The club published a story titled 'MP's do your duty' back in January - a 1,400-word article on Brexit ahead of the Parliamentary vote on the Brexit deal. Its common knowledge that the Premier League will need 40,000 virus tests to complete 92 games and Im told that is at a cost of around 4 million. In truth the Clubs situation is perhaps going to be a whole lot worse than I or anyone could have budgeted for just three or four weeks ago. Lets be honest, if you take all the money out of the above equation, it doesnt become an equation at all and it wouldnt even be discussed. As for this years summer builds, Im very proud of how the place is looking. "I stayed up until 5.30am just watching the match again.

A new era, where I hope our home support can improve, where local investment and where our player recruitment also improves and If it does, then the finishing line of the EFL will I feel start to get nearer. In truth though, I was disappointed with many aspects of our season, but we still got to the first round proper of the FA Cup and we are still without doubt, Hertfordshires top non-league club and still the only Hertfordshire club in the National Leagues top division. So you can be sure that when they now discuss their safety with their loved ones, their agents and PFA in what the Premier League are asking of them, that these financially independent players and their advisors will in large numbers refuse to play until it is completely safe to do so and who could blame them? In light of requests for this update, Chairman Danny Hunter has provided an update on where the Club stands on season ticket renewals and prices for 2020/21, as "I'm hoping they put us on the telly in the next round.

"To be told, after we had voted to continue, that my club is not now eligible for these Winter Survival loans with the long-term payment terms and preferential interest rates is a blow, as they are open to most other clubs which I feel is unjust," he added in a statement on the club website. "I'm Arsenal through and through and he has just brought in [former Arsenal defender] Ashley Cole as a coach alongside him.". JT. That said, the Wembley loss is all in the past and instead of us losing say Morgan Ferrier, Bruno Andrade, Jamie Turley, Scott Doe, Grant Smith and even young Kane Smith to injury as it was a year ago, we have already signed 12 players that we wanted to from last seasons squad and we have added some good players and staff to our ranks. JT. Not because I wanted to dampen expectation but I knew we would miss the quality of Bruno Andrade, Grant Smith, Kane Smith, Morgan Ferrier and Jamie Turley. But I do know we love a challenge, and I do know both the old and the new players will make us very difficult to beat, while I hope we score a few more goals than we did last season. They are currently members of the National League, the fifth tier Take care, stay safe and may God bless you all, His partner looks after the boardroom and his sons are involved at various points throughout the club as well. That win came away at Dagenham & Redbridge last week; a 3-0 scoreline thanks to a brace from Kabongo Tshimanga and a late goal from substitute Justin Shaibu. Reads a bit like hes stuck two fingers up at the very people the club needs to attract. Because progress to the football league is reliant on us achieving a ground capacity in excess of 5,000 and with the present council and asset management plans not including us, we simply cannot achieve that, which is a huge worry. So that leads me nicely into my next question Chairman. I will always support our Board and whatever they finally decide, more than one club is going to lose, but for now I have to somehow ensure that my staff and players do not get complacent or unnecessarily exposed to this terrible unseen virus, which is still unfolding before our eyes. Then everyone can focus on operation survival and the facts are that for most of us, we have no income whatsoever coming into our clubs. Finally, it just leaves me to say, we know its going to get worse, we know its going to be a challenge for all of us, but whatever it takes, I know well rise to the challenge as our Community, our friends, our loved ones and our family must always come first and football must always come second. While I feel it gives me and my staff the correct sort of expectation levels, for what will once again be another relentless season from this August to next April and if were successful hopefully well into next May. And I believe that all the hard work behind the scenes, will give us a real platform to progress and perhaps get to the next level in the years to come. 'The Wood' chairman then pointed out his investment in the club, highlighting an increase in spending before stating he could fit the crowds 'into my back garden'. We now have a more than experienced gaffer, we will have an improved and talented squad, we will have an improved and hard-working day to day staff. JT. We should through lobbying, a series of meetings and through social media, articulate our arguments and hold EFL clubs who rip off National League clubs to account. It certainly will not be league boards or administrators. Ill also watch very closely to see if I can learn from the Premier League, its safety advisors and see how its money overcomes all of the health and safety aspects that at present, our scientists and government medical authorities dont seem to be able to solve. That way both my companies and the football clubs plan, work ethic, team spirit and underdog natures get that reality check.

