In the News: Council sends best wishes to Billericay Town FC ahead of playoffs
Billericay Town FC narrowly missed out on automatic promotion to the Isthmian Premier Division by just a single point last Saturday. However, Basildon Council is rallying behind the team as they enter the playoffs.
Billericay Town would have won the league title as well as secured automatic promotion.
Cllr Jack Ferguson, Basildon Council's Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport & Community, commented:
"The game last weekend was an incredible match with Billericay doing themselves proud but understandably missing out on promotion by the smallest of margins is disappointing, but I have full confidence that the team will bounce back.
"We know how much this means to the players and the fans, and we're all behind them. A game under the lights at New Lodge promises to be an exciting one.
"Let's get behind Billericay Town as they face Dover Athletic at home this Wednesday. Best of luck to Manager Gary McCann and the entire team."
