So the season is all but over and another campaign has ended with success across the piste for the football club.
“Cuckoos Comment” and its contributors would like to congratulate the various teams at all ages within the club for their performances and results during the season and hope that it continues for many years to come.
The close season will see more hard work going on behind the scenes to further develop the club off the park and I know that come August when we start all over again we will see Leading Drove further developed and more progress made.
The club is solely run by volunteers and as well as congratulating the host of players and managers in the paragraphs above, I am sure I speak for all paying Cuckoos fans when I thank them for keeping the club on the straight and narrow for another season.
Not all football clubs are based on money and greed and I would like to think that Yaxley FC is one based on community and development. I can’t wait to see the first Cuckoos old boy playing in the Premiership in the years to come, and we should never forget the part our club played in getting names like Nick Conroy, Lee Clarke and Michael Frew ready for playing at a higher level.
The UCL, despite being in the 8th tier of the English game is going the same way as many leagues above it with stupid money being lavished on players and small crowds coming through the gate not supplying the income to pay them. Thus clubs are reliant on benefactors to keep them going.
Whilst I wouldn’t want our club to tell a millionaire knocking on the door that he wasn’t welcome(!!) I wouldn’t expect the principles we have adopted in the latter stages of this season to be forgotten.
You can but hope eh?!!
Nothing else remains but to say see you next season and please try and bring a friend or 10 along when you next come to a game…!
Up the Cuckoos
