Bloody great signing, absolutely thrilled, Poke is in my opinion the best we could have hoped for. I remember going to Bury at the end of the 2009/10 season(1st may to be precise). Bevan was out injured and Poke had an injury but had no sub keeper, he played the entire match through the pain barrier and Nico took the goal kicks it was that bad, but he helped us preserve our clean sheet record, albeit it carried on to the next season, we won the match 3-0 and ended Burys playoff hopes, great atmosphere we even had the congo after Rendells injury time goal. The point being he is dedicated, hard working and a nice guy.

If Eunan decides to stay the spine of the side is looking pretty strong, bring on the new season

Totally, utterly, completely delighted at this news. Welcome back Pokey!!!

Excellent news! Things are looking up. Well done, everyone.

You mentioned Bevan and dodgy kicking in the same paragraph and the two weren't linked! Lol!

As you can guess, we're chuffed to bits with this signing.

Lol Poke might not get much distance on his kicks but he's better than Bevan. He's got the strangest technique and ice comes back on the ball from his drop kicks

Poke is definitely one of the best L2 keepers when fit.

i would give a big thankyou to kenny veysey and possibly martin rice who probably had a hand in advising m.l having already worked with him.....good team effort

Thrilled to bits by this news... is the beginning of the elusive consoldation ....

Are you Brucie in Disguise!

What a fantastic signing!

I love Martin Ling, isn't it great to have some signings where we aren't delighted about the quality of the loanee we've just got for 3 months?

Well thats a quality signing if ever there was one.

Got rid of the best keeper in League 2, and have now signed the best keeper in League 2.

Another great signing Lingy , said all the way along their was no need to be negative, when will some ever learn.
