The football may have come to a grinding halt for Paul Holleran and his team but much is still happening in and around the club.  For those that may have missed it, the FA Alliance committee, a couple of weeks ago, ‘Rubber stamped’ the decision of the National League that both the National League North and South Leagues be ‘null and void’ for Season 2020/2021 following on from a narrow vote in favour of such action.

By the time we kick off the 2021/2022 season on 14th August it will have been 18 months since Brakes fans have attended a competitive fixture to cheer the lads on.  What rules will be in place then is a matter of conjecture as is the numbers who will be allowed to attend.  Rest assured we will have all the necessary health protocols in place to ensure that it is a safe environment upon your return.

Many of you will have seen pictures of the impressive new seated stand (198 seats) on the ‘Sheepside’ side of the ground with a further 56 seats installed in the covered  terraced stand on the Car Park side thus taking the total number of seats to 508.  We have additionally filled in the gap between the seated stand and covered terraced stand on that side thus making the stand a continuous one.   We have had to re-position the dugouts on the ‘Sheepside’ to ensure that we meet ground grading requirements for ‘line of sight’ viewing for spectators.  We have ongoing work to re-install fencing on the ‘Sheepside’ and that work will be done in the coming months.

As we all know finances have been challenging this past year, but we are delighted to advise you that individuals have come forward to finance the circa £50k cost in return for shares in the club.  This was hugely appreciated as the club would have been relegated had we not met the 31 March, 2021 deadline for the installation of the additional 250 seats.

Many of you will not have been aware that out ‘training pitch’ and it’s totally inadequate drainage has been a growing problem for a number of years, frequently forcing the ‘First Team’ to train on the main pitch causing the maintenance of that to be an increasing headache for our excellent groundsman Idris Elms.

Additionally, there had been a significant increase in cancellations in recent years of use of the training pitch for team and community events due to water logging.  We had planned to install a drainage system last summer, however, the impact upon finances due to Covid 19 led to a postponement of that work.  We have made the decision that this project is critical for delivery of our community activities and essential to first team needs and the work is programmed to take place later this month.   Again, this is a cost that we could be done without but are delighted to say that one of our long term supporters has come forward with a cheque for £3,000 towards the overall cost of £10,000.  We are very loathe asking fans for your support in these challenging times especially following on from your excellent support of the club at the tail end of last season.   For those that feel able to, contributions can be made via the donation link below:

Mentioning the ‘Boost Your Club’ scheme, all those that are due rewards from their contribution to the scheme will now receive them in the new 21/22 Season.  We thank you for your patience and hopefully the waiting will make it all the more worthwhile.

As the vast majority of you will not be aware the main ‘car park’ area has developed more craters on it, than can be found on the moon.  Remedial work is ongoing and all work completed on that before you return for the pre-season friendlies.  The likelihood is that those will commence on or about Saturday 10th July and we should be able to announce that programme in the next 2-3 weeks.

We are hoping to be able to advise Manager Paul Holleran in early May as to what his budget will be for the season ahead.  Whilst we have suffered reductions in some of our sponsorships this past 12 months we are delighted to say that all our sponsors have remained with us in these difficult times and we are eternally grateful for their continued support.  Indeed, Midcounties Co-operative has increased their sponsorship of the club taking over the naming rights for the stadium in addition to their community support, with the ground now being known as the ‘Your Co-op Community Stadium’.

One other bit of news is that you will see the team in a new ‘bespoke’ gold and black home strip next season  along with a ‘bespoke’ away strip in the former colours of the club, royal blue with gold trim.  More details on that exciting news to come in the next month.

Here’s hoping that the slow return to normality continues unabated in the coming months and we can welcome you all back to Harbury Lane in the summer.  In the meantime, keep safe.
