Bedford FC


Recommended Posts

Nice to see popular Club Bedford remain in the SSML following the restructuring of the National League System at Steps 4-6 level, Burton Park Wanderers, Irchester United, Kidlington Reserves, Letchworth Garden City Eagles, Long Crendon, Northampton Sileby Rangers, Penn & Tylers Green, Raunds Town, Rushden & Higham United, Thame Rangers and Wellingborough Whitworth will already be looking forward to visiting McMullen Park next season:

Bedford aren't wasting any time in getting back into the saddle are they, the Club could do well next season under joint Managers Gavin Hoyte and Jason Goldman, do we know why Ollie Thorne suddenly upped sticks and left McMullen Park:

Two interesting team sheets involving Bedford United, firstly from a South Midlands League Premier Division fixture on Saturday 31 August 1996 at Brache Sparta and the same fixture the following season in the SSML Premier Division North on Saturday 20 September 1997:

I wonder whether Bedford will do a 'Mick The Miller' and fly out of the traps again this season as was the case last season before disappointingly falling away and prior to Covid sadly destroying the campaign. This afternoon sees Gavin Hoyte and Ollie Thorne's men travel to Icknield Way to take on Tring Corinthians AFC in their final pre-season friendly fixture before locking horns with Shefford Town & Campton at McMullen Park next Wednesday evening:

Bedford have won both their opening League fixtures and, coincidentally, both 3-2 against Shefford Town & Campton and Wellingborough Whitworth, albeit at McMullen Park and they make the tricky looking trip to Thame United Reserves on Saturday. Here are the two match programmes from the games with Shefford Town & Campton and Wellingborough Whitworth:

Some interesting developments at McMullen Park:   Bedford FC Takeover | NonLeagueMatters Forums

Munchkin - I'm just wondering whether the SSML hierarchy put Mr McCormack through the 'fit and proper persons' test before he took over the reins from Lui La Mura at McMullen Park, that would surely be advisable. I see that Bradford City have received an offer from a group of US Cryptocurrency investors to buy the Club so perhaps that is the way we are sadly heading, Clive Carter might be getting a knock on his office door soon at Abbey Road ?

This afternoon's BBC Three Counties Radio Non League Show with Ollie Bayliss featured new Bedford Chairman Peter McCormack who took over as Chairman of the McMullen Park Club on Thursday, here is a link to the interesting interview:

An interesting artice on the BBC Sport website, Mr McCormack is certainly the man of the moment but will it all end in floods of tears:

Karen - Thanks for the information, I was going to say, tongue in cheek, in my last post that Jason Goldman and Martin Wells's days were numbered at McMullen Park, and especially following the 6-1 defeat at Northampton Sileby Rangers on Saturday, it appears that they walked before they were pushed by Mr McCormack:

A Daily Star article on new Bedford Chairman Peter McCormack which pretty much says it all:

Check out the new Bedford, sorry Real Bedford website which, again, pretty much says it all about the new regime at McMullen Park, it's a very sad state of affairs:
