Chertsey Town “The club’s off pitch executive is marked by stability with eight members of the 17 man committee having served for ten or more years.” Although he made intermittent moves to other clubs, he always returned to now clock up almost 400 first team appearances. Additionally, he has just breeched the 300 goals scored marker, quite an achievement. Additionally, he is also the Assistance Manager under the direction of the well experienced boss Kim Harris, formally with Kingstonian and Corinthian Casuals. Over optimistic ambitions have rarely been a strong feature of club culture. Steady growth continues to be the watchword but the financial constraints that affect so many clubs are painfully felt by the Curfews, a nickname derived from the Curfew Bell that has been rung (now ceremoniously of course) for over 600 years. Chertsey Town does not have businessmen involved in the front line club operations but benefits from an excellent club sponsor, Traylens Enterprises, who has made all the difference between crucial financial profit and loss considerations. The club has many traditions and is deeply seated within the clearly defined community despite being deeply situated within London’s commuter belt. That embedment will ensure the club can build on these strengths for the future.
