It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since we said goodbye to our founding chair and all-around legend, Dave Bryant. His spirit continues to inspire us, and this Saturday, we’re coming together to celebrate his legacy. We’re thrilled to welcome Rizete and Barbara, who are kindly sponsoring the match ball and Man of the Match award, along with Dave’s family and many friends who will be joining us at the game. It’s set to be a heartfelt tribute to a man who meant so much to our club.
On the ground, progress is steaming ahead as we work to bring the stadium up to Step 2 standard. The turnstiles are now in place, and this week marked the start of groundwork for the new stand. The first task? Relocating the north stand, a job ticked off the list by Monday thanks to some serious teamwork. A huge shoutout goes to our dedicated volunteers—Eric Allan, Ian Hamilton, Jonathan, Steven, Simon, and Pete Gooch—who rolled up their sleeves and put in a full day’s graft. It wasn’t easy, but seeing the stands now standing proud made it all worthwhile. We’re also grateful to Elite Stands and Alan from David Stanley Transport for their support in making this happen.
For Saturday’s match, the re-sited stands will likely still have their seats in place, but don’t worry—the full removal is on the horizon. We’re moving forward, step by step, and it’s all thanks to the incredible community that keeps this club alive. See you at the game!
