The Club have issued the following statement regarding the 2021-22 season and plans for season 2022-23

Club Statement from the Board of Directors

Now that the 2021-22 season has finished, we would like to thank everyone for their support during the past 9 months. We have enjoyed an average attendance of 570 and were by far the best supported club in the Isthmian North Division.

However, on the pitch, results and performances were simply not good enough and that left us far from reaching the targets set at the beginning of the season. After several years of progress, this season has seen us take a step back and a plan must be put into place to rectify this.

Several players will be leaving the club over the summer, some have already announced their departures, others will be announced by the club in the near future. This will enable the squad to be rebuilt over the next two months. We thank those players leaving us for their efforts and wish them the best with their futures.

The management team are aware that this season’s overall performance was not acceptable to the Board and also to our supporters, and they are currently planning for the new season. Discussions are underway with potential new players and those players that they wish to retain from the current squad.

Off the pitch, the club remains in a strong position. Further ground improvements are planned for this summer and into the new season, and we currently have several grant applications in place to fund this work. We also have a big announcement regarding the clubs future and we hope to be in a position to announce this before the start of the new season.

Thanks to the hard work of our Commercial Manager Stephen Jarrold, we have a record number of sponsorship agreements in place. We have welcomed local companies such as Atalian Servest and Greene King to the club this season, and we are also thankful to Glenn Edwards for his sponsorship through Getaway Cars and First Stop Travel as main sponsors of the club and to Adi Valiant of F.A. Valiant & Son Ltd for their sponsorship of our Under 23 and Under 18 teams.

Although the season has ended, the hard work has now begun to make sure that the 2022-23 season is a much more enjoyable one for everyone. We very much hope that you will continue your loyal support of the club.
