I just hope we dont give Long to much to do and just let him play his game

I think he will relish it, and do well. He will guide the team around the field.

No debate for me, Fitz everytime.

Long should have no responsibility in terms of captaincy or goalkicking, he should be left to play.

Ive got no complaints if its Long, he has proven in his career that he can play the game and captain the team and seems to thrive with the responsibility.

That's the key for me. If he does get the role it might just bring the very best of him out for us.

Obviously the players in contention have been asked about the job and if Long has got it then he obviously wants the job.
I am not too bothered who is the captain because we all know Fitz will still guide the players around and get on to them when it is needed regardless of being captain or not.

I think we have enough experienced 'leaders' on the pitch to not really worry who the official captain is. Long in the backs and Fitz, Radders and Cusack in the pack should ensure that we have leadership at all times.

captain will be announced on monday the 11th,not long to wait now.

Long is here on a 2yr deal whereas Fitz is a yr with a yr option...this may have a bearing on it if we dont keep Fitz then we have to look again.....since 2005 we have only had 2 captains and they may be looking at keeping that continuallity going...I would give it to Fitz but he will capt the forwards anyway....wouldnt suprise me if we have 2 capts on pitch.

Trust me it's Long with Radford club captain!!!

As long as the team show some bolloxs this season....they could have capt Manawring as capt

I never said who it will be i just said its to be announced on monday.

Bit of fun as we await the start of the hostilties! Here's a question!

It looks like the club wll be announcing their new captain at a Press conference on Monday afternoon, Who do you think it will be? Radders, Longy, Fitz, Horney, Cusack, the posibilities I guess go on and on!!!???????? But we will all soon know!! I honestly have no idea but who do you think it will be!

Fitz fits.

Agree Fitz fits...but hearing strong noises that it is Longy

Wouldn`t be surprised t.b.h., Either will kick ass i.m.o.

I'm surprised with you lurking round corners and stalking players you haven't heard by now

. I'll save u the trouble, as I mentioned on the other captains thread it's Long with Radders club captain.

Would be disappointed if it wasn't Fitz.

I think Eric's got this one spot on.

About Wilf stalking players?

Disappointed if it's not Fitz. However, with Long here on a 2 year deal and not being spelled during a game, wouldn't be complaining. We'll have far more leadership available to us this year than last regardless.

Would love it to be Fitz, but the rumours I'm hearing are that it's going to be Long.
