CALNE Town manager Robbie Lardner says he wants to stay on with the
Toolstation League Premier Division club next season.
The Lillywhites have endured a frustrating campaign of mixed results, with
injuries and unavailability crippling the squad for long periods.
But despite the struggles Lardner is adamant he enjoys life at Bremhill
View.
When asked if he wanted to stay with Calne next season, Lardner said: "Yes,
definitely. It's a good club, the players are great and the committee do
wonders for a small club. I have no reason to go anywhere else.
"We had a frustrating season, there's no denying that. It's been pretty
tough but we're not a million miles away from being a decent side. We need
to strengthen in one or two areas, we know that."
Calne ended the season in 14th place after a 3-2 loss at home to Bideford.

The visitors led 1-0 at half-time and two quick goals after the interval
seemed to put the game beyond doubt.
But Calne came back strongly and efforts from Ben Moore and Dan Lardner
restored respectability to the scoreline.
Lardner said: "It was a decent game of football and I thought we played very
well.
"They turned up with a strong side and played some good football but we
matched them.
"We've had another sloppy couple of minutes in the second half, but we
recovered well and gave them a run for their money.
"The two lads up front caused us all sorts of trouble but we showed a lot of
character and hung on in there.
"We've had two really entertaining games against them, but they had that
little bit of extra quality up front which made the difference.
"It was a far better performance than against Ilfracombe Town a fortnight
ago and that was the important thing.
"It was disappointing we didn't get the draw but it was probably a fair
result at the end."
