Money in grassroots !
New investment in
@RaynersLaneFC
with the insistence of a new manager team, imagine having to have a consortium to get you a job.
Be clear I go with my head held high. Promotion and cup winners in first year, the boys that played I owe you everything.
I appreciate its step 5 football but football masks issues and is a relief for some. I’ve helped my squad find new clubs. Thankyou to grassroots community for your support it’s overwhelming. The more lies and deceit that is coming out I realise I have actually had a lucky escape
I would like to thank the managers, players, and clubs who have have reached out over the last couple of days, I can’t express what it has meant to me ❤️The grassroots community is the best. I will be making an official statement Monday which will draw a line on this situation
Wow. Thank you for the support and amazing gesture guys.
❤️. Top team.
Please can we come together and find
@FCRomania
a team to play on 29th. I would hate to think I have anything to do with a negative effect on a clubs pre season.
Football is so much more than tactics and patterns of play. It’s about mental strength and getting players motivated to play for their team, their club and their gaffer. Get this right and you’ll get at least another 30% productivity from a player and squad. Blueprint for success
After discussion with

league, its taken a long time but WE ARE BACK BABY !!!!!! some great games our league is a fantastic advert for grassroots, support your local clubs. Lots of twists and turns, cant wait to see how this pans out. GOOD LUCK GUYS
Absolutely delighted to accept this position. My aim is to bring passion and desire back to this fantastic club. I will fill my team with players who are proud to wear the badge. Structure and facilities are top class. We need a team to match. 👀
@RaynersLaneFC
I have worked hard with our committee. Amazing proposed constitution for Herts senior County league for 2019/20 with 16 new teams applying. Our youngsters need football working in a team structure not knives. Grassroots is alive in Herts
Good for the youth in our country.

Premier and Division One Constitution. 6 new teams. So happy to fulfill my goal of getting the old clubs back into our league. Sun Sports, Bushey Rangers and Standon & Puckeridge. Can not have these facility’s going to waste. Good luck guys.
Whatever happens this season. I must say it is a pure pleasure managing this group of players. Hopefully bringing silverware back to this great club.

Good performance from the boy last night playing 45 mins for Slough Town against a good Charlton FC. Clear difference in quality and sharpness of teams as you move up the levels. Slough will be strong this year. Thankyou Tony F for organising.

keep learning.

GET FUCKED Match made in heaven this.
Thought long and hard how to reply, always professional but I'm a passionate guy, oh and a serial winner, this is what any new club will get in abundance. Revenge will be sweet.
@RaynersLaneFC
AGAIN GET FUCKED !!! The more statements the more embarrassing, at least be a man and tell the truth, club did not need restructuring it needed a chairman that applies for FA cup and vase competitions. The responses that have been coming in all day tells you all you need to know
Here it is, after being written off and starting with a brand new squad of players, we are one game away from Promotion. This is going to be Thrilling
@Langleyfc
and
@Raynerslanefc
honestly there will be goals with the firepower on show. UP THE LANE
Talk about a journey. Only two players retained from last year. So grateful for the opportunity to manage such a fantastic club. I got alot right this year, but choosing being surrounded by players and people who I trust and understand me. Match analysis in the penalty area etc.
And so it all begins, hopes and dreams, ups and downs, challenges on and off the pitch. you know we would not change it for the world. First game for the

I am absolutely speechless to be recognised in a national level is out of this world, this is a fantastic achievement for everyone involved, we are all volunteers and it’s lovely to be recognised. Thank you.
Just landed from 12 hour flight to be told to come into the club, and then got told the news. I have a special group who will be looking to continue playing, and playing in the right way for the badge.
I am sure my phone will be ringing.
There loss will be another clubs gain.
After the great news that Grassroots is back. I thought I would let you know the new Constitution for next season
@hscfl
division 2 and 3. 6 new teams for next season.
Just imagine getting your semi wealthy mate to invest in a club, who does not even own its own pitch, just to get you a managers job 😂😂😂😂😂 CLOWNS two years maximum Abramovich wannabe

Grassroots football doesn’t have many principles it seems . From players to chairman . I have decide to pull the plug on our pre season friendly with
@RaynersLaneFC
in ten days time . It’s a round world what goes around cones around . Belstone is built on principles 🔴⚫️
The hard work has paid off. Thank you to all of our committee that have helped made this possible. Personally I would like to thank all of my clubs who make my job so rewarding. Made up.
Grassroots League of the Year goes to

