As such Ive now re budgeted for no expected income coming into the Club in the foreseeable future, which has meant no further contracts being handed out, as we would not have been able to honour that size of spend presently and I do not wish to run our football club like that.

"But it does feel that the Town will turn out for the bigger cup games and a derby against Barnet, but then seem to want to support the club from their front rooms, from the local pubs and bars who on a Saturday show illegal Premier League games that kick off at 3pm and get themselves updated on social media. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality. [5] In 199899 they reached the first round again, losing 32 at home to Luton.

I remember setting out with many of you, 21 years ago as a young Chairman, to see how far we could take our Club up the Non-League pyramid and for one brief moment during an away day fixture at Tranmere Rovers, we led 2-0, sat top of the table and we topped the lot. I want to see a real pride back in our dressing room and I feel they must do better, I want to see a real pride back in my staff but I feel they must do better, I want to see a real pride back in our supporters but I feel we need far more supporters to attend and I want to see a real pride from our Town but we all know we need it to turn out.

Reality tells me, that no Government, no League, no Safety Advisory Group or Safety Officer can give me as your Chairman any assurances on how I can keep my staff, players and supporters safe, while staging a football match at Meadow Park in the foreseeable future. On a much more positive note, I know if Im realistic, I know if I accept a situation where football is most definitely secondary to people losing their lives, and if we can all stay strong as a community, then together we can ride this out, but for now the sporting horizon doesnt have a new beginning for a contact sport at our level.
