My own personal opinion is that if i was with a team that got relegated I think I would feel obligated to stay the next season to try get promoted again or at least to try stabilise the club,this is not a dig at the star lads because as i said its all rumours at this stage,but if lads were to leave it could ruin the club as they would struggle IMO to get a decent enough squad in to survive 1a.This goes for summeville to but I haven't heard much speculation regarding them
Any opinions on this?

Confirmed tonight that Pat Boland and Windy Hogan will take charge of Star Rovers next season.
All of last season's squad trained tonight (with the exception of Pa Barry), along with a few new faces.........
One or two players that signed B forms last season will also be going back on A forms this season.......

Not going to say who the new faces were just yet.
Yes, Shane was there.
I'll more than likely stay.

but will Pa sign,he's injured at the moment,is this why he was absent

**Philbert** · 16/07/2008, 4:14 PM

That would be a great boost for star if Pa signed.

Any news on that new club house that was being talked about abbey?

I heard the same rumour about Clarkey............nice guy, good player but haven't seen him for a while...and he wasn't training last night with us, so I'm not sure yet.

Ger Collopy says he is giving a good go this season with Star (and trained last night) and Robbie Carey has also given his word that he will sign with Star (attended training last night), so it looks like they'll fight it out for the No.1 Jersey, but Collopy will have his work cut out.........
Graham can concentrate on fighting for his place outfield for a change this season (if he signs), and that can only help him.

New lights going in over the next 2/3 weeks for training down in lee estate, and from what I heard at last weeks meeting, there will be a new astro surface available in lee estate for parish teams to use, by end of February.
