Another week races by..

Another week, another signing - we welcome Ben Dragovan to our Aztex family. He already knows some of the guys so I'm sure he'll settle in well. Meanwhile, Miguel is in Monterrey for two weeks of training with the 'striped ones' - a great opportunity for him.

We went to Cuatros on Saturday to watch Stoke City take on Portsmouth. It was great to catch up with members of Chantico's Army and also share some banter with some Chelsea and Arsenal fans. It's great to see Stoke doing so well - as someone posted on Facebook, this time last season we were on 26 points, 19th place and with a -19 goal difference. This season, we are on 34 points, 11th place with a -3 GD - progress indeed. It was also great to see Everton put 3 past Man Utd! The only sorry part of all this is poor Portsmouth - bottom of the league with bankruptcy looming. On a selfish note, it would also mean Stoke losing some well-earned points.

Everyone is keeping a very close eye on House Park (thanks Chris for the updated photo each week!) - on the quiet, we are hoping we will be able to move there for our first regular season game after all. Cross everything!

We have a small army of interns at the moment doing all kinds of tasks - working on creating a better match day experience, looking for potential new sponsors, making the players move into their apartments easier, etc. - we are very glad to have them!

Don't forget to cheer for Stoke again on Wednesday!
