We’ve worked so hard to achieve it and to see it come off is fantastic, particularly now with the challenging year that we’ve been through. It’s massive not only for our Club but for the wider community. The Management Team have been fantastic and so have the players over the course of the last couple of seasons but so have a core set of people who have supported me and my wife in driving the Club forward. They should all be proud of themselves and so should the supporters and our town as a whole.”

A delighted Daniel Moore gave his thoughts to the website saying “I feel nothing but pride. Only the people really close to the club know how much time and effort has gone into achieving this.

Mark Hudson has been nothing short of incredible for me whilst I have continued to play and it means so much to us to take the club up together.

The players have given us everything for the last 2 seasons and I’m so pleased for them as a group as the dressing room we have is the best I have ever known at a football club and everyone of them deserve it.

Then there is David and Diane, Again only people close know what they have given and continue to give the football club and how they look after its staff and players. They have given the town a football club to proud of which I know means the world to them.

We have such good people around the football club and I hope we’ve made everybody happy, but this is just the start for us.
