Borham wood and Arsenal signed a 10 Year deal until 2026/27 to allow both Arsenal Youth and Arsenal Ladies to play most of their games at Borham.

Haven't been able to get to many games this season, and unfortunately most recent two were Chesham and yesterday..................



Great summary although I've not seen any Wotton Out posts on here.

I'm not a fan as I've often stated but the target was promotion and he almost delivered so no need for panic from me. I do feel he's too negative and that's probably what grates me the most. That said he's done more than enough to justify the chance to improve us further for a serious crack next season.

What I don't want to see is the same dour performances that dominated this season. He's set us on an upward trajectory thanks to the backing of the Bryn Consortium so I'm expecting a big improvement in the squad next season.

The positivity around the club has been unbelievable after so many years of toxicity and let's all hope it continues.

B+ for me this season and hoping for an A next season.

He made us hard to beat, I agree that I hope he can now start more adding guile and pace to the side. Tbf his Truro side totally dismantled us at Plainmoor not so long ago playing the same football Boreham did on Saturday, but to build a first eleven and squad that can do that will take time.

Such a shame come the final knockings… But we are a force to be reckoned with now with a rejuvenated fanbase and community feel to the club.
It would have been a fairytale to get promoted after all we’ve been through.
But maybe it’s going to be a blessing in disguise as we need a decent foundation to go up and more importantly stay there.
YOYY !!!!!!!!

Bizarre no - simple yes.

My question was: what is the difference between not being promoted last season, to not being promoted this season? The simple answer being - nothing!

And to say that we have some sort of Divine Right to be playing at a higher level because our fan base is more impressive than others - nonsense!

We played Truro 3 times this season and beat them 3 times - added to that their free scoring attack didnt score a goal against us. SO quite how they "dismantled" us I'm not sure.

Any debate on whether or not Wotton should be manager next season is are totally ridiculous given what he started with.

Whether he was negative or not he got us 89 points.

That said I accept he is under huge pressure to produce next season.

You are being economical with the truth and more inprtantly the facts, we were not sure even in June last year whether we had a club to play in any league, the team was thrown together from amongst what was generally available and with what we could afford, because of the time constraints there was no scouting, very little pre season trial players, what we achieved with that group was amazing and surprised many.
Th season before under johnson was just civil war, the fans on one side and Johnson and the owners on the other, I am convinced Johnson knew full well the ultimate plans of our previous owner were , certainly even before the more well informed fan did. So the two last seasons are as different as chalk and cheese. What a strong fanbase and bigger corwds brings you is finance to achieve that next step.

Well said Dave, says me from posting! :lol:
Heart say disappointed we didn't win - head says we'd have needed a lot of changes to have been competitive in NL.
For me, it was a great season, as I didn't expect us to have a team to support.
Thanks againg to the Bryn Consortium. :bow: :clap:

He's referring to the 2023/24 season game at home to Wotton's Truro, which isn't really that long ago.
