Acting as his assistant will be Mike Skinner, who steps up after managing Spitfires' Reserve team for the last two seasons. Mike is an F.A. Level 1 coach.

Would moving kids' football to a summer game help improve the development of young footballers?
Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
