Sorry it's been so long...I guess it was inevitable, but the reality is that Chesham United Travels can never be as it originally was when I was a young supporter growing up - expressing my frustrations, being ultra critcial and not really caring what anyone that reads it thinks. As much as I would like, I just can't do that as Chairman because my thought and opinions obviously have knock-on effects and I suppose I am privy to information that is not for public consumption - no matter how transparent we try to be. That's really not a "I know something you don't know" gloat, it's a fact.
I've started writing this so many times, then re-reading it again and again to see if it sounds right, imagining I am someone else reading it...blah de blah. Now, just having read the news about Darlington FC on the very brink of going to the wall, it's like a hit of realisation... there is more to football than caring about what other people think.
This is me, Alan Calder, the football fan. The Chesham United Football fan who happens to find himself as Chairman of his beloved club....And here's a brief rant that I can't hold in any longer.
