Colin Cooper: Sounds like the easily offended are looking for a excuse not to buy a season ticket, Im sure the proper fans will be there. Thirdly, it must still be about finding ways to ensure that every one of my staff are placed in as safe a working environment as possible. If you look at the averages we are already over 500 supporters less than the next worst supported club in the National League. 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. But we're certainly not where we are are because of Arsenal or any single partner, we are where we are because we're a well run, well managed club, built from the bottom up and have great staff.You more than anyone know, all I've heard of from our fans in recent years, was that if I built them a covered home stand that would improve things and the Wood Army would have the place rocking. 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. Bob Nicholson has taken over as chairman following the shock resignation of Danny Hunter.

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 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. Lastly, the Club is excited to roll out a new Black Card Membership Scheme for the more casual supporters or those who may have to work at weekends, which also comes complete with club shop discounts, plus other facility discounts and will give you access to the home fans season ticket/members only bar on a match day or night within our newly renovated Gallery Suite, Wood Chairman Danny Hunter, was open and honest when fans liaison/spokesman and Club Shop Manager Grant Morris asked him about the playing squad and what he felt the Clubs prospects are on the pitch for next season, Hunter said: Thats a difficult question but I need to be very honest with our supporters from the outset, especially the newer ones; please, please dont buy a season ticket if youre expecting me to provide either a top ten budget or if you are expecting a play-off challenge or more next season, Trust me, how Ive managed to get us through this season and to this point has been testament to my remaining staff and the sacrifices that theyve all made.

Put simply how do they put on a 90-minute full contact game, ignore social distancing and keep the players safe? Secondly, that I quickly set aside personal monies to ensure that as many of my staff as possible were reassured that their loyalty and service over many years, would be rewarded if at all possible as Id decided not to put self or family before the collective good of the very people who have helped me build our football club, my academy and my other businesses. 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. 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. DH. 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. The truth is that not all people on league boards are remotely financially capable, even fewer are medical experts, but they do hold authority. My job is to somehow keep my staff and players safe, while ensuring our football club stays solvent. DH.

Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter has hit out at his own fans in an incredible and bizarre interview. That means, I must allow all staff who have or are living with people with pre-conditions to work from home and in truth they must self-isolate as soon as possible as this virus gathers pace. Well the bookies rarely get it wrong nowadays haha so were doomed. 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. His non-league side knocked out the Cherries to set up an FA Cup fifth round tie against Everton at Goodison Park. We are hugely excited. 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. It also allows the dressing room to organise themselves, to best serve their families and to best use their roles within their family structures. 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. 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. "I suppose if you want an excuse, the lower than normal crowd could be put down to three hundred Adult and OAP 99 season ticket holders, who took up our offer but never bothered to turn up and support us. 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. "Let's face it, Frank Lampard has forgotten more about football than I know so it's going to be amazing to come up against him," he said. But I also believe that with decent recruitment and a bit of luck that we can get very close to the play-offs and win the FA Trophy. As a way of explanation, the get ready for the play off opinion first given, was of course wishful thinking on the League administrators part, which I stupidly listened to it and in truth it has already cost me over 125k in contract extensions. A very detailed answer Chairman, Thank you. Take care, stay safe and may God bless you all, "You sound very disappointed Dan in regards to the lack of support today," Morris asked. "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. Boreham 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. "I'm a lifelong Chelsea fan, I've followed them since I was a boy, and now we're off to face Frank Lampard in the last 16 of the FA Cup. In 201920 the club finished fifth and again qualified for the play-offs. I sit firmly with the fans who were disappointed with the season. I hope that this update finds you all well and that you are safe and healthy. [3] After finishing as runners-up again in 195657,[3] they joined the Spartan League.

