Jimmy & the lads will now face Otford United in a behind-closed-doors friendly today!

Otford United step in at late notice to replace Beckenham Town after they withdrew due to suspected covid symptoms in the Beckenham camp.

The game will be played behind closed doors: Despite Wednesday’s amendment to the guidance from The FA and The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport allowing supporters to attend ‘home’ non-league games at clubs in Steps 3-6 of the English football pyramid in Tier 3, we have taken the decision to continue with Saturday’s friendly against Otford United behind closed doors.

You’ll be able to follow the game via our social media channels: Facebook, Twitter & Instagram

[Latest FA guidance for clubs at Step 3-6 of NLS: FA Statement ]

We have a number of considerations to make before we allow a limited number of our supporters to return, whilst we are in Tier 3, at such short notice and would be unfair to our small group of volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes.

We are in the process of securing another friendly before Christmas and our much anticipated league game against Rochester United on Monday 28th December!

Thank you for your continued support during these complex times!
