DH. 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. 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. Boreham Wood FC have a new man at the helm. The second opinion of no football in 2020 was I feel far more realistic, and though it tells of dark times ahead, his candour and realism was hugely appreciated by myself.

"So I cant keep making the same excuses to myself about the lack of interest anymore, I cant keep spending on ground improvements and increased first team and staffing levels if nobody wants to come and watch us. But if I can find an extra few bob, if I can manage expectation and apart from getting relegated, then there will be no real pressure from me as were still little Boreham Wood. It's not the first time that Boreham Wood have caught the headlines due to statements through official channels. "I'm hoping they put us on the telly in the next round. Ive tried everything and if were honest with each other, whatever I do or try to do to increase home support nothing seems to works.". 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? So my underlying feeling over my 20 years, is still one of immense pride in what were doing, in what were quietly achieving and I still have real pride in my young manager but he and his staff must do better this season. 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. 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.

Take care, stay safe and may God bless you all, Just one unnecessary death is one too many, when we already know subconsciously that to play, people are going to be put in danger, when we already know its now more about risk to financial reward for the bigger clubs, when we already know its about the clubs access to their share of TV money, their share of sponsorship money and for the bigger clubs about their share of all advertising, endorsements and prize money related to UEFA. He concluded: "I apologise to everyone for causing trouble and distress. 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. "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." 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 prepared him for what happened at AFC Bournemouth on Sunday night. Trust me when I tell you that the Premier League and EFL have at the time of writing, given us nothing in terms of any new financial support, just that advance on monies that were already contracted to us in August. 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. Established in 1948, they are known as "the Wood" and have a local rivalry with St Albans City. It also gave our new media man the chance to ask specifically about new signings, any player targets, the clubs short term ambition, plus his thoughts on a run at the play offs or an unthinkable relegation fight. This is especially prevalent when EFL clubs already receive 100% of the Premier League Development monies, then recoup further monies in loan monies from all National League clubs, to develop their players. Im the Chairman of your local Football Club, but Im also a son, a brother, a father and a grandfather, as such Ive tried to show in these unprecedented times the correct leadership, compassion, care, common sense and community care to everyone who I can affect. 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. 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. Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter has hit out at their own supporters in a bizarre interview. They dont need me to tell them I cannot possibly plan for play offs just because they all wish it.

DH. After going through what can only be described as the most difficult and painful of times over the last 15-months, Boreham Wood FC can announce to our supporters that next seasons season tickets and our new Black Card Membership Scheme will go on sale this Wednesday 28th April as the Club finally looks forward and makes plans to navigate a way out of this COVID-19 pandemic nightmare. 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. Im being transparent and honest with everyone in regard to my thinking and no doubt Ill get some stick for this. WebDanny Hunter, 45, of Anthony Road, Borehamwood, was arrested in May after a dispute during an evening out at Zinco, in Shenley Road. "I've increased the playing budget in that time by more than 800%, Ive built two brand new stands, weve built a new pitch, added a sprinkler system, weve replaced the old floodlights, weve built 6 new changing rooms, twice rebuilt new astro pitch training facilities, while not forgetting that this Town and club went to Wembley in a play off final. So, if we can start well, if we can believe in ourselves and if our newbies can settle in quickly, then we could be in for an exciting season. As the local Member of Parliament, I have always followed the Club closely as it is my home patch I even had the honour of joining them on their first ever trip to Wembley. Wood will kick off their 2007-8 Ryman League Premier Division campaign on August 18. The lads deserve it, the club deserves it and our lovely little town deserves it. 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. 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.

After one season in Division One North (and another FA Cup first round appearance, a 40 defeat at Blackpool), they were transferred to Division One East of the Southern League.

The chairman of Boreham Wood Football Club, Danny Hunter, has quit after being arrested on Friday morning on suspicion of assaulting three women. But I will quantify that by saying, we had some real highlights along the way in knocking Dagenham out of the FA Cup and then stopping St Albans City winning a trophy by beating them in the Herts Senior Cup final. Even in a pandemic and even while furloughing, we can try to create a fairer footballing structure and improve things across the board for all Non-League clubs.

However If weve fallen short but still remain in the top division, then with everyones help well dust ourselves down again and get ready for the next season, knowing weve surpassed nobodies expectations. 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. But the reality is I still cannot compete with the very top end of this division at present, and because I cant, this is the time of the year that I dont really enjoy on the football front if Im being totally honest. JT. Hunter says he took out two business interruption loans, deferred personal tax and, National League North and South seasons ended, Having begun this season with grants, they were told that.

You can expect the normal fans frustrations, the normal magic moments, but most importantly you can expect more than 50 points but we are Boreham Wood so you must always expect the unexpected sorry to be so clich.

Finally, Chairman as i said there is a really positive feeling around the club at present, and people are quietly thinking that the impossible is possible, but what happens if it all goes wrong and we do get relegated after all we are the bookies favourites? A very detailed answer Chairman, Thank you. For now though, the focus is on the next match and that's Wrexham in the FA Trophy this weekend. Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter has hit out at his own fans in an incredible and bizarre interview. The National League Board, must now understand the difference between what they might want and what their member clubs now need and are now facing. Chairman on the signing front it has been a pretty quiet summer to date can you give us any news on player signings, player targets, on the mood at the club and what your feelings are ahead of what appears to be a pretty busy pre-season and on the new North Stand opening? 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.