Can you give me and the supporters, what your thoughts are through say the Chairmans crystal ball, about what we should be hoping for? Today as the crisis increases, its now about life or death and about maintaining as many of my staffs jobs as possible, while ensuring their health is paramount. Ive always got on well with the chairman Danny Hunter and his family. "But 407 as a gate attendance at our level is laughable. However things can change, but I feel I will need as part of our argument to the local council, Asset management and the football foundation. Chairman youve often said on record, that we must manage peoples expectation, if not things might turn sour. As such Im certainly not ever going to get carried away in June, but with the new North Stand being completed before our season starts. We have got to remember we are the smallest club with possibly the smallest budget, and probably the biggest aspirations in the league, we have been extremely lucky and privileged to have come this far , who would av thought we would have played at Wembley Stadium, I think we need to have faith in the formula that has got us this far, we r the Wood. "You can put it down to whatever you like Grant, but theres nothing more that I can do here. It's just magical. Yes, I understand that, but we do still need to be respectful, as some of the new lads are still on peoples payrolls until the end of June. [10][11] They lost 20 to Premier League club Everton in the fifth round. My concerns are, and have only ever been, about the health and well-being of my staff, my family, friends and loved ones. If thats the case, and it is, how can I possibly ask my staff, my players and you supporters to trust in luck and forget about Coronavirus, while blindly coming back to training, work or through the gates to support the team? In truth, Ive been hurt by one or two staff whove perhaps took me to the cleaners, but on the pitch weve simply had a dressing room that unfortunately slightly underachieved in the big moments, and as a realist thats just football but its the big moments that do separate the mediocre sides from the top teams, because top teams turn key moments into magic moments and unfortunately weve not done that in the majority of games this season. I'm just so proud of all the lads. This is a great club, which deserves better than me." Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter has accused the National League board of acting with incompetence over plans not to start the season if crowds are not Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter does not expect non-league football to return this year as he claimed misguided advice from the National League had already cost him more than 100,000. After being relegated in 19992000 they won Division One at the first attempt to make an immediate return to the Premier Division. "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. We actually now need to refuse to take loan players and prop up certain EFL club budgets, until we get fairness in regard to payments to develop these players and we need to revisit the three up, three down scenario into the EFL. He added: "It will be surreal to be taking them on. 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. I dont think with our work ethic at present, that, that will happen to us, because I have improved the clubs mindset again and our mindsets needed it. I dont though now feel either the South or East Stands are very realistic targets anymore, as the councils decision makers and asset management, dont I feel believe in what were trying to achieve here for the community, and what Im trying to do in taking this club forward. Encouragement is a far better way for success than negativity. Its why Im not prepared to pay mediocrity silly money or make desperate signings in May and June. Could it just be the school holidays, people being away or other local league clubs maybe taking away the floating supporter?' [7] In the second round they lost 30 at Coventry City. I know if I fail I will have to answer to myself, my family, my partners, my sponsors, my staff, my players, my Town and my Community and thats a pressure I believe I can cope with. I will now give you a rundown in this update of the Club measures that Ive taken, but again I emphasise that I believe local football, and when it might or might not return, is a complete irrelevance to me at a stage when this Coronavirus pandemic will soon be out of control. As Ive said many times, Ive improved our club, improved our community coaching department, Ive improved our academy, Ive improved our football team, Ive created more jobs for local people, and weve created third party spend within the Town and that in turn genuinely helps the local economy so I do believe the Council should back what Im trying to achieve. If that was achieved perhaps a new East Stand could then follow in 2022/23. As an example of my sleepless nights and calls for transparency, an important National League administrator, who trust me is a very honest and good guy, somewhat foolishly told me three weeks ago to prepare for the play offs and then two weeks later flip flopped and told me that he didnt feel there would be football at our level in 2020. WebBirthME, Doulas. We are hugely excited. Mr Hunter was involved in an avoidable altercation' at a local restaurant last week (see front page for full story) and decided it warranted his immediate resignation. "No the truth is, other than the bigger games against the big clubs who carry large away support, we are after 5 years at National League level, clearly still no bigger than a Ryman league or Southern League Club. "If I hadn't taken those earlier business interruption loans, if I'd not deferred my tax, if I had repaid my remortgage and if I had decided to work hand to mouth and not created sensible cashflow, I would have got the loan - so for me that's madness. Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter says he may reduce his investment after a "laughable" crowd of 407 saw them lose to Sutton. Sunday's cup win has netted them a cool 90,000. DH. I believe we all now need to understand our worth within the football world and get ourselves on the front foot, as we ask the FA, EFL and their antiquated structures to take us seriously. Lets look to the future and your vision of how this club could perhaps look in a few years. In the subsequent play-offs, they beat Havant & Waterlooville 42 on aggregate before defeating Whitehawk 21 in the final to earn promotion to the renamed National League. Then of course our local residents will have to agree with me, then and only then can a smart new South Stand be designed and built, as it will have everyones consent. Regarding expectations, well as I said its still only June. All Id say is, view the other National League teams season ticket prices 210 is pretty good at this level. Our Mums are precious, and you must do the right thing. As such I dont need anyone to tell me that there will be no play offs tomorrow, next week, next month or this season. If you have a complaint about the editorial content which relates to inaccuracy or intrusion, then please Mrs Hall explained how the assault has affected her: "I find it very hard to go out in the evening now because I don't feel safe anymore. DH. The club bar is packed with movie memorabilia that Mr Hunter has collected over the years working on film sets, and now his club is producing its own blockbuster. The reality for our football club is now very, very clear the League Board should just make a decision based on them having been elected by us to lead us. Hillsborough: Stadium safety regulator announces review after crushing and overcrowding at FA Cup game, FA Cup shock as non-league Boreham Wood beat Championship club Bournemouth to reach fifth round, COVID-19 jab named 'best defender' of the season by football pundits in new vaccine campaign video. Over the past week or so, Ive shut down the Stadium, Ive shut down the bar and function suite. No matter what way I look, no matter how I interpret the government guidelines, I just cannot see how any football at our level in 2020 will be possible until a vaccine is found. The club's highly regarded young manager Luke Garrard is a huge Arsenal fan and is relishing the prospect of taking on Lampard's Everton side. Home; Services ; About; Blog; Contact Their owner, Danny Hunter, looked close to tears at full-time as he and manager Luke Garrard embraced in the stands - and who can blame him. So today on Mothering Sunday, and having sadly lost my Mum over the past year, it will feel lonely and emotional without her, and without me preaching to you, please dont put your Mum at risk today If shes of a certain age, no matter how wrong it might feel and how hard it will be for Mum and you, all to stay away. On the operational side of things, what exactly have I and my staff of your local Community Football Club been up to? Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter is not happy with the club's fans, Boreham Wood were beaten in the play-off final by Tranmere back in 2018. Boreham Wood are through to the second round of the FA Cup after getting past National League rivals Eastleigh 3-1 at Meadow Park. So, in reality everything these people in authority tell us, we must now take with a pinch of salt, because if theyre not financial or medical experts or not taking their lead from medical experts, then all this loose lip league advice is going to kill the club I love. "If at all possible, I would hope to put the matter behind me, move forward and concentrate on the sports and education programmes and community projects I've created." It has led to National Leagues North and South voting to end their season last month, while seven clubs in the National League also voted to stop playing. Tickets to a Boreham Wood fixture cost 18 per adult, with a child ticket priced at 8 and OAP concessions at 13. It seems there is/was a hooligan element who used Wood as an outlet because it was nigh on impossible to do so at an EFL or PL club in London. Read about our approach to external linking. DH. It also allows the dressing room to organise themselves, to best serve their families and to best use their roles within their family structures. JT. However it is a time of year that I try to use intelligently, I try to ensure that myself and all my staffs mindsets get realigned. For now, I must concentrate on the well-being of our proud, if small, community Football Club thats been here since 1948 and ensure that although its on life support, that its heart will be beating when we conquer this virus and I know we will beat it. In truth I know I have to put in more money personally, which will hopefully not only guarantee our survival next season but give us at least a shout of competing with the big boys and over achieving once again, but I wont lie to any of my old school support base about the difficult times that could well lie ahead of us.
