After an extremely challenging week away from football for AFC Telford United, their manager Kevin Wilkin paid tribute to the club’s ‘great’ volunteers.
Severe flooding at the SEAH Stadium last Thursday left the pitch totally submerged in water, while the concourses and changing facilities were also affected.
“We’re really lucky that we’ve had people volunteering and working hard to get the pitch back in good shape. “It’s humbling to see people being so kind. We’ll always be very appreciative of the volunteers at the club, and hopefully that can be reflected in the weeks and months to come on the pitch. As such, Wilkin and his team were unaware of the events in Wellington until news and photographs started to circulate on social media.
And the over 300 contributors, including Bucks striker Matty Stenson, are hugely appreciated by everyone at the club, not least the manager.
