Wealdstone FC Supporters Club celebrated their 50th anniversary milestone last Sunday evening with former Stone’s player and current England under 21 Manager Stuart Pearce the main guest speaker.
On Saturday 26th April, a group of around 35 Wealdstone fans walked 12 miles around the sites of former grounds before heading off to Claremont Road - the home of Hendon FC to see the Stones beat Hendon 2-1.
Following the take over of Ruislip Manor Sports & Social Club (RMSSC) by a consortium of investors from Wealdstone FC in January 2008, attention has more recently been focused on making some changes to the running and management structure of the social club facility at Grosvenor Vale.
With the shackles off, a relaxed and determined Wealdstone side won this final league match of the season at Claremont Road on Saturday with plenty to spare, and in the process wrecked an expectant Hendon’s play off ambitions and dampened their post match celebrations.
Wealdstone FC will be holding their end of season presentation evening on Sunday 18 May at 7.30pm at their new home base, The Manor, Grosvenor Vale, Ruislip. This very popular event will gather together players, officials and supporters from all sections of the club when various awards will be presented, including the prestigious Jock Law Trophy for the supporters club player of the season.
Its results that count and although this game was never going to be pulsating in its entertainment value, at the final whistle all within a nervous Wealdstone camp were satisfied with the win, and, following frenzied calculations, huge relief at the realisation that Ryman Premier safety should once again been achieved, barring a mathematical disaster.
Prior to tomorrow's crucial home league encounter with Leyton, Supporters Club Chairman, David Albert gives his thoughts on events going on at Wealdstone at present. These notes are reproduced in tomorrow's matchday programme.
Wealdstone FC’s President Paul Rumens has hailed the Sporting Dinner event that took place at the Park Inn at Northampton last Friday evening, 11 April, as a huge success and possibly the biggest single fundraising event in the club’s history.
As a result of this unfortunate defeat at Hornchurch on Saturday and with other teams below them picking up precious points, Wealdstone are now in deep trouble and teetering on the brink of relegation from the Ryman League’s Premier Division.
