Newcomers to the forward line are: W. H. Warnes (outside right), formerly of Working Town and an amateur International, who spent last season as a professional with the Arsenal; Vinall, who, after making a name with Folkestone. had eighteen months in the ser- vice of Sunderland; T. Pike (in- side or outside left) formerly of Southend; and R. E Thompson, a nineteen-year-old player who has been with Hartlepools United

The defence is expected to be the same as at the end of last season.

Directors and shareholders dur- ing the close season have been much troubled as to the future home of the club. The" directors were equally divided on the ques- tion of whether the club should Stay at The Nest, where they have been since 1903, or move to Boun- dary Park on the city, boundary. Problem Settled
