FC PHUKET gets green for go in its assault on the Division One title tomorrow with the season's first match against Suphanburi FC.
Hopes are high that the Phuket ''Hulks'' can blitz the Division One teams the way they performed so well in Division Two last season.
It will be former Thailand veteran Surachai Jirasirichote's first game in charge as manager, and probably introduce some of the many new players who have joined the squad since last season.
The first match, an away game, begins at 4.30pm. First fixture at home - Surakul Stadium in Phuket City - comes against Rajpracha on Saturday, February 26, at 6pm.
