It's not all about the first team, and the new ground will show that. We are progressing quickly towards being very much a community club with so many things going on at the football club other than the first team playing.
We have 6 Centre of Excellence sides, 10 Community Club sides currently represent BUCFC, including youth, adult and mental health sides, the Under 18's, College students, Girls United, BUFC Cheerleading group, the excellent Football in the Community Programe and full time staff, Onside School Learning, after school clubs, entertain matchday sponsors ......and The Pilgrim Lounge! So you can see it's not just about providing a stadium for the first team to play in, we have to think about all these elements which provide funding for running the football club as a whole.
Rob and Paul have done a great job so far and the Chairman backs them as much as possible, but we are still losing a lot of money each year, possibly £250,000 again this year, so you can see why all these fund raising community elements are very very important.
The future is exciting but without your support and genorosity there may not be a future!
