During 2024 we have achieved a great deal off the field as a club. New turnstiles and gates have been installed, changing rooms have been extended and refurbished, as have the medical and laundry rooms, a new coaches/managers room has been created, the kitchen has been upgraded, a new tea bar built, the pitch has been widened to meet FA requirements, new fire doors have been installed in the clubhouse, the bar surround has been refurbished and upgraded and countless other smaller but important jobs have been completed that enable us to feel a collective pride in the high quality community environment we are creating together at Bell Close. This has been hard work and costly but the good news is that despite the expense of these important improvements, the club is now debt free for the first time in decades! Much remains to be done and the Executive Committee are working hard to ensure that this momentum carries on into 2025.

On the pitch performances and results have been mixed, as we continue to re-establish ourselves at Step 4 and grapple with the significant demands football at this level presents. However, across the club there is a growing optimism that 2025 will bring more consistent performances and results as Reedy, Kyle, Guy and the coaching staff continue to build the squad and assert their personality and ideas on the First Team and across the club. Sincere and heartfelt thanks are due to all our coaches, managers and backroom staff across the First Team, Development Team and U18s, as well as across the youth sections of Leighton Town Youth FC and our formal partners Leighton Woodside FC. The commitment of all is exceptional and hugely appreciated. Thank-you!

As we enter the festive season both Dan and I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Executive Committee, to thank everyone connected with Leighton Town FC for their significant contributions this year. Supporters, community partners, sponsors, volunteers, players, coaches, managers, physios, bar staff - all of you play an important role in making the club what it is. Thank-you all sincerely for your support and commitment to our club. Let's continue to work together to move the club forward and make 2025 a year to remember both on and off the pitch.

Wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and successful 2025.

Up The Town!

Sean and Dan
