Welcome Richard, big task ahead but exciting times! ❤️💙 – at Staines-upon-Thames, South East
RICHARD THOMAS IS A BEAVER 🦫
HRBFC is delighted to announce the appointment of Richard Thomas as First Team Manager.
Thomas was selected as the preferred candidate after a comprehensive search for a manager who could achieve both near- and long-term success.
His extensive football pedigree includes Championship experience, most recently at Luton Town, and his reputation as an elite coach and developer of players is renowned.
Across a 16-year career, Thomas has worked as assistant manager in Leagues One and Two for Matt Bloomfield and Kevin Nolan at Wycombe Wanderers, Colchester United and Notts County, respectively. Before then, in 2021, Thomas was assistant manager to Gemma Grainger for the Wales women’s national team, when the nation narrowly missed out on qualification for the Women’s World Cup.
Speaking for the first time since his arrival, Thomas said: “I’m feeling very excited and am looking forward to it. I’m really excited to get back out on the grass and see what we can achieve here because it looks like an unbelievable opportunity.”
On Thomas’ appointment, club chairman Ben Hudson said: “We were clear from the outset that this appointment had to be about finding the right individual to take the club forward and help us build on and off the pitch.
“Richard was hugely impressive throughout the interview process and was the unanimous choice of the board, the owners, and our football leadership. His knowledge of the game, attention to detail, enthusiasm, and clear vision for how he wants his teams to play really stood out.
"Richard demonstrated a genuine understanding of what we are trying to achieve at Hampton & Richmond Borough, and his ambition and determination to succeed left us in no doubt that he was the right person for the role.
"I would also like to place on record my sincere thanks to Lennie Lawrence for stepping in during the interim period. His experience, professionalism, and support over the past few weeks have been invaluable, and we are extremely grateful for his contribution.”
His first interview will go LIVE on the Beavers TV YouTube channel at 7pm!

Great point yesterday, a moment like that can be huge as a turning point!
As for people who don't think I own my words here goes:
Mr Physio, whoever you are, I don't really care, you're an arrogant bloke far above his station. You're a physio at NLS level. Jog on. Words owned. – at Staines-upon-Thames, South East

The physio is a stupid prick. Find my twitter against the current regime. Your whole argument is an absolute nothing. Fuck off and don't come back, the only guy more likely to have a heart attack than the players. Stupid Twat. You fucking Hampton. See you at Weymouth.
A well-earned point here at The Bev. We equalise right at the death with the last kick. Big point; let's push on now!
We'll see you all for the next home game against Dover on the 24th!

Great point lads, should've won, but at 1-0 that was a great result. Double figure points on we go!
As for those who look through my twitter, I've got nothing to hide.
Prick who stopped Sodje vs Crowborough, who do you think you are, fuck off you stupid twat. Up the 'Ampton. – at Esher, South East

The best individual performance by a Hampton player I have seen was Jack Cook in the Play Off Semi at Chelmsford. One hell of a footballer, get in there! Welcome back Cooky❤️💙 – at Staines-upon-Thames, South East
The club is delighted to announce the return of defender Jack Cook on a 28-day loan from National League Wealdstone.
Cook played alongside interim co-head coach Max Kretzschmar at Wealdstone, Woking and Hampton & Richmond. The boss said: “I’ve worked with Jack for a long time. He’s probably the player in my career that I played the most games with, so I know what he can do. A third of the league wanted to take him on loan, so we’re very fortunate that he’s picked us. He loves the club, and I hope we can get the best out of him during this period.”
Cook himself said: “I don’t believe the club deserves to be down when they are. I know I can only play a couple of games for now, and I’m going to take each game step by step and try to get maximum points.”
Welcome to the Bev, Jack!

After a very good performance on Tuesday I can only come to one possible conclusion ahead of Saturday. We're gonna win. Because why the hell not. But no more subs at corners. – at Staines-upon-Thames, South East

Christ on a bike you are poor. So are we hence losing the game and only having 9 points. Luckily for you all the rest of the league is also just as poor. It takes some doing to be in the bottom 4 of this shit shit league. – at Westhumble, South East
So close. But just so so far. Sub before corner has absolutely killed us. Got to get something out of the game, leading twice and as late as the 83rd minutes. Can't knock the performance. That is fucking gutting. Latest really poor NLS side in Dorking, this league is truly shite. – at Westhumble, South East
Heartbreaking end to the game after leading late on. A really strong performance but ultimately a defeat for the Beavers.

Right then fuck pessimism. I fancy us Tuesday night if select players around the midfield area are picked on both sides. Win that, as our game in hand, and then beat Maidenhead on Saturday we are right back amongst it, keeping Maidenhead in the mire too. Incredibly Important week

So basically we have officially placed ourselves in the same category of Walton and Slough. Single figure points in November. What on earth has gone so disgustingly wrong? – at Sant Lluís, Spain

36: Braintree lead 1-0, a freekick isn't cleared and it breaks to Johnson just inside the box, not his cleanest strike, but they all count.
The game desperately needed a goal so lets hope it jolts everyone into action.
