It's great to see a league manager supporting a non-league club, thank you so much for your support.
Last nights feeling of jubilation after our win, have turned to feelings of sadness & anger this morning.
Having arrived at

we have found our changing rooms were not only broken into but trashed, the piping stolen and water left running all night 😭
❌ Unfortunately we can confirm that Saturday's meeting with
@LutonTown
has been postponed after a significant number of COVID cases were recorded in our first team and U23 squads.
We apologise for the disappointment caused to our supporters. A new date will be announced soon.
