Maybe we should have a little pre-season friendly competition. We play a few local teams anyway during pre-season - maybe we can convince them to make it a round robin and award the winners the Paul Baker Trophy. This is a way of recognising PBs legacy until there is a new stand (with no corporate ties) to name after him.
Could even see the County Cup can be renamed, or if FGR would be up for having the aggregate winners of our two league games awarded the trophy, etc.
Just a left-field idea.
