"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."

"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. In truth I know I have to put in more money personally, which will hopefully not only guarantee our survival next season but give us at least a shout of competing with the big boys and over achieving once again, but I wont lie to any of my old school support base about the difficult times that could well lie ahead of us. In truth though, I was disappointed with many aspects of our season, but we still got to the first round proper of the FA Cup and we are still without doubt, Hertfordshires top non-league club and still the only Hertfordshire club in the National Leagues top division.

Finally, Chairman as i said there is a really positive feeling around the club at present, and people are quietly thinking that the impossible is possible, but what happens if it all goes wrong and we do get relegated after all we are the bookies favourites? 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.

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.
