BARDS-EYE VIEW: Stratford Town chairman Jed McCrory writes for the Herald

VICTORY for the Lionesses in the Euros and the ongoing excitement of the Commonwealth Games currently taking place on our doorstep, this year’s summer of sport just seems to get better and better.

And we will be doing our own bit to add to the excitement on Saturday when we kick off our new season at home to one of the league’s new teams, Bedford Town.

It has been a busy few months off the pitch with our volunteers improving facilities – adding two new stands, a media box and making a number of other changes to get everything ready for the new campaign.
