WebHigh Quality Beard Care Products | Purpose | UK Based grooming company | Natural Beard Oil and Grooming Products for Gentlemen | A Gentleman's Grooming Brand | UK Purpose Bob Nicholson has taken over as chairman following the shock 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. 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. Are we any closer to having a new East Stand or South Stand built in the next two or three years are those still a realistic target?? Every league, every club owner, every player and every football fan at all levels is of course missing the game so much. Bob Nicholson has taken over as chairman following the shock resignation of Danny Hunter. Colin Trotman: Seems to be a lot of hot air expended regarding the outrageous price of a season ticket, particularly from those who requested a refund. I sit firmly with the fans who were disappointed with the season. We will then have to balance off any new players coming in with the present wage bill, which will need to be reduced, but we must get new talent in and more energy into our ranks In the meantime, Ill be trying to pull a few rabbits out of my business hat but in this environment that is going to be a very difficult task between now and the seasons start in August. Our Government has already done fantastically for our football clubs by furloughing and making loans and grants available. After defeating Halifax Town 21 in the quarter-finals, they lost 10 to Harrogate Town in the semi-finals. Chairman youve often said on record, that we must manage peoples expectation, if not things might turn sour. The following season they finished as runners-up in Division One and were promoted to the Premier Division. 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. 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? A CHAT WITH CHAIRMAN DANNY HUNTER by admin | Jan 26, 2016 | Uncategorised | 0 comments Media and Communications Manager Grant Morris, this 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 It also allows the dressing room to organise themselves, to best serve their families and to best use their roles within their family structures. 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. with many owners unhappy at having to borrow money to cover playing costs having had no fans at matches for almost a year. 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. 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. Login. 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 well as the ongoing and developing situation surrounding COVID-19. Because every owner or Chairman will tell you, if we play behind closed doors at National League level, then bankruptcy is assured for most clubs, so that option cannot happen. That would mean forgoing all the social distancing lessons that weve painfully learnt together, to watch or play in a contact sport football match, its simply impossible. Ive always got on well with the chairman Danny Hunter and his family. "In other words, if I'd put my community football club bang in trouble, if I'd just worried about me and put my staff, my players and my suppliers lives and livelihoods in danger by not doing the right thing then the football club would apparently now be eligible for the winter survival loans on the improved terms which the other National League clubs are now getting.". 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. [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. 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. I think the Premier League and Sky Sports could well see some wide ranging change of venue pushback, made by certain relegation threatened clubs resulting in no relegation, while also getting pushback from worried players in regards to their health, safety and wellbeing. So, thank you Prime Minister. I suppose I could pretend that Non-League will be back by August, September or October, a bit like the National League Board and some of the member clubs are doing, but thats not going to help us. I'm just so proud of all the lads. After beating AFC Fylde 21 and Sutton United 32, they lost 21 to Tranmere Rovers in the Wembley final. We all know that you win nothing in football at this time of year, but if youre a lazy son of a bitch in the months of May and June, you will start the season badly and you will fall away very quickly. 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. So quiet belief and great recruitment is key and as always January becomes a crucial signing month at this level. Im also missing wheeling and dealing, signing off on deals, new players and of course, Im missing many of our loyal sponsors and the Wood Armys wicked sense of humour like mad. So, for me a far more common sense and hard line approach is now needed, and I think that my first phase approach to operation survival has to be the likelihood of no football being played in 2020 with further tough decisions to make and stricter financial controls put in place at Meadow Park. 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. I hope that this update finds you all well and that you are safe and healthy. To everyone of you with pre-conditions (which is the category I fall into) or our elderly, we must all use our common sense to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe, not just for a day or two but over the next month, two or even three who knows? Can you give me and the supporters, what your thoughts are through say the Chairmans crystal ball, about what we should be hoping for? toggle menu Primary Navigation. Thats interesting, so without trying to push you too far Chairman, do you feel the new signings are going to excite the fans, and will they give you, me and our supporters good reason to expect a stronger season in what looks after the relegations and promotions to be a very strong National league next season? But Im not sure its a great idea to tell all casual fans we wont be making a play off challenge so dont bother buying a season ticket, and also dont dare say anything on social media because we dont want you opening your mouths. 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. Put simply how do they put on a 90-minute full contact game, ignore social distancing and keep the players safe? I get the feeling that anyone who couldnt afford a ST this year are considered as these casual fans as well as 2nd teamers, Lee Boorman: Agree that it could have been worded better but can also mostly see where hes coming from. I do, of course, have sleepless nights in trying to solve the Clubs problems, in regards to what is at present an unsolvable pandemic conundrum. IA: Tyrone Marsh. In fact, that announcement has allowed me to re-work my budgets over the weekend, re-look at my sums and means I can save the jobs of the last of my full-time employees. 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. "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. 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. JT. Boreham currently sit in 16th in the 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. The bad news is I cannot release that offer, as the Coronavirus Pandemic is going to be with us for the foreseeable future. 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. 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. 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. 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. We are now I feel at the beginning of a new era. The club remained in the Premier Division until being relegated to Division One at the end of the 198182 season, in which they finished bottom of the table. 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. We all had to leave because I was petrified of anything happening again. The administrators at the top of Non-League now need to be very transparent with the clubs and the die-hard supporters and tell them the truth that were not coming back anytime soon. WebDanny Hunter is known for Resident Evil (2002), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) and Much Ado About Nothing (1993). "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. Why? But the way the club is now run, plus the fact that the club, Luke and the dressing room are settled, whoever we play especially early doors, has me believing that we will certainly be competitive. Or are you satisfied with what turned out to be a Trophy winning season retaining the Herts Senior Cup? DH. 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. My pleasure Jay recruitment and belief will be key, as will good staff, good team spirit and hopefully with a bit of luck, the impossible really can become possible but dont hold your breath haha. "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. Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter acknowledges his club are favourites for relegation from the National League but insists Wood are relishing the prospect of upsetting the apple cart. WebBoreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter has stated that he was left hurt by a few of his staff members who tried to take him to the cleaners.

