It has been publicly announced in the Non League newspaper that HTFC has not got the necessary facilities to compete in the Play Offs. The official letter arrived with myself last night by forward email although it was shared over the phone on Good Friday by the General Secretary.

This information was shared and discussed with the Executive Committee and Bobby Wilkinson before and after the game on Friday.

The decision is not mandatory as we have opted to make an Official Appeal because our only short fall is the addition of 100 seats which could effectively be placed within existing stand infrastructure by the play off finals. We were not in a position to complete the additional seating by the 31st March, effectively 6 months after joining the new league as our small team were flat out getting Grade B status for the National Vanarama League South.

We have 7 days to make an Official Appeal and it will be sent today having conferred with the Executive Committee.

The BUCK stops with me and as you can imagine, i am getting all sorts of bad press but i will not give up fighting and i can put hand on heart that i have done everything in MY power to keep improving the club both on and off of the pitch.
