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.

As a man who spent his life working in the film industry, Boreham Wood FC chairman Danny Hunter is accustomed to fairytale endings, but nothing could have I know todays update does not make great reading for any of you in regard to 2020, however with realism there can be hope, as it means our club will still be here, and means when the government and the medical evidence says so, we will open our doors with confidence and be ready to thank God for our blessings and take strength once again in each other. @SkyEnda, Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player. I feel our fans, players, staff and sponsors involved in our club, want honesty from their Chairman and they expect clear leadership from me to steer our club into calmer waters and I feel Ill be proved right with my forecasts come December. We all had to leave because I was petrified of anything happening again. Take care, stay safe and may God bless you all, [6] They repeated their FA Cup feat the following season, beating Hayes in the first round before losing 20 to Cheltenham Town in a replay. It was many felt a mixed season and with many more big clubs now coming into the National league every season, the Wood faithfuls expectations are understandably a mixture of cautious optimism and worry about what we could or should expect from the club and the dressing room next season. 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. Over the past week or so, Ive shut down the Stadium, Ive shut down the bar and function suite. That Jay is why its important to strengthen our ranks calmly and from a position of strength. Thanks for giving up your time Mr Chairman. So, I feel its better for me to ask our supporters and media staff like you to remain a little patient, before we make our official announcements on certain players. We have managed for the last decade, year on year to remain competitive while rebuilding the training pitch, changing facilities and improving the floodlights. DH. Its just not going to happen when we have the second highest death toll (and rising) in Europe and still have days of 700 plus people losing their lives. 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.

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. The good news is that I did discuss a best price scenario for our adult and older fans a few weeks ago. Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules.

Dover Athletic have not played since the end of January and furloughed their players last month. You must be quietly excited with how the summer builds and facility improvements have the stadium looking. I feel even in June, that any success next season is still very much dependent on how our recruitment goes over the next six weeks. But our future is incumbent on the councils own vision of turning much of the old bowls club into a car park, but included in that vision, giving us a slither of land to increase our capacity to 5000, which at present doesnt appear to be an option! I think on a personal level Ive earned my stripes, I think Ive proven to everyone that I know how to run a football club. [4] They finished as runners-up in 196364 and again in 196566,[4] after which they switched to Division Two of the Athenian League. Yes, I am quietly content, and I often talk about managing peoples expectation levels simply due to our home support and what people who buy the 99 season ticket expect for 4.30 a game. However if we can get recruitment right, then I fancy Luke and the dressing room to improve on last season, perform in the big games and be ready to compete again.

Barnet on tuesday nights and back knowing well get smacked , Barri Coen: I really dont get the point of him wording it like that. All Im saying to people, is if youre really a Premier League fan who does love your footy on the TV, if you like the sound of your voice on social media and if you want instant success keep supporting the big six, stay watching Sky, stay tweeting about them and just follow us on social media as you wont be missed or put even more simply, we as a Club are going to be scrapping for our lives from day one and so we need positivity and we need everyone behind us understanding that our present position is precarious. 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. I must somehow, before people return to our facility, try to ensure as stable a Club as possible but I cannot contemplate any resumption of the National League in 2020, or perhaps any time after until a vaccine is found.

Our ship for 21 years has been based on one ship, one captain and its my responsibility to look after my staff, my players, my Club and our supporters, while ensuring my Town has the Club it loves still in place, with its Community heartbeat still beating and our Meadow Park home there waiting for them when they return. So, Ill watch with a touch of fear for the whole of football, to see if the Premier League and Sky are now only driven by money and decide, if I keep my Sky subscription going. 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. Not bad for 90 minutes on the south coast. Can you give me and the supporters, what your thoughts are through say the Chairmans crystal ball, about what we should be hoping for?

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. But trust me I could of spent some serious amounts of money on some very average players who were offered to us, but who in truth would sit on our bench all season, when what we need is players who will start. Either way, should Premier League clubs or any of their players for that matter, feel pressured into playing, when essential workers are not getting the same respect even when on the front line, that could well result in the public turning its back on Sky Sports.

As such well soon be welcoming back a full management team, a full medical team and no doubt a lively first team, plus our top end academy lads and the normal trialists. This new season though is my 21st as Chairman, and if it goes wrong well need to dust ourselves down and thank everyone for their effort but trust me that wont happen. I sit firmly with the fans who were disappointed with the season.

Id also like to place on record my genuine thanks to our Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his Chancellor Rishi Sunak and this Government for their most welcome and very surprising statement of help on Friday evening. Regarding expectations, well as I said its still only June. 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.
