Im missing my football club, the football and my staff (who are like family to me.) 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. Let me sign off with this update by saying this.

I sit firmly with the fans who were disappointed with the season. 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. Our clubs now need our Board, their Chairman and CEO, plus the FA, the EFL and even our Governments medical experts to help formalise an operation survival plan to acknowledge whats really happening at grass roots level on a week-by-week and month-by-month basis, as we must all find ways to help football at all levels. [5] However, they were relegated again at the end of the 200203 season, although the season did see them reach the FA Cup first round again, where they lost 50 at Torquay United.

"It should be remembered, that weve been a really successful community club for over a decade, weve come up 4 leagues since 2005/6, we came through the Southern Eastern division, through the Ryman Premier, through the Conference South and now sit as an established National League club during my tenure here.

As such, important decisions on relegation and promotion must be made, as the Premier League Clubs try to protect their share of 760 million of TV money to complete this season.

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. The alleged I know if we do, our existing players and staff will start to believe in themselves and I know they would of bought into our philosophy and ethos re attitude, discipline and desire. Perhaps our patience in May and June, will pay off and allow us to announce some real quality in July and August. Weve built new dug outs, built and improved our toilets, created and furnished new classrooms, created a million pound new desso pitch, built a new west stand and, now the new North Stand and rebuilt the first team changing block the whole place in my opinion is giving local people a new mindset in regards to their local community club.

"I stayed up until 5.30am just watching the match again. So, let the National League continue with their non-decision letters that are nothing more a politicians dodge and let them get on with the fantasy island conference calls and zoom meetings, as they pretend and try to convince us that we are a big part of the professional game and the wider football family. Encouragement is a far better way for success than negativity. The loyal 400-500 will be there.

He concluded: "I apologise to everyone for causing trouble and distress. As such, if I dont budget realistically for what will most definitely be a more long term shutdown, then I honestly fear for our survival, so Im letting our fans and my community know what the realities facing our football club actually are. "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.
