McBride more determined
Chairman tackles new Hornchurch debut
Hornchurch chairman Colin McBride will not let the club’s debt get him down.
McBride revealed how a �10,000 demand for CCTV equipment at Bridge Avenue had been sent to the club recently.
But he remains defiant in his bid to get Urchins on to a sounder financial footing.
“It was one we didn’t know about and it’s like a kick in the teeth,” said McBride.

“Someone has demanded �10,000 and I don’t even think the stuff works. It’s just another one for the pile.
“We had the same with the burger bar, the lawnmower and tractor. All this stuff was re-leased by the last regime.
