Groundhop Sticker Albums - Yes they are finally here, after an epic journey the much anticipated batch of Groundhop Sticker Albums were delivered and collected on Thursday evening.  League Development Officer, Gary Langley said of the arrival "I can only apologise for the delays in getting these out to clubs who have requested them, they have proven very popular.  We had to wait a while for them to be produced and then it took a while to get them delivered.  Anyway, they are now in the process of being despatched to clubs and they should arrive shortly.  Any individuals requiring stickers from visits to ground who were not able to produce a sticker on the night or who need an album should drop me a quick email to gary.langley@nwcfl.com."