DH. This means Ive stopped listening so intently to the National League, its Chairman, CEO or the Board, because if my football club did go bankrupt, and it wont, nobody will remember the Leagues advice, but it would always be my fault. It's not the first time that Boreham Wood have caught the headlines due to statements through official channels. Yes of course I did cover much of this in my answers to your previous questions. On the operational side of things, what exactly have I and my staff of your local Community Football Club been up to? 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? As such I dont need anyone to tell me that there will be no play offs tomorrow, next week, next month or this season. "I had a couple of messages from league managers and they said that if we have any bricklayers in the team, get them to build a brick wall because we are going to need it!". 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. [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. 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. 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?? 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. IMPORTANT NOTICE Transfers have 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. 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. Well Chairman after what can best be described as an up and down league campaign, we managed to avoid relegation and retain the Herts Senior Cup. [5], After winning Division One East in 200506, a season in which they also reached the semi-finals of the FA Trophy, losing 30 on aggregate to Woking, the club were promoted to the Premier Division of the Isthmian League. 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 quiet belief and great recruitment is key and as always January becomes a crucial signing month at this level. 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. He concluded: "I apologise to everyone for causing trouble and distress. 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. It has led to National Leagues North and South voting to end their season last month, while seven clubs in the National League also voted to stop playing. Following our recent season ticket campaigns, many supporters have reached out to the Club in hope of our adult and OAP season ticket offer being announced soon. Lets hope Im wrong, though I dont think I am. We came up with what I thought was a great price, but looking back I think my decision was made more in hope than belief that football is coming back to Meadow Park anytime soon, but the adults and OAPs ticket offer was, for the record, priced at 99. [4] They finished as runners-up in 196364 and again in 196566,[4] after which they switched to Division Two of the Athenian League. But the aim for this season is to be in the top half of this league by January, thereafter be in a 10 team race for the play-offs. Boreham Wood Football Club Chairman Danny Hunter, spoke exclusively to our new Media and Communications manager Jay Taylor, about the 2018/19 season that Why risk alienating people uneccesarily. Lets look to the future and your vision of how this club could perhaps look in a few years. National League clubs have been allowed to apply for loans from the 300m Sport Winter Survival Package. "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." Let me sign off with this update by saying this. WebDanny Hunter in 2021. Then of course our local residents will have to agree with me, then and only then can a smart new South Stand be designed and built, as it will have everyones consent. Encouragement is a far better way for success than negativity. 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. Read about our approach to external linking. Last updated on 8 March 20218 March 2021.From the section Boreham Wood. JT. 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. Also after weve opened the new North Stand and after completing the summer stadium works for the upcoming home Arsenal and QPR games. 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. 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? The former chairman of Boreham Wood Football Club has admitted assaulting three women at a restaurant in the town. Thats obviously good news Chairman, but the supporters will really want to know about any new signings, especially with pre-season training and the Arsenal and QPR games almost upon us. Roll the credits at Boreham Wood and youll find chairman Danny Hunter was a prop master in the film industry, working on the set of Batman, Shakespeare In Love and Frankenstein movies. allowed to apply for loans from the 300m Sport Winter Survival Package. COLINDALE PASE LIMITED (11543128) BOREHAM WOOD FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED (02533129) Company status Active Correspondence address 22 Anthony Road, Borehamwood, 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. Which means everyone cannot be under any illusions or given any false promises about where myself and the Club finds itself as we come out of this pandemic, but as I promised I would, I have kept our Club, our players and my staff safe. 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. After beating AFC Fylde 21 and Sutton United 32, they lost 21 to Tranmere Rovers in the Wembley final. I have always said, only if I can keep the officers, asset management, our local counsellors and the councils planning departments on board, could we ever contemplate building at the South end of the ground. Could it just be the school holidays, people being away or other local league clubs maybe taking away the floating supporter?". 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. 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. 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. The club went on to finish fourth in the National League at the end of the season, qualifying for the play-offs. They are currently members of the National League, the fifth tier of English football, and play at Meadow Park. The club was established in 1948 as a merger of Boreham Wood Rovers and Royal Retournez, and began playing in the Mid-Herts League. No matter what way I look, no matter how I interpret the government guidelines, I just cannot see how any football at our level in 2020 will be possible until a vaccine is found. Perhaps our patience in May and June, will pay off and allow us to announce some real quality in July and August. Hunter was speaking as part of an See more including the season ticket renewal prices HERE. 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! Boreham Wood FC have a new man at the helm. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality. Who Is Danny Hunter Borehamwood. Im missing my football club, the football and my staff (who are like family to me.) Mr Hunter insisted the club's code of conduct should apply to himself, as it does anyone else, but he will be missed by those at Meadow Park, including Mr Nicholson, who said: "I believe time will show Danny to have been a non-league chairman of true vision, especially with his work on the youth and PASE structure, the new artificial pitch and refurbishment of other club facilities." Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter has accused the National League board of acting with incompetence over plans not to start the season if crowds are not allowed in. Hunter says he took out two business interruption loans, deferred personal tax and remortgaged his house to fund the club ahead of this season. Fans reacted after seeing the statement which the Boreham Wood chairman says he was left hurt by staff members and that the club will be on life support. "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. We all had to leave because I was petrified of anything happening again. His partner looks after the boardroom and his sons are involved at various points throughout the club as well. Its why Im not prepared to pay mediocrity silly money or make desperate signings in May and June. I do that, not only for their own safety, but for my other staffs safety. But I do know we love a challenge, and I do know both the old and the new players will make us very difficult to beat, while I hope we score a few more goals than we did last season. Could it just be the school holidays, people being away or other local league clubs maybe taking away the floating supporter?' But realistically I think football for all things Boreham Wood in 2020, is over. So other than five or six emails from the National League admin team reminding us how to access government or sporting loans theyve not really improved anything. "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. 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. Boreham Wood Football Club Chairman Danny Hunter, spoke exclusively to our new Media and Communications manager Jay Taylor, about the 2018/19 season that finished just seven weeks ago, about the ongoing summer signings and facility builds that are now in full flow and about the new 2019/20 season. The UK has just hit 28,000 deaths and that total is still rising at an alarming rate. Im honestly trying to find the positives, but I do, as Chairman, have to remain realistic. DH. However if Im honest this pre-season I feel will be a walk in the park for me and Luke after last years player ordeals, as this has a very different feel to it. Chairman youve often said on record, that we must manage peoples expectation, if not things might turn sour. I told everyone last season when we beat Sutton 4-0 away to go 7th that we were in a false position. 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. Over the past week or so, Ive shut down the Stadium, Ive shut down the bar and function suite. 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.
