I suppose the reality is that Im always worried in May June and July. In the second round they lost 21 at Luton Town. Our support levels are frustrating the life out of me, as I get people on at me about us challenging the Wrexhams, Notts County and Chesterfields of this world, who all get four or five thousand fans and people's expectation of what their 99 brings is completely bonkers.I feel after today, that It might simply be the right time to re-evaluate my own ambitions and consider downsizing my year on year investment here and get rid of a few of the white elephants in the room. 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. "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. So, I feel its better for me to ask our supporters and media staff like you to remain a little patient, before we make our official announcements on certain players. They won the division in 197677 and were promoted to the renamed Premier Division. Chris Gardner: I think what the chairman is saying , in these days of social media personal comments about staff or players are detrimental to a happy and successful club . 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. In the same season they also won the Isthmian League Cup. Hunter fined for attack on women. I dont think with our work ethic at present, that, that will happen to us, because I have improved the clubs mindset again and our mindsets needed it. 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. Put simply how do they put on a 90-minute full contact game, ignore social distancing and keep the players safe? The reality for our football club is now very, very clear the League Board should just make a decision based on them having been elected by us to lead us. Encouragement is a far better way for success than negativity. Data profile of Danny Hunter who is contracted to Boreham Wood. JT. 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? WebBirthME, Doulas. 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. 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. Boreham currently sit in 16th in the For now though, the focus is on the next match and that's Wrexham in the FA Trophy this weekend. "The last big film I worked on was Willy Wonka but this really feels like we've got the golden ticket," he tells me on the club's pitch in the Hertfordshire town, where home crowds hover around the 900 mark. The chairman of Boreham Wood Football Club, Danny Hunter, has quit after being arrested on Friday morning on suspicion of assaulting three women. The second opinion of no football in 2020 was I feel far more realistic, and though it tells of dark times ahead, his candour and realism was hugely appreciated by myself. Reads a bit like hes stuck two fingers up at the very people the club needs to attract. Im already tired out haha, and in truth I cant believe July is almost upon us. DH. Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter says he has had to remortgage his house to help the National League club cope with the financial effects of coronavirus. The Hertfordshire side, fifth in the table, had voted for no play-offs, but will compete in them if clubs agree to end the season using points per game. Boreham Wood Football Club Chairman Danny Hunter, spoke exclusively to our new Media and Communications manager Jay Taylor, about the 2018/19 season that The bad news is I cannot release that offer, as the Coronavirus Pandemic is going to be with us for the foreseeable future. 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. 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. 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. See more including the season ticket renewal prices HERE. Ok Chairman lets move on do you as some supporters have openly said, feel that last season after the highs of the previous season, was hugely disappointing? 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. DH. If thats the case, and it is, how can I possibly ask my staff, my players and you supporters to trust in luck and forget about Coronavirus, while blindly coming back to training, work or through the gates to support the team? Also after weve opened the new North Stand and after completing the summer stadium works for the upcoming home Arsenal and QPR games. so lets be unrealistic, lets try to win the league, lets try to win the FA Trophy and lets try to get to the 3rd round proper of the FA Cup haha because it costs us absolutely nothing to dream the impossible dream in June. As for this years summer builds, Im very proud of how the place is looking. Danny Hunter, 45, of Anthony Road, Borehamwood, was arrested in May after a dispute during an evening out at Zinco, in Shenley Road. At St Albans Crown Court on Monday, he pleaded guilty to three counts of assault by beating and was ordered to pay a total of 700 in fines and 800 in compensation to the victims of the attack. We are hugely excited. DH. Bob Nicholson has taken over as chairman following the shock resignation of Danny Hunter. They are currently members of the National League, the fifth tier 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 to be competing with the likes of Notts County, Wrexham and Chesterfields of this world is a fantastic achievement for us and I genuinely love that were competing at National league level. Alex Morrow: New price structures are fair and really well put together. Mr Hunter was involved in an avoidable altercation' at a local restaurant last week (see front page for full story) and decided it warranted his immediate resignation. Hunter says he took out two business interruption loans, deferred personal tax and remortgaged his house to fund the club ahead of this season. Well firstly, I felt it was very important and still do, to be completely transparent not only with my Community and our supporters, but also with my Heads of Department, my key staff, as I wanted to ensure that I kept the communication lines open from top to bottom where possible and allay peoples fears. 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. Still think theyll be a large number of 16/17 year olds missing from the stands next 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. 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. After the year weve all had Im not going to sugar coat things for the few, Im simply going to be the realist I am because I know Ill have to be ready to fight tooth and nail for our Community, for our Town and for our Football Clubs recovery. DH. It seems there is/was a hooligan element who used Wood as an outlet because it was nigh on impossible to do so at an EFL or PL club in London. 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. 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. 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. 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. [5] The following season saw them reach the first round of the FA Cup again, losing 20 in a replay to Swindon Town after a 00 draw at home.[5].

