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 we all need to create a different mindset amongst each other and they can help me create an improved support base. The alleged And if anyone tries to come at me for saying this Ill have u know I attended every bwood home game in the 18/19 season coming from. "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. Its why Im not prepared to pay mediocrity silly money or make desperate signings in May and June. His non-league side knocked out the Cherries to set up an FA Cup fifth round tie against Everton at Goodison Park. But by going on the record now, and saying that the game we all love is not coming to our town, to our stadium or I feel to any National League club anytime soon, will give me a chance to re-budget quickly based on what we know today, and not what we perhaps thought a month ago. We must now improve our staff and squad strength and if we can create and maintain some momentum over the next eight weeks, then I feel well be bang on course for a top half finish and a crack at the play offs. So Im taking a more robust approach this week to every aspect of what the football club can spend, whether that be on cleaners, on pitch renovations, on-site maintenance and on our summer spends. "The improvements under Mr Hunter's chairmanship are there for all to see and I am personally very sad to see him resign under these circumstances. JT.

But our crowds just never seem to improve in the way that I see at other local clubs like Sutton, Bromley and Maidenhead and it's demoralising.For me today was a real low point and I admit I do feel really low. 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. So like the Wood Army, I will of course carry hope into the season but emphasise again that its unrealistic to think we should be play-off contenders with the level of support that we receive on the terraces and within the Town. "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, I have set aside enough personal funds to look after 95% of all of my administration, function, maintenance, cleaning, catering, academy, coaching, medical and playing staff.

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. 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. Reads a bit like hes stuck two fingers up at the very people the club needs to attract.
