Joe Dixon was the cruelest, most evil man in football for what he did to Staines Town football club but it now appears that the Thames Club/Downing LLP are in fact not too far behind. When Alan Boon sold the freehold back in 2001 we were told that the Thames club would be working in partnership with STFC, paying for ground maintenance, providing reduced membership for club members and even a percentage of income directly to the football club based on how many members the health club has. This of course was not honoured and Alan Boon again to an extent held the club up from his own pocket and eventually it was clear that the arrangement was totally flawed.

Brentford FC are now discovering this themselves after again (like ourselves) being totally misinformed and are only now finding out the complexities of the situation. Whoever is making the decisions within Downing LLP/The Thames Club, only one thing is on the agenda and that is PROFIT. They went back on their word about letting us renew the lease when Brentford made an enquiry (with bundles of cash to help tidy things up to their liking) perhaps it should be the Thames club keeping their premises looking smart instead of an outside entity! They didn’t even take into consideration that the historical covenant may cause an issue so now everyone has been completely messed around and misinformed!

Now it’s the time for Spelthorne council to step in and clean this mess up once and for all. The money grabbers need to be put in their place and solid rules put in place so to avoid this total farce ever happening again
