Reality tells me, that no Government, no League, no Safety Advisory Group or Safety Officer can give me as your Chairman any assurances on how I can keep my staff, players and supporters safe, while staging a football match at Meadow Park in the foreseeable future. I genuinely believe in what Im doing here and what Im building, but I know I must not get carried away.

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?? 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.

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. 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.

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.

Danny hunter (the boreham wood chairman) seems a bit of an oddball who enjoys the spotlight, but you can't fault what he's While I feel it gives me and my staff the correct sort of expectation levels, for what will once again be another relentless season from this August to next April and if were successful hopefully well into next May. Filter appointments Filter appointments Current appointments Total number of appointments 9 Date of birth July 1962. Trust me when I tell you that the Premier League and EFL have at the time of writing, given us nothing in terms of any new financial support, just that advance on monies that were already contracted to us in August. After defeating Halifax Town 21 in the quarter-finals, they lost 10 to Harrogate Town in the semi-finals. 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? "The last big film I worked on was Willy Wonka but this really feels like we've got the golden ticket," chairman Danny Hunter says as the club prepares to take on a Premier League giant in the last 16. "I cant keep wasting my money, if the apathy of a Town continues and it wont support a club to compete at National League level. 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. Thank you for your time as always Chairman, and lets see how the season unfolds in what is predominantly a full time league. 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. 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. As such, I cannot in good faith release any season ticket offer, no matter how hard I try, as I cannot see how any Non-League football can start again in England. Hunter fined for attack on women. JT. 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. 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. No matter how much we all want to see the lads playing football again at Meadow Park, Ive got absolutely no idea how I can safely get our stadium and facility, two teams and match officials on a pitch, while getting two sets of supporters safely into the ground anytime soon, let alone stage a contact sport with players not able to maintain social distancing rules anytime in 2020. Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter is not happy with the club's fans, Boreham Wood were beaten in the play-off final by Tranmere back in 2018. 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? 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. 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. Not bad for 90 minutes on the south coast. 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. 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. Bob Nicholson has taken over as chairman following the shock That way both my companies and the football clubs plan, work ethic, team spirit and underdog natures get that reality check. After beating AFC Fylde 21 and Sutton United 32, they lost 21 to Tranmere Rovers in the Wembley final. Why? [5] In 199899 they reached the first round again, losing 32 at home to Luton. Let me sign off with this update by saying this. The former chairman of Boreham Wood Football Club has admitted assaulting three women at a restaurant in the town. I suppose the reality is that Im always worried in May June and July. The 199697 season saw them reach the second round of the FA Cup for the first time after they beat Rushden & Diamonds 32 in a first round replay. They are currently members of the National League, the fifth tier of English football, and play at Meadow Park. Barnet on tuesday nights and back knowing well get smacked , Barri Coen: I really dont get the point of him wording it like that. 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. How to get into football - the most popular sport in the world, with clubs and facilities throughout the UK. National League clubs have been allowed to apply for loans from the 300m Sport Winter Survival Package. "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 accused the National League board of acting with incompetence over plans not to start the season if crowds are not I know that when just one high profile person dies, and its traced back to the Premier League restart, that everyone will look for excuses and run for cover. However If weve fallen short but still remain in the top division, then with everyones help well dust ourselves down again and get ready for the next season, knowing weve surpassed nobodies expectations. The reality is its still only June and with the pressure on timelines regarding the new North stand and the other facility builds. Regarding going to Wembley and the new North Stand, I gave my word wed walk up Wembley Way together and that Id build our supporters a covered home end. 'The Wood' chairman then pointed out his investment in the club, highlighting an increase in spending before stating he could fit the crowds 'into my back garden'.

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. Our Chairman Danny Hunter can proudly claim that he has overseen our rise through both the Ryman Leagues, the Conference South and into the National League where, in our fourth season, we are regarded as an established club at that level, the pinnacle of non-league football. [5] In 199495 they were Division One champions, and were promoted back to the Premier Division. 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. 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! 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. If you have a complaint about the editorial content which relates to inaccuracy or intrusion, then please Mrs Hall explained how the assault has affected her: "I find it very hard to go out in the evening now because I don't feel safe anymore. "It wasn't just a black eye, it is the aftermath of it and the mental stress that affects us and our families." Reads a bit like hes stuck two fingers up at the very people the club needs to attract. It certainly will not be league boards or administrators. 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. Yes of course I did cover much of this in my answers to your previous questions. Put simply how do they put on a 90-minute full contact game, ignore social distancing and keep the players safe? 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. Trust me for a small local employer, it was incredibly heartwarming to feel that I wasnt alone and our Government was about to share the load and that selfless act, has helped me enormously. The Club though is firstly excited to repay all those loyal supporters of ours who made the decision to remain season ticket holders throughout this campaign with a frozen/fixed loyalty price for next seasons renewals.

[5] After the division was disbanded in 1973, the club were placed in Division One for the 197374 season, in which they were league champions and reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time, eventually losing 30 at Southend United. But realistically I think football for all things Boreham Wood in 2020, is over. Im being transparent and honest with everyone in regard to my thinking and no doubt Ill get some stick for this. 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? www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk. Sport England, which administers the loans, say all bids for money are assessed on a case-by-case basis by an independent board appointed by the government. JT. 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. Lets hope Im wrong, though I dont think I am. 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. Its why after July and August is over and after the transfer window shuts, that I hope we would of done very good business and our decisions will make us look smart and as an underdog club, one to be wary of. As a man who spent his life working in the film industry, Boreham Wood FC chairman Danny Hunter is accustomed to fairytale endings, but nothing could have Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter says he may reduce his investment after a "laughable" crowd of 407 saw them lose to Sutton. They have allowed us to keep our clubs on life support, but until a vaccine is found most of Non-League and the hospitality sector will remain on life support until the life is slowly squeezed out of all us. @SkyEnda, Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player. Im already tired out haha, and in truth I cant believe July is almost upon us. 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.

