes Fogden Luke Pardoe Tony Lee Toby Holmes I've got a feeling Dec Rose has signed on too but can't find anything at the moment. That's pretty much a first XI though who are on contract, bodes well.

I think there was a lot going on at the time and it looks like I didn’t get round to posting it on the website - sorry 😞

The Club is delighted to announce the signing of 22 year old midfielder @luke_Nippard
Luke spent last season with Weymouth and came up though the AFC Bournemouth age group teams. He is very highly rated and we were not without competition for his signature.

As one Luke, Nippard arrives, another departs. Luke Holmes has signed for Shaftesbury.

Rumour squad at the end of last season were saying he had decided to hang up his boots. Personally I hope not, his best seasons may be behind him but he still gives 100% every game.

Ballboy!!. I remember Horace Cumner!! Started off with the Town as #11 on the left wing: then he was converted to a
half back I think by Stan Rickaby and played some great games for us there! Heres the starting lineup from memory
Kirk, Rickaby Drinkwater(OWZAT for his offside calls! McCourt Martin Cumner ? hobbs Gillet Mannion Oosthuizen, that is
from memory circa 1956??
I hope soneone at Richmond Hill microfiched those old Football Echos!!
I knew he was a Welsh International but I have to admit shock when i found out that his appearance(s?) were in 1939

Yes that was the mid fifties. I also remember and admired Horace Cumner and especially Johnny Kirk (he was goalie for a lot of years followed, I think, by Chris Conway), Bill Gillett, Stan Rickaby (of course) and the great Wilf Mannion. If you can get your hands on a copy of John Powell's book, "Poole Town Football Club 1890-2005", on page 42 and 43 there are photographs of Town teams from 1956 and 1957. Along with most of the names you've highlighted expat are players such as Keith Allan, Len Phillips and Bobby Barker. That was about the time Poole topped the Western League (a rather stronger league then than it is today) and got into the Southern League - then one step down from the Football League. Happy Days at The ground that dare not speak its name!

The days when the players wore boots that covered the ankle and had big solid toe caps. The ball made of leather and when it was wet soaked up the water and weighed a ton, not to mention the lace up opening on the ball you hoped you didn't catch when you headed the ball. Some matches played on a pitch covered in mud in the goal mouths, centre circle, oh! and if I remember correctly goalkeepers wearing flat peak caps when facing into the sun, no gloves only when the ball was wet. I have often heard it mentioned that yesterday's players wouldn't be as good today in the present game but I wonder how today's players would fair in the old type set up of yesteryear.

How true Ballboy. Injured during the game.? Patch up and post out on the wing, if that was not possible down to 10 men No Subs! I will never,ever forget Colin Osmond, blood streaming down his face,half patched up with a bandage playing a heroic role at Watford. Having said that I do admire the fitness and ability to play in systems of the modern game. Great ball players like Eddie Grey and Harry "Puskas' Merritt would be left standing still Let's get out to a great table topping start and stay there for 2023/2024!!

I remember Harry Merritt and Eddie Grey, but I think with todays modern training fitness ect. one or two of those Western league league players back then would get a place in todays side I won't mention names.

Just to get this thread back on track (with apologies to all you misty eyed pensioners! ) As far as I can gather the squad now looks like this Signed on contractLuke Cairney Jamie Whisken Dec Rose Harvey Wright Will Spetch Harry Hutchinson Jack Dickson Corby Moore Luke Nippard Cam Murray Wes Fogden Luke Pardoe Alefe Santos Tony Lee Toby Holmes Will Fletcher (loaned back to Hamworthy) Looking at the video on social media of training there are a few other faces there as well, some old,some very old (sorry Mickey!! ) and some new that I didn't recognise. Not sure if anyone can shed any light on who the other players are that are training with us or might be here as non-contract players when the season starts?

Along with Will Butler, that’s 16 plus youngsters.
One or two more would be great, but imagine we’ll bring in loan players throughout the season too.
