FOOTBALL CLUB
Hungerford Town FC has been working hard to progress in
recent times. Football Focus Magazine recently caught up
with Club Representative Patrick Chambers to find out more.
He told us, “I have only recently
become involved with the club and
agreed to take on the chairman role.
The club put out a call for some
commercial help, which I responded
to, along with our new vice chairman
Carl Reader.
“The challenge for HTFC is to
maintain a competitive team at such
a high level with limited financial
resources. The club benefited from
a benefactor for many years and for
the last eighteen months they have
not had this luxury and need to find
ways to become commercially stable.
“This is what myself and Carl will
be focusing on. However, donations
from friends of HTFC will still play a
major role in competing at this level
and in particular we are improving
the ground with a new fully seated
stand.
“We would really like to reach
out to the business community and
anyone who would be interested in
getting involved with our journey.
The goodwill at the club is second to
none, so anyone who gets involved
will find it very rewarding.
“There is real optimism at the
club now and we have been made
very welcome. Our aim to move
to a community interest company
has been supported. I got involved
during the last four matches and
it’s been a tough one, with the
committee doing a great job in
keeping them afloat. Ian Herring our
manager did an amazing job on the
smallest budget in keeping them in
the division at the death.
We started sponsoring in 2017 which
was our 20th Anniversary supporting
a local team. This will be our 3rd year.
There are a few at work that go to
the matches also I know quite a few
people that regularly go.
Sponsoring part of the kit, our
company name is on the back of
the football shirts, Olivia tweets
the weekly results and follows on
Instagram.

Congratulations on last season’s results, we had a great time in the office following the team on social media! Looking
forward to following the results next season, we wish you all the best! Go on Crusaders!
