Replying to @CarolBates

I’m still in shock & completely humbled to be included in these prestigious Awards, for something which is such a passion of mine. Hopefully, we can inspire more women to become active at a later age, through learning to play. ⚽️ So grateful for this, thank you. Please vote. 😊

If I’m the owner (I’m not) I’m calling a crisis meeting today and having honest and open conversations. Leadership is all over the place at our Club. No apparent direction and it appears no one wants to come here. Let’s hear that some proactive dialogue is taking place.

The story I didn’t get to talk much about at Wimborne v Crawley today is how worried I am for Crawley Town.
I saw players at sixes and sevens on that pitch today.
They are clearly affected by the emotions around the club at a wider level.
And you can’t blame them.

Never been so embarrassed to be a Crawley fan right now. Wimborne thoroughly deserved that win. First to everything - headers, second balls and where were the owners for our FA Cup 1st Round game? Nowhere to be seen. Culture all wrong and needs changing quickly!

Crawley Town FC @crawleytown 3d

Wimborne progress to round two.
