Chairman's Message<br />
26<br />
Today we extend a warm Paycare Ground welcome to<br />
the players, officials and supporters of Worcestershire<br />
based <strong>Droitwich</strong> <strong>Spa</strong> FC.<br />
Following their move this season from the Total<br />
Motion Midland League this will be the first ever<br />
League meeting of the two clubs. They have made a<br />
fabulous start to their first season in the Division with<br />
6 points from two games without conceding a goal so<br />
we know another tough game is in prospect. Win lose<br />
or draw their players and officials will be made most<br />
welcome to join us for post-match hospitality.<br />
Obviously we have made a very good start to the season, our best since re<br />
-forming in 2014/15. All credit must go to the players and management<br />
team. Three consecutive wins at any level of football is always difficult.<br />
Interestingly we have already had two 1-0 victories which compares<br />
favourably as we had just one 1-0 win last season in our opening day<br />
fixture against Old Wulfs.<br />
Last Saturday night was a big night for the club with a sell-out night to see<br />
the hilarious, if not always politically correct, Liverpool comedian Frankie<br />
Allen. As always our tremendous volunteers and committee members did a<br />
great job once again showing the club in a great light to a new audience.<br />
Everyone had a great night and the feedback was excellent. The evening<br />
raised funds for our new Under 16 teams as well as for Birmingham<br />
Children’s Hospital.<br />
I know we are only a few weeks into the season but I have already seen<br />
seven games including in the WMRL Premier Division and the Midland<br />
Football League. I can honestly say that despite the unbelievably hot<br />
weather conditions and lack of rain over the past few months our pitch<br />
and surroundings are in fantastic condition and compare more than<br />
favourably with others I have seen. Massive thanks to everyone involved,<br />
but special mention to Gil Preece, George Hancocks and Dave Steventon<br />
who have been magnificent.<br />
The support so far this season has again been tremendous with an<br />
opening league home gate of 137 and a big away following at both away<br />
games where we have had more supporters than the home club. Thank<br />
you for your fantastic support and please don’t forget that we have a<br />
game this Bank Holiday Monday when Tipton Town will be the visitors KO<br />
3.00pm.<br />
Look forward to seeing you again on Monday and please enjoy today’s<br />
game<br />
