Stafford Rangers boss ready to face former club

Stafford Rangers manager Greg Clowes insists he doesn't care what reception he will get when he returns to his former club Newcastle Town for the first time.

Clowes takes Rangers to the club he left in the summer after four years in charge in the FA Trophy first qualifying round tomorrow.

And a hostile reception could be coming his way not just for leaving, but for taking 12 players to Marston Road with him.

However, Clowes argues that should not take the shine off the success he achieved at the Lyme Valley Stadium, including two promotions.

He said: "I don't know what sort of reception I am going to get and I don't care. But I would expect some sort of respect, somewhere down the line."
