Chairman’s End of Season Message 2023/24
The results and performances this season are a reward for many years of doing the right things, working hard, attracting the right people and the dedication given by all of these people.
As Chairman, it gives me an immense sense of pride to see so many people come together and be part of this special football club. Togetherness and inclusivity are the foundations on which the club has been built on.
From inside the dressing room, to the Boardroom and onto the terraces together, we have kicked every ball, celebrated every goal, and have picked each other up after a couple of tough results. Our togetherness has been the special ingredient that sets us apart as a club, on and off the pitch and I can only see this growing and getting stronger.
We welcomed Duncan Saunders, Alan Betteridge and Eddie Rourke to the Board of Directors, which only strengthens the structure of the club. All three are passionate about playing their part and to help continue the growth both on and off the pitch.
For the first time in the history of the club, Farnborough have TWO Women’s teams. Both are challenging for promotion and have both reached Cup Finals. An outstanding effort by everyone involved with both teams. Everyone connected with the club are proud of you all.
FaST, our Supporters Trust, have continued to raise money to enhance the spectator experience by contributing to projects around the Stadium. They have also organised the supporters Minibus to away games and generously laid on the Coach for its Members for our final match of the season, away at Weymouth.
Farnborough FC Community Trust is up and running and already making a difference within the community, with projects such as Mini Kickers on Sunday mornings and Women’s Recreational Football on Wednesday evenings. A big thank you to all their volunteers who work hard ensuring the projects run smoothly.
