TOMMY LAWSON IN POSITIVE MOOD
By Neil Leatherbarrow
“I am really looking forward to next season I think we will have a good side together by the time it starts.” Not the words of a reporter but the words of Skelmersdale United manager Tommy Lawson speaking this week about the prospects for next season at Stormy Corner.
Tommy took his time to reel off a list of names that are in discussion to sign for Skelmersdale United during the next few weeks. As usual we have had to keep them under wraps until Tommy gives us clearance to make them public, but they really are impressive, with a defender and a forward who are sure to thrill regular Skem supporters.
Not many have left Skelmersdale either, Tommy Lawson adding; ”We haven’t actually released anyone, they all will be made welcome when we return to training on Friday 1st July.” Skelmersdale having their first pre-season game against Accrington is set for mid-July so they will be worked hard before they start.
A point for Skelmersdale supporters to note is that the Evo-Stik League won’t be announcing their fixtures until July, even if the Premier League will have announced their fixtures today.
