I WOULD like to ask local people to stop moaning about Bewdley Town Football Club and give them much- needed support for their programme of football in the community, which gives the opportunity for children of all ages to play football.

Bewdley Town FC has been going for 30 years, starting from a group of lads playing on a school pitch. They have raised funds to buy their ground, build changing rooms and lay a pitch suitable for the West Midland Premier League, with floodlights and a stand. This has now become their "theatre of dreams" and quite rightly so.

All this has been achieved by volunteers including the groundsman, young lady operating the turnstile in all weather, ladies who provide refreshments and the footballers who all help to make such a happy and friendly club.

I would like to congratulate Craig Payton and his band of volunteers for the work they have done and the success they have brought. Long may it continue to put Bewdley Town Football Club on the map.

So come on, stop moaning and start supporting.
