Ten years ago today

[Amber Aleman]

Sutton Utd 5 Salisbury City 0, during our first season back in Conference South (which had started with a 5-0 home defeat to Woking).

What was extraordinary about this game was not just the margin of victory, against decent opposition, but that each goal was an absolute peach. The scorers were Craig Watkins (with two), Harry Beautyman, Craig Dundas and Tom Kavanagh.

One of the very best Sutton performances I've witnessed.

That Dundo goal was a thing of beauty.

Given how far we've come since then, the most amazing thing for me is that two of those goal scorers are at the club now...and are not only still good enough to play for us but are good enough to play for us 2 divisions higher.

10 years ago today, we launched SUFCTV with its first ever match being the 5-0 win vs. Salisbury, filmed by Stewart I believe?

Nowadays seeing each and every match, and us on TV every week is standard, but back then it was not common place. I think we stole a march on our rivals, Dos loved it, we went to video interviews and even manage to defend a couple of Red cards.

Not only was it able to help the club on its rise and rise to where it is today, it bought the club and fans closer together than it had ever been before. Dos ended up being not just one of greatest managers, but also the first to be a video star. beamed into supporters homes across the planet.

When COVID struck it beamed every match live, it raised a substantial amount of money for the club as well providing our football fix. Without SUFCtv (and supporters trust) the ground wouldn't have a scoreboard.

I never imagined the idea a decade ago would have had so much impact. I am immensely proud to have been involved, but mainly the credit should go to all members of the team past and present for the tireless work they have put in over the years..

Today we sit 6th in EFL2 - AMAZING !!!