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. '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. I feel even in June, that any success next season is still very much dependent on how our recruitment goes over the next six weeks. JT. 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. The chairman of Boreham Wood Football Club Danny Hunter was arrested in the early hours of Friday morning on suspicion of assaulting two women. 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. www.fanbanter.co.uk Fan reaction to the latest football news, gossip & funnies. Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter says he may reduce his investment after a "laughable" crowd of 407 saw them lose to Sutton. I sit firmly with the fans who were disappointed with the season. 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. Hunter resigns after incident in restaurant. [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.

Im missing my football club, the football and my staff (who are like family to me.) 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. Who Is Danny Hunter Borehamwood. WebDanny Hunter is known for Resident Evil (2002), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) and Much Ado About Nothing (1993). 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?? I actually see this lockdown, as the perfect time for our League to re-look at the existing promotion and relegation issues, look at the National League/EFL loan structures, look at Non-League agents fees, look at how a new League voting system might look and look at how much the EFL clubs take out of the National League and Non-League game in loan fees. JT. You can expect the normal fans frustrations, the normal magic moments, but most importantly you can expect more than 50 points but we are Boreham Wood so you must always expect the unexpected sorry to be so clich. Im being transparent and honest with everyone in regard to my thinking and no doubt Ill get some stick for this. "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. We have managed for the last decade, year on year to remain competitive while rebuilding the training pitch, changing facilities and improving the floodlights. I will now give you a rundown in this update of the Club measures that Ive taken, but again I emphasise that I believe local football, and when it might or might not return, is a complete irrelevance to me at a stage when this Coronavirus pandemic will soon be out of control. BOREHAM WOOD FC UPDATE By Chairman Danny Hunter by admin | Mar 22, 2020 | Uncategorized Firstly, can I remind everyone without preaching to our "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.". LACK OF SUPPORT A CONCERN READ https://t.co/wH2xqy7HIW. However it is a time of year that I try to use intelligently, I try to ensure that myself and all my staffs mindsets get realigned. [9] In the 202122 FA Cup, the club reached the fifth round for the first time after beating League One club AFC Wimbledon in the third round and Championship club AFC Bournemouth in the fourth. 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. That our average support not only remains over 700 but continues to rise year on year. 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. As such I dont need anyone to tell me that there will be no play offs tomorrow, next week, next month or this season. 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. 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. 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. 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 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. Its a family-run club. But it is not good enough for the victims. IA: Tyrone Marsh. "If I hadn't taken those earlier business interruption loans, if I'd not deferred my tax, if I had repaid my remortgage and if I had decided to work hand to mouth and not created sensible cashflow, I would have got the loan - so for me that's madness. I want to see a real pride back in our dressing room and I feel they must do better, I want to see a real pride back in my staff but I feel they must do better, I want to see a real pride back in our supporters but I feel we need far more supporters to attend and I want to see a real pride from our Town but we all know we need it to turn out. Its why Im not prepared to pay mediocrity silly money or make desperate signings in May and June. Dover Athletic have not played since the end of January and furloughed their players last month.