@RaynersLaneFC
Is this the same keeper who is 19 and played 50 games for you this season and kept the most clean sheets in the league. NO CLASS Sounds like you got what you deserved.
Here it is !!!
Thank-you to all the supporters that made the Lane Rock yesterday.
My players were amazing, in a long hard season they fully deserve this new challenge. Good times don’t last but the memories do, I have so many from this season that will live with me forever. UTL
5 yes ago I took over a failing club that survived on its history. Bottom for two years and a laughing stock. I still believed. Last 16 of national cup, runners up in league two cup finals. First one this Sunday please come and see if we can get our first silverware in 12 years.
Some people think managing a team is just about the Saturday at 3pm. That’s the easy bit. Grassroots gaffer takes over your life. Been on it since 6pm last night. Loaned out three players made sure whole squad is happy, this morning tactic times.

it was great seeing the boys again. Old and new faces. Buzzing.. UP THE LANE
@ValeDynamos
9 games in !! You had two great young coaches/ managers. Developing a squad to your way of playing and getting players recruited that get your mindset takes time, ups and downs but clubs must give people the chance to get it right. This is a real shame for two potential talents.
Devastated with news coming out of

I love goal planning, setting goals and then hitting them. Vegas tomorrow, it’s been on the list for a very long time. I was going to say a nice relaxing 5 days but somehow I think not. See you on the other side.

it’s only 10am and I have had 16 messages and photos from clients so far asking if I know I am in your Magazine. FYI guys I did know 😂😂. Great read though x
When they talk about my teams commitment its all driven by you, i loved being your gaffer and i'm sure this is not the end. Top man and a wonderful person, keep yourself ticking over and i am sure it wont be long before the right opportunity appears for us, still wont sub you LoL
Where do I begin? Wanna start by thanking the management team down at the Lane for everything they’ve did last season. Scott, Cory, John, Phil foden, Andy to name a few. My happiest football year ever, and we topped it off with a double. Remembering the good and not the bad ❤️

I have had to increase his pocket money and let him have the Porsche every Sunday. Jokes apart everyone connected to the club knows what a massive bonus it is to retain our number 1 after the calibre of clubs that asked for his signature.

@OakviewFC
Personally I know what hard work it takes to keep a team going. Oakview are an institution and the rivalry with the joes will never be seen again. Throughout the years they have earnt the respect of everyone with their success. This is a very sad day for local football.!!!

Apologies to everyone if it seems I am coming across bitter, but the full story of this will come out, i could have been released when the season ended which would have safe guarded players and my future, i even paid my own budget for four weeks as chairman had run out ?

As a grassroots step 6 gaffer. You have to enjoy the good times as no one knows the efforts and hard work that goes into preparing for games. Good day today, team are starting to gel but decisions went with for us. This journey has only just started. UP THE LANE
Have a great birthday to the man I owe all my success too everything I have achieved is down to him. Without him I would have spent hours at home watching BGT. Such a humble guy who hates the spotlight and won’t take the credit. Thanks

This is not a non fulfill you’re the only team had points from team not travelling. This Brook House fixture whose pitch is unplayable can’t ask a team at lunchtime of match to travel to you, we’ve artificial and if we played those rules we would have won the league.
@ComCoFL
Blatant xenophobic incident caught on Veo by an official. Club are dealing with the fall out with support from kick it out
FA are dealing with it and will have an answer today but last night with evidence from the home club !!!! They have awarded the game as walkover.
Shocking
Really pleased
@samtring11
has now recovered, he had offers from higher steps but i am pleased he has committed to Rayners Lane for this season, a very good player that i am looking forward to working with.
A kid, who had talent but had been let down by previous coaches, we got his belief back in and he has been outstanding, we have not always seen eye to eye but have both got respect for each other. All the hard work pays off with messages like this. Be proud Ian you deserve this x
Football at every level is understanding your players, allow them to thrive. It’s a great time
@RaynersLaneFC
and
@pelotonjt
is a fantastic example of what a kid can do when they apply themselves. Goal scoring is an art at any level. Keep it up, this is only the beginning for you
With 2024 just around the corner, it is Scala's 10 year anniversary. We have some amazing things planned to announce between now and the new year. Stay Tuned
The emotions of being a gaffer ! 1.0 down to 3.1 up. Half time we think job is done. 3.3 within first 15 mins of second half, Heart is racing and struggle to regain a foot hold, winning goal 68 mins, boys defended for their lives. Great side
@BedfontFC
top players and top staff.
Venue arranged Thank you to
@Samurairovers
for getting this arranged so professionally
Wednesday night at the Lane does not get any bigger. Please come down and support the boys.
After a fantastic run of results we were bought down to earth by
@LangleyFC_
who comfortably beat us
@RaynersLaneFC
and sent us crashing out of the league cup. Best team we have played by a long way this season, we could not compete. Good luck in the next round guys. Top club.
Away from the first team there’s been amazing news coming from our youth setup. After Mark Osei joining Brentford B earlier now have Reece Singh Jhuti Signed on by
@leytonorientfc
