Jeff Welsh left as 1st team boss in March after a 1-2 loss to Halesworth Town. Nearly 6 weeks after the end of the season there's still no news of his replacement. A worrying time for Dragons fans as we move into the Summer & pre-season looms. Does anyone actually want the job?

Wivenhoe were last in the Border Lge. in 1985/86 - 40 years ago. In the last 19 seasons they have fallen from the Isthmian Lge. Div. 1 North back to the Border Lge.
(with 1 promotion in 2015/16). 4 relegations & numerous reprieves later they are back there. Let that sink in....

@StevePitt3 @wivenhoetown_fc It's been a slow, steady decline on the pitch mate. The time has come when the 2 people running the club need to stand aside to allow new blood in to breath some life into it. Step 7 was indeed unthinkable 20 years ago. It shows where the club could go to in the right hands.

I recall Rovers being in the Border Lge. in the 1990's & Wivenhoe in the Isthmian Lge. Whilst The Dragons now rot at the bottom of E.C.L. Div. 1 (Border Lge.??) Rovers progress up The Pyramid 👏👏
Jealous? Yes. Angry ? Yes. Regime change at Broad Lane desperately required.

@Al_roar Spot on Al, the players have been giving their all.
Change is needed in the way the club is run.

[Wivenhoe Town F.C. - Stats, Facts & Trivia. @town_stats]

@teachercoleman Perhaps a new Committee, with new people involved, is needed so the club can raise a competitive playing budget for a change?

Season 2025-26. E.C.L. Division One North. The lowest league finish in The Pyramid for DECADES. Reprieves will no doubt save the club from relegation back to the Essex & Suffolk Border League.
There will be no further posts on this site for the foreseeable future.

12 April 2001 - Isthmian Lge. Div. 2 v Berkhamsted Town (away) won 2-1.
Fixture chaos with The Dragons playing 17 games in a month. A fine win with Julian Hazel & Paul Abrahams (pictured) scoring - a fairly decent forward line! Julian's 8th & Paul's 11th goals of the season.

Tony Godden 1955-2026.
Sad news that the former Dragons goalkeeper recently passed away.
He played 42 games during the club's 1st season in the Premier Division of the Isthmian League. His debut came in the 3-0 home win over Staines Town in front of a crowd of 673.
RIP TONY.
