You can’t deny someone the opportunity to go and manage a team so dear to their heart. This man has been incredible since the day he walk through those gates, and i wish him all the very best in his new position.

Running a football club is tough, challenging & at times mentally draining. Yes I’ve mistakes, Yes I’ve handled things wrongly along the way. But we all learn from our mistakes. This will be my 9 season at the club this season & our little club is debt free & is slowly growing 💛
July 28th 22 - January 17th 23 💪🏻 The weight just continues to fall off. Never felt so happier, still a way to go but like they say it’s a marathon not a sprint.
For those who have made contact with me. If I haven’t got back to you as of yet. Please be patient. It’s been a very tough couple of days. And my main focus is to get the boys fully focused on Saturday’s huge local derby. 💛🖤 I’ll be in touch in due course.
I am looking for a new reserve manager to come in and take over our talented group. Please DM me if you’re interested. 💛🖤 both training & matches are played at the stadium 🏟️
I’d like to say thank you to the fans who came out in numbers today & were excellent throughout. Sorry we couldn’t get the W for you. But trust me this special group will bounce back. 💛🖤
Money doesn’t always buy you success. We’ve had the lowest budget in the whole league all season, and finished above teams paying thousands of pounds a week. Team Spirit, Togetherness, having the right type of players & having a good environment is the foundations.
Good session tonight, boys are in high spirits & focused ahead of Saturday game. 💛🖤 hoping the
@BazUtd
are out in numbers Saturday to get behind the lads.
Learnt so so much over the years of being involved in football & will continue to learn. Obviously you have your critics, but our club has come such a long way in a short period of time. 💛🖤
Week finally over for me 😴, been one of the toughest I’ve had since being at the club. But we will be making no knee jerk decisions into finding a replacement for Darren. The players are happy, Then i am happy 💛🖤 roll on Tuesday.
Frustrated that we didn’t take all 3pts today. But a good point away from home. 💛🖤 the reins can now finally be handed over now & hope we can continue our great start to the season.
That’s it finally safe, made hard work of it yet again. But the boys dug in & got what they deserved. Looking forward to yet another season in the

So pleased to be able to secure the services of this man for at least another 2 seasons. He has done a fantastic job since coming in and long may it continue. 💛🖤

Following discussions after today’s emphatic 3-1 win over Bury Town, we are delighted to announce that manager Darren Manning has agreed a two year extension until 2025.

Sometimes you win convincingly & Sometimes you win ugly tonight was one of those ugly wins but a wins a win & another 3pts on the board. If we had of put the penalty away & Warners goal had of stood in the first half then it might have been one of those convincing wins. 💛🖤
Don’t know why others are so worried about what others are spending. Every club has objectives & targets and spend what they think they need to achieve those goals. As for what players command we have to remember travelling costs to and from training & matches is very costly.
Great battling performance from The Bee's to take all 3 points this afternoon at The Hive, The goals coming from Fitzer and Warner and what away to finishes 2023 with a 2-1 win and 4th in the league. 🐝⚫️🟡

Love this little club 💛🖤🐝, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster over the past few years, lots of things learnt.
But finally have stability both on & off the pitch.
Looking forward to seeing what the future holds.
So it finishes 4-1 to Dagenham and Redbridge, a good performance from the lads with a few late chances for The Bee's. Good luck in the next round Dagenham and Redbridge 🐝🟡⚫️

Striker Kai Brown (
@KaiBrown_7
) will be leaving the club to take an offer in the National League South.
After a brilliant start to the season the forward has attracted huge interest and we wish him all the success possible!
Looking back at old photos do really make me realise at how far I’ve come, over 11 stone down now, still a few stone to shed to get to my target weight. But felling the best I’ve ever felt.
My son Callum is seeking a new opportunity next season. He is an experienced goalkeeper for his age, most recently with Aveley U14’s EJA. Coached by Ben Bradford Goalkeeping Academy.
No matter the situation or results at your club you support. Never let your colours run. 💛🖤🐝 so thankful to the

7 points from 3, 2 clean sheets & a squad finally being assembled that actually want to play for the badge. Happy days 💛🖤 tough one Saturday but we go into it with confidence.
A hard game today against a very tough opponent who just couldn’t find the back of the net especially in the first half. But with this group of lads we managed to grind out the result & bag all 3pts. A special mention to
@georgemarsh_99
who was in unbelievable form 💛🖤

Have you got what it takes to be a bee 🐝 ?
We are now accepting applications for talented and dedicated players to join our first team for the 2024/2025 season.
Yesterday result was an embarrassment, but to suggest sacking Moyes is ludicrous. We are currently sitting 8th in the premier league, in the last 16 of the europa league. Give the man a break, when was the last time west ham was torn a new arsehole. Roll on Saturday 🫧⚒️
Very tough game tonight against a good hashtag side. Thought we gave a very good account of ourselves especially first half. considering we have only been together for 4 weeks i am very please with the progress. Onwards & Upwards 💛🖤
Enjoying the break away from football. Can’t beat family time. Another holiday this time to vegas 🎰🎲 then on my return it’s down to business 💛🖤

He has worked hard to get match fit over the last couple of weeks. Good to see him finally get off the mark today, should of had another if

We have lost a few fans over the years through one reason or another. But our loyal fans & our new fans have been incredible & it’s growing by the week 💛🖤

Considering our first trail was on the 24th July. I am immensely proud of the squad I’ve managed to build. This was our first competitive match together tonight. Well done boys. We go again Friday night 💛🖤
Good performance from my boys tonight against
