During the 2022/23 season, due to the support of fans and several fundraising efforts, the BPA Development Fund were once again able to make significant donations to the club which were used to secure several signings in an attempt to maintain our league status. Ultimately however, for various reasons, this was not achieved. 

With your ongoing support through donations and our other fundraising activities, and the club looking for donations to be included with season ticket purchases, we can continue to assist with increasing the initial budget which can make a difference in bringing in the quality of player required. By donating now gives us a far better chance of a good start to the season, and this year sees an initial amount of £5000 being provided from ongoing efforts by the Development Fund’s activities.

At no stage do any of the Development Fund Group have any say in players being considered etc. with amounts being donated to the club when agreed between both parties. Should any funds remain at the end of the season, due to non-requirement by the club, such funds would be carried forward to the following season. 

Donations can be made in the following ways, these being administered by the BPA Development Fund.

During the 2021/22 season, due to the fantastic support of many fans, the BPA Development Fund were able to make a significant donation to the club which was used to secure the initial signings of Simon Richman, Sam Fielding and Harrison Hopper.  

Pre-season conversations with Gareth Roberts and the management team confirmed that the costs of maintaining a competitive team at this level continue to rise. Mark and Danny did a brilliant job retaining the core of the team from last season and are always looking for new players to come in and strengthen the team where finances allow. 

With your support through donations and our other fundraising activities, we can continue to assist with increasing the initial budget which does make a difference in bringing in the quality of player required at our level. 

The BPA Development Fund initially paid £2k into the fund at the start of this season, and has committed several thousand more towards additions made since the season commenced. This is an ongoing process, and any further donations would be made available to the club as/if felt further team strengthening was necessary. Several supporters have recently enquired as to how to they can do this, especially as our squad is low on numbers currently. 

Donations are administered by the BPA Development Fund, with funds being donated to the club when agreed between both parties. At no stage do any of the Development Fund Group have any say in players being considered etc. Should any funds remain at the end of the season, such funds would be carried forward to the following season.

The BPA Development Fund

Following the conclusion of the 2021/22 season in which Mark & Danny were able to comfortably maintain our National League North status and with only days to go before we start pre-season, the BPA Development Fund would like to launch the 2022/23 Boost The Budget.

During the 2021/22 season due to the fantastic support of supporters the BPA Development Fund were able to make a significant donation to the club which was used to secure the initial signings Simon Richman, Sam Fielding and Harrison Hooper.  

Following conversations with Gareth Roberts and the management team it is no secret the costs of maintaining a competitive team at this level continue to rise. Mark and Danny have done a brilliant job retaining the core of the team from last season and we know they are hard at work looking for new players to come in and strengthen the team. 

But with your support and donations we can look to increase the budget and push on from the solid foundations built last season. To kick things off the BPA Development Fund will be paying £2k into the fund.

Donations are to be administered by the BPA Development Fund, with funds being donated to the club when required. Should any funds remain at the end of the season, such funds would be carried forward to the following season.
