Really good work from all concerned. Undoubtedly made a big difference during a tough time!

Because we have thousands of great charitable organisations doing lots of good work that hardly get much recognition, so they are hardly going to rock up at a struggling professional football club to talk charitable initiatives. Maybe when our club picks itself off the floor and becomes an established league 1 football club with ambition to progress further, the bbc might chat with us then about what we are, a football club ..

I think it’s more about insecurity - they have to cling to their cause with every fibre of their being - any concession is a sign of weakness.
Obviously he has every right to detract from certain aspects of the way the club his run. On this occasion, it would not have hurt him (but would not have got the same amount of attention) to praise those who have definitely done some fantastic work. It just shows a side to his nature, which in my opinion is out of character and completely unnecessary. Just a shame.

For me I can clearly see through all the back slapping and self praise as possibly the owners using these awards as a shield to hide away from the awful failure to progress our club in any department of its trading or league position and the vast accumulated debts over the past 8 years.. It also buys them more time in which to secure the entire 23 acres unconditionally...If that happens, it would almost certainly leave NTFC rotting in the 4th division for the foreseeable future. If they really are that charitable they could leave some land for ntfc to recover with? Surely it's not all going to pay back the owners for wasting several millions on ....whatever £7m was spent on as it can't be seen or been beneficial to our club going forward? Can't we be both charitable and progress with the clubs archaic infrastructure at the same time?

Of course we can mate. And I have always respected your opinion, some of which I concur with. But sometimes even you have to take your foot of the gas, and acknowledge when something genuinely caring and considerate has taken place.

Only ruined if we let them ruin it mate, The best thing to do is just ignore it - attention is all people like Beds craves, don't give it them and they'll soon move on. As for the actual topic of the post - really well done to everyone involved, it's such a simple thing but clearly did so much good.

Can't wait to see the new mini pitch behind the north stand. What a huge Asset for the Community that will be, will certainly bring Value to the local schools, youth groups etc.
Following in the footsteps of Hearts who won it last year.

I think it's right and proper KC gets praise for his contribution here as well.

If people stopped responding to his posts he might stop? He's the biggest fisherman on here and gets multiple bites every time he posts.

You're right, he likely won't go away, none of them will - however the more we respond to them the more exposure they get, at least if we ignore it they'll be less of it

A good piece about this on the ITV EFL highlight show last night.
