Things have got a lot different around Priestfield since the Galinson takeover and Alex MacDonald has been loving every minute.

MacDonald has set up all three goals for newcomer Tom Nichols and has benefited by the extra quality around him. But it’s not just on the pitch where thing have changed since the influx of new players at the club. “When we go up for dinner there aren’t even enough tables and chairs,” joked the 32-year-old. “It’s a great place to be at, a real different feeling from top to bottom and not just the footballing department.

It's so nice to see because it has been so needed. “There has to be two groups in the gym now, it was quite comfortable to put 14 professional players in there, we have a good sized gym, but 26-27 players all doing a session is tough but now it works well, the sports science team have been brilliant.” Players also have to be sharp to get the parking spaces outside the stadium. “There have been a few parking tickets out there this week," he added.

MacDonald's enjoying having so many players around - especially good ones. He said: “I always try and do everything with a smile on my face but it is a very nice feeling coming in, looking around and seeing the quality in the changing room now.
