Dad supported the club with his time by assisting with managing the teams in the 1970s and installed the original floodlights. He was recognised by the FA in 2010 for his services to football.

Through him my son and I have also followed the club.  Although my first visit to the ground was a Reporter Cup Final in which Dad’s team was  the losing side!
