Pre-season is done and dusted, optimism is high (for the most part) and most importantly, competitive football is back at Brunton Park!
There’s been plenty happening off the pitch over the last month, so we get stuck straight into all the latest news before turning our attention to Saturday's opener against Worthing - can United get off to the perfect start and see off last season's National League South champions? How will Rob Elliot have the Blues line up for his first match in charge? And will Adam manage to stop mixing up Josh Williams and Josh Emmanuel by the end of the episode? (spoiler - no).
Lots discussed in this episode, including:
📰 News Update: New signings, contract extension, chief executive appointed & the new away kit drop
