Town have signed two Dutch teenagers from from Ajax. Guillermo Graaven and Nabil Abidallah are both eighteen and are schoolboy internationals. Manager George Burley said of the two: "I feel, given time to develop, they could play an important part at the club abd progress into first-team regulars" The two players have signed two-year professional deals.

Former Town full-back Colin Harper, now a builder in Town, has invented a new retractable front for Executive Boxes. This will allow Town's corporate followers to enjoy the same sort of atmosphere as all the proper football fans on the terraces. Expect complaints.