[8] They went on to beat Canvey Island 30 in the second round, earning a third round tie with Millwall, which they lost 20. DH. 'It should be remembered, that we've been a really successful community club for over a decade, we've 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. Speaking to the 'club shop and away travel club manager' Grant Morris on the official club website, Hunter criticises the crowd of 407 who witness Boreham's narrow 1-0 defeat to Sutton on Saturday. They dont need me to tell them I cannot possibly plan for play offs just because they all wish it. 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.

Both will be well run, both will be organised, both will be hard working and both will be focused and competitive. News correspondent Could it just be the school holidays, people being away or other local league clubs maybe taking away the floating supporter?". 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. Hopeful entrepreneurs enter the Dragons' Den for investment, Silent Witness is back with brand-new episodes, Amir and Faryal return to the UK and get back to business. JT.

I've been all over the world watching Frank play for England.". Danny hunter (the boreham wood chairman) seems a bit of an oddball who enjoys the spotlight, but you can't fault what he's 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. 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. JT. "I'm hoping they put us on the telly in the next round. As for this years summer builds, Im very proud of how the place is looking. So, by Friday 20th March, Id already taken the decision at 6.00pm, to lock the Clubs gates to the general public and to work a rotational skeleton crew system, that mans the Clubs offices and keeps the phone lines and help desks open. In truth it took far longer than Id hoped to achieve, and it cost far more than I thought it would but Ive kept my word. Im honestly trying to find the positives, but I do, as Chairman, have to remain realistic. The lads deserve it, the club deserves it and our lovely little town deserves it. 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. So, I know when we all meet again, that we would have survived as a Club and well be ready to somehow challenge for a place in the English Football League. Hunter fined for attack on women.

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. 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. Boreham Wood FC have a new man at the helm. 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.

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. This is a great club, which deserves better than me." Im already tired out haha, and in truth I cant believe July is almost upon us.
