Turner In Talks With Four More Players

Graham Turner told tonight's VP Club AGM that he was currently in talks with four more players over moves to Edgar Street.

As usual, Turner declined to name the players but indicated that they were currently plying their trade in the Premiership, Championship and two League Two sides. Turner suggested that the recent problems with older players and injuries meant that the players he was looking at were younger and "more ambitious".

Turner also revealed that initial fears of a hefty reduction in the capacity of Edgar Street were likely to be calmed. Initial discussions with safety officials suggested the capacity of Edgar Street could be as low as 6,200 for the coming season but, after further discussion and safety work, the final figure is likely to be only 500 under the current capacity.

The meeting was told that the VP Club handed over nearly £32,000 to the football club in the year ending May 31st, and the Vice Presidents membership fee for next season was set at £450.
