    I've got to comment. Just can't hold back anymore lol. I'm James mum, it's been a great experience to see my boy with this amazing team and mission. Knowing James he won't stop here, he will be plotting a new challenge I'm sure. Good luck Russ and the team, you have inspired us. We've loved the banter. KRO. The BCFC top will be framed and hung with pride now.
