PAUL Hurst hopes Craig Disley has the dilemma of whether or not to celebrate tomorrow.
The Town boss is backing his former Bristol Rovers star to handle the emotions of his return to the Memorial Stadium for the Conference's opening fixture.
And he hopes the midfielder will put on the kind of performance that will make the home faithful wish he was still one of their own.
He said: "I'm sure there will be plenty of emotions for Craig going back to Bristol Rovers tomorrow.
"I hope, and realistically I know that he's experienced enough not to get carried away with it all.
"There will be one or two old faces there that he still recognises from his time as a player and it will be nice for him.
"The fans down there certainly respect him and enjoyed what he did for their club as a player.
"Hopefully, tomorrow night they'll be wishing that they still had him because it will mean that he'll have had a good game and, in an ideal world, also scored one of his trademark goals from midfield.
"That would be the perfect scenario for me and I'm sure for Craig.
"Although, if he does score, he's then got the dilemma of whether to celebrate or not out of respect – let's hope he's got that decision to make."
He added: "It's not just Craig who's looking forward to the game tomorrow – I can't wait for it all to start.
"I've been looking forward to the season starting ever since we reported back to be honest.
"There will be a big crowd and of course it's on TV as well so we want to turn up and put on a big performance."
