On behalf of Royston Town Football Club, we’d like to wish all of our supporters a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To our supporters we thank you for your fantastic support throughout 2022 – this is your club, and your passion and loyalty make Royston Town FC such a special place.<\/p>\n

Our thanks go to our wonderful staff and volunteers, who continue to work tirelessly and give their time so willingly. It is greatly appreciated by us and the Board of Directors at the Club.<\/p>\n

We are also very grateful to our sponsors and community partners, who have helped establish The Crows at the heart of our unique town.<\/p>\n

We have enjoyed some hugely memorable moments this year – who could forget our fantastic League Cup victory and the record attendance or the Womens run in the FA Cup and their record attendance –\u00a0 and yes there have been some frustrating times too, but it\u2019s vital that as a club we all stick together as one as we have always done.<\/p>\n

Please enjoy a fantastic Christmas and cherish the time you spend with your loved ones. We look forward to welcoming you back to Garden Walk on 2nd January when we host Bedford Town.<\/p>\n

We look forward to 2023 and hope that it brings everything you wish for, both on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas and, as always, “Come on you Crows!<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Steve Jackson, Chairman<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alan Barlow, President<\/strong><\/p>\n