"The last big film I worked on was Willy Wonka but this really feels like we've got the golden ticket," chairman Danny Hunter says as the club prepares to take on a Premier League giant in the last 16. "I cant keep wasting my money, if the apathy of a Town continues and it wont support a club to compete at National League level. 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. Thank you for your time as always Chairman, and lets see how the season unfolds in what is predominantly a full time league. 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. 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. As such, I cannot in good faith release any season ticket offer, no matter how hard I try, as I cannot see how any Non-League football can start again in England. Hunter fined for attack on women. JT. 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. 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. No matter how much we all want to see the lads playing football again at Meadow Park, Ive got absolutely no idea how I can safely get our stadium and facility, two teams and match officials on a pitch, while getting two sets of supporters safely into the ground anytime soon, let alone stage a contact sport with players not able to maintain social distancing rules anytime in 2020. Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter is not happy with the club's fans, Boreham Wood were beaten in the play-off final by Tranmere back in 2018. 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? 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. 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. Not bad for 90 minutes on the south coast. 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. 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. Bob Nicholson has taken over as chairman following the shock That way both my companies and the football clubs plan, work ethic, team spirit and underdog natures get that reality check. After beating AFC Fylde 21 and Sutton United 32, they lost 21 to Tranmere Rovers in the Wembley final. Why? [5] In 199899 they reached the first round again, losing 32 at home to Luton. Let me sign off with this update by saying this. The former chairman of Boreham Wood Football Club has admitted assaulting three women at a restaurant in the town. I suppose the reality is that Im always worried in May June and July. The 199697 season saw them reach the second round of the FA Cup for the first time after they beat Rushden & Diamonds 32 in a first round replay. They are currently members of the National League, the fifth tier of English football, and play at Meadow Park. Barnet on tuesday nights and back knowing well get smacked , Barri Coen: I really dont get the point of him wording it like that. 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. How to get into football - the most popular sport in the world, with clubs and facilities throughout the UK. National League clubs have been allowed to apply for loans from the 300m Sport Winter Survival Package. "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 accused the National League board of acting with incompetence over plans not to start the season if crowds are not I know that when just one high profile person dies, and its traced back to the Premier League restart, that everyone will look for excuses and run for cover. However If weve fallen short but still remain in the top division, then with everyones help well dust ourselves down again and get ready for the next season, knowing weve surpassed nobodies expectations. The reality is its still only June and with the pressure on timelines regarding the new North stand and the other facility builds. Regarding going to Wembley and the new North Stand, I gave my word wed walk up Wembley Way together and that Id build our supporters a covered home end. 'The Wood' chairman then pointed out his investment in the club, highlighting an increase in spending before stating he could fit the crowds 'into my back garden'. LACK OF SUPPORT A CONCERN READ https://t.co/wH2xqy7HIW. [7] In the second round they lost 30 at Coventry City. 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. Our Chairman Danny Hunter can proudly claim that he has overseen our rise through both the Ryman Leagues, the Conference South and into the National League where, in our fourth season, we are regarded as an established club at that level, the pinnacle of non-league football. [5] In 199495 they were Division One champions, and were promoted back to the Premier Division. 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. 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! 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. If you have a complaint about the editorial content which relates to inaccuracy or intrusion, then please Mrs Hall explained how the assault has affected her: "I find it very hard to go out in the evening now because I don't feel safe anymore. "It wasn't just a black eye, it is the aftermath of it and the mental stress that affects us and our families." Reads a bit like hes stuck two fingers up at the very people the club needs to attract. It certainly will not be league boards or administrators. 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. Yes of course I did cover much of this in my answers to your previous questions. Put simply how do they put on a 90-minute full contact game, ignore social distancing and keep the players safe? 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. Trust me for a small local employer, it was incredibly heartwarming to feel that I wasnt alone and our Government was about to share the load and that selfless act, has helped me enormously. The Club though is firstly excited to repay all those loyal supporters of ours who made the decision to remain season ticket holders throughout this campaign with a frozen/fixed loyalty price for next seasons renewals.

DH. I believe If the Town and our supporters really do want league football and if they really do share my ambition. Ive always got on well with the chairman Danny Hunter and his family. [5] After the division was disbanded in 1973, the club were placed in Division One for the 197374 season, in which they were league champions and reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time, eventually losing 30 at Southend United. But realistically I think football for all things Boreham Wood in 2020, is over. Im being transparent and honest with everyone in regard to my thinking and no doubt Ill get some stick for this. 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? www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk. Sport England, which administers the loans, say all bids for money are assessed on a case-by-case basis by an independent board appointed by the government. JT. 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. Lets hope Im wrong, though I dont think I am. 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. Its why after July and August is over and after the transfer window shuts, that I hope we would of done very good business and our decisions will make us look smart and as an underdog club, one to be wary of. As a man who spent his life working in the film industry, Boreham Wood FC chairman Danny Hunter is accustomed to fairytale endings, but nothing could have Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter says he may reduce his investment after a "laughable" crowd of 407 saw them lose to Sutton. They have allowed us to keep our clubs on life support, but until a vaccine is found most of Non-League and the hospitality sector will remain on life support until the life is slowly squeezed out of all us. @SkyEnda, Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player. Im already tired out haha, and in truth I cant believe July is almost upon us. 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.
