[edit] History

[edit] The Mel Roberts era

Formerly first team physio, Mel has recently[when?] stepped up to the role of manager, supported by local legend Scott McGregor. Mel has strengthened the team for the 2008-09 season bringing in a series of young students from the University of Bedfordshire.

[edit] A fresh start

The start of the 2009/2010 season coincided with former Bedford United manager Andrew Arnold being appointed as manager. He brought in a fresh impetus as well as new signings. Former St Neots skipper Jonathan Hoggett took over the armband and lead the team to a brilliant start to the season, scoring twice against his former club to knock them out of the Hitchingbroke trophy. Snow has led to a mid season hiatus but Wootton are eager to get under way again and move themselves up the league. Blue Cross also signed Calum Davenport in order to get him fit and to try and get themselves back into the football league. Davenport's first and only game was a 4-0 defeat.
