IN THE CHAIR<br />
with Simon Negus<br />
A warm welcome to Wembley for today's<br />
Cherry Red Records Combined Counties<br />
League Premier Division North fixture.<br />
Welcome to The Racecourse ground for todays<br />
Combined Counties League game and a special<br />
welcome to our neighbours from Wembley.<br />
After a couple of weeks where the focus has<br />
been on Cup competitions, it’s good to get back<br />
to league action. Wembley appear to be a team<br />
in good form and so it should be a great game<br />
today.<br />
Playing Wembley also brings back happy<br />
memories from ten years ago when we hosted<br />
them in an FA Cup that saw our record ever<br />
crowd of well over 1000 spectators… I don’t<br />
expect the same numbers today, but generally<br />
our home crowds this season have been really<br />
encouraging. We even had over 200 here on<br />
Tuesday night to witness our U18 Allied<br />
Counties squad progress in the FA Youth Cup –<br />
several of that squad have seen regular first<br />
team action this season already so the future<br />
looks bright.<br />
Last weekend saw the majority of our junior<br />
teams start their seasons, and it was great to<br />
see the Racecourse site packed with young<br />
players… I stood in to referee games for two of<br />
our U7’s teams, their very first proper football<br />
matches, and the enjoyment they got (despite<br />
the dodgy ref) was clear for everyone watching.<br />
That’s what a grassroots community club is all<br />
about.<br />
Hope you all enjoy the game today…<br />
Simon.
