We have now reached the half way point in the 2020/2021 season. It has been a strange experience for supporters not being able to attend matches. Especially when the team is performing so well on the pitch and being the top of the league. However, it now when everyone’s support is even more appreciated. It is wonderful to see how supporters have got behind the club in some many different ways over recent months. It reminds me of the periods when the club was finding things difficult and everyone pulled together and got the club through those times. Hopefully during the coming months, we will remain United in Endeavour.
With the latest lockdown in place and no sign of when it will end it is even more important, we all come together and support each other.
