Candyman in the UK

[harry]

ooo just seen about Gareth Candy taking over as the Start squad manager, congrats to him on getting the job & to BO for finding someone who can fill Helen (& Nick's) shoes - a tough job I'm sure.

I wish I was a junior still!
No but seriously the World Class programme staff line up is looking better all the time with Fiona, Liba, Heather & now Gareth.

& before Didsco chips in with something about it being better looking..
1. I meant in the coaching sense
2. He's a married man now!
3. Are you saying Peely, Muzza & Derek aren't easy on the eye?...

Harry > I'll admit Candyman and the girls are pretty hot, but if they want to win the premiership they gonna have to sign up you and Minna Kauppi

On the other hand if they want to get relegated to the East Grimsby Pub league division 5 they could sign up Ben Dover and BJ.....

Personally i prefer a dark rugged Scotsman (with my crush on Minna a close 2nd)... but I wouldn't be surprised if the standard of British W16s goes up as they fight it out for start squad spots..

[DIDSCO]

I prefer Swedes myself, but there's never any harm in a bit of window shopping.

....being serious BOF have made a great decision selecting Gareth for the job, he's a top man who knows his stuff and he's got loads of enthusiasm, and like you say it's going to be a great time to be in the start and potential squad...not just for the girlies

That has to be good news... not only for the Start Squad but the Juniors as they prepare for JWOC in Oz... a bit of good inside info I suspect:)

Thanks everyone, its great to be made to feel welcome. I'm really looking forward to coming over and getting started.

When do you start gareth?

It looks like I should be at the FCC Middle and Long Finals on the 21st and 22nd of April. If I can make it, it will be a great chance to meet the juniors and a lot of the coaches I will be working with.
