I wanted to give you all an update, the FA and NPL have approved our take over of the club, pending the soon to be completed stadium purchase. This is a great day for Hednesford Town FC, as you are all aware of how difficult this past year has been for the club. Even as recently as December this club was mere hours away from collapse. But I want to reassure you all that the future is now secure and we will stop the years of decline and through hard work and dedication, start to turn around the fortunes you all deserve. I’ll talk in more details about our plans in a separate message in due course.

Results on the pitch have been difficult this season, a lot of it has been down to the turmoil the club as a whole has been facing but the reason this club is still standing is down to the incredible staff, volunteers and fans. I am honestly humbled by the dedicated people we have here and really enjoy meeting and speaking to you all and hearing all your stories of days gone by. Can I ask you all to get behind Paul and the team for these remaining 9 league games, and to show our appreciation to you all, starting this Saturday and on select games this season we’re going to be offering special pricing on entrance and drinks at the bar so please come and show that phenomenal support and together we’ll give it everything to stay up this season.

Finally, believe me when I say I’ll only ever have the best interests of this club in my thoughts, and rest assured that every decision we make is for the benefit of Hednesford. I’m a massive football fan at heart and this club is something special, I fell in love watching my first game here and as a fellow Pitman, I know we will bring the glory days back.

You are the beating heart of Hednesford Town FC and whatever division we find ourselves playing in next season, I know you’ll be there with us.

Your new Chairman
Craig Gwilt
