Welcome to the fourth edition of the CFCnet magazine, and my first as the bona fide editor of this esteemed organ. We make no apologies for the distinctly 80s feel about the place, though we did manage to restrict references to the dodgy haircuts of the time to Mark Worrall’s excellent piece on terrace apparel from down the years.

Just in case you think we’ve turned into a fashion magazine, you can cast a less than wistful eye over some landmark games from the time that many forgot, with a look back at Grimsby away in 83/84 and five opening summer sizzlers from the 80s.

The summer feel continues as we cast a beady eye over the likely comings and goings in this year’s Silly Season. We round off the retro feel with a look back over last season, and offer an end-of-term assessment of the team and wonder just how
much harder they could have tried.

Just when you think it couldn’t get any better, our man with the Dictaphone - quiet at the back - Toby Brown, manages to score no less than three interviews. A brief chat with Kerry Dixon, an explanation from Jason Cundy about what really happened on the coach back from Sunderland, and the jewel in this month’s crown is no less than an interview with Chelsea’s Communications and Public Affairs Director, Simon Greenberg, offering an excellent insight into the daily running of the club. You’ll be able to settle a few arguments in the pub after reading this one.

Enjoy the summer, even if does mean taking your brolly with you everywhere. It’s going to be a sizzler.
