Hi all, Harrow Borough's ground sale has fallen through and they're in dire need of funds. They recently formed a trust to try to respond to the situation.
David Howell (who many will know as a Shepherd's Bush man, and former Harrow Borough manager) and Uncle Albert are spearheading it.
Any support much appreciated.

The trust is also urging fans to come out for the club's final 2 games of the season. against Hendon on Easter Monday, and Southall on Saturday April 25th.
Finally, anyone who wants to become an investor can get in touch at hbfcsupporterstrust@gmail.com
'Our Aim
Harrow Borough FC were founded in 1933 and have been a fixture in non-league football and the community since then.
In recent years the club had struggled to keep going as costs kept rising and income decreased.
We are now at the point where the club is standing at the precipice of extinction at the end of this season.
An agreement to sell Earlsmead to a property developer, which would have allowed the club to stay at Earlsmead for a few more years before finding another home has fallen through.
The Harrow Borough Supporters Trust has been set up to raise urgent funds to keep the club alive – both on and off the pitch.
On the pitch our first team, under the leadership of Wayne Carter, currently sit just outside the playoff places in the Isthmian South-Central Division – despite having one of the smallest budgets in the league.
Our under 23s are having a successful season in the Suburban League and look likely to be appearing in a cup final at the end of the season.
The under 18s are storming towards winning their league and only require a point from their five remaining league games.
Off the pitch, the clubhouse at Earlsmead is home to numerous community groups who would all be forced to look for another home.
Amongst them, Tanglewood – who provide leisure activities for people with learning difficulties, who have called Earlsmead home for many years.
The main hall regularly hosts sold out music events put on by Chris Hill and is a popular venue for wedding receptions and other social events.
Please join us in our campaign to safeguard the immediate future of the club, which is loved by many people.'
