Ashford Town Programme

hopefully help put bums on seats.
Off the pitch we have lost long time supporters with
Dave McCann and Martin Harvey and our deepest
sympathies go out to their families. Very Sad indeed.
There are a lot of changes going on at Tooting and
Mitcham and the club has changed for the better, with
more people helping out and getting involved behind
the scenes. There is a really good vibe about the place
now. Fingers crossed Dear Reader.... Up The Stripes !!!

Here’s a BIG T&MU FC welcome to
Caroline McRoyall, the new Chair of
Tooting & Mitcham Utd FC.
Steve Adkins has announced that he has stepped
down as Chair of Tooting & Mitcham United and to be
replaced by Caroline McRoyall, formerly CEO of the
Surrey FA.
After many years as Chair Steve intends to concentrate
on the strategic plans for Imperial Fields, which will ensure
the long-term security of T&MUFC and TM United as
a whole. The organisation is the centre of the local
community, creating opportunities for everyone in sport,
health, education and leisure. Steve remains as the
major shareholder of Tooting and Mitcham Sports and
Leisure Ltd who own the Club.
In a statement Steve said:
“My time as Chair of the Club has been a roller-coaster,
with the highs of promotion and lows of relegation ! My
proudest moments have to include creating opportunities
for the young people of South London. During my
chairmanship young players have gone on to professional
football clubs and many others have been given
opportunities to find their place in the community. The
last couple of seasons have been my proudest and the
potential of the Club has never been greater.
To be able to pass on the stewardship to Caroline is
fantastic. She has been involved with football throughout
her career. Her knowledge and experience will
create even more opportunities for the Club and its
community.”
Caroline added:
“I am honoured to be joining Tooting and Mitcham FC
as Chair and relish the opportunity to support the club in
its pivotal role of developing players and providing a
wide range of activities for the local community.”
