His on bail?

 

[Silencer]

You can leave the country on bail!!!

I hope Penney does stay, he is very experienced for a number 2 and seems like him and Brown are good mates and work well together.

You know his bail conditions then.

No, of course we shouldn't. There can be any amount of reasons why he wasn't in the photo and we don't know any of them. If there is anything newsworthy involving Penney it will surface soon enough without us guessing.

I said at the time, if he's found guilty of assaulting a police officer he's on a very sticky wicket regarding his continued employment.

One of the reasons could be that DP was taking the photograph:winking:

Not sure, was reported in our local press. Not sure how strong the team will be but the quote says the Manager at Brentwood is hoping we will bring a strong team, but with the game against Canvey the next day I assume it will more likely be the U-21's.
