Roland Ash owned the club for several years and took Town forward. He sold the club to Tony Griffith who promised investment and further development. Unfortunately he found no assistance forthcoming and not being prepared to fund the club on his own, he pulled Town out of the East Midlands Counties League in July 2011 and folded the club.

The home manager Lee Wilson provided good entertainment but in a sporting way. He gave as good as he got. Boro played superbly and led 1-0 at half time. The clog he gave his team in the changing rooms could be heard by everyone at that end of the ground. It seemed to do the trick as Town got into the game far more with boro still guilty of missing opportunities on the break. It was an excellent advert for the NCEL played on a slick playing surface.
The home side threw everything at Boro who then replied by scoring with a counter attack through Scott Phillips. Gedling went straight up the other end and got one back. There was some frantic defending from Boro as they hung on until the final whistle to seal a great victory.
Pete gave me a ride back to Carlton with another new Nottingham based Seadog recruit, Jim, where we celebrated with some quality ale before I was dropped off at Nottingham station. All in all a good day out with free entertainment provided by the numerous firework displays all the way home.
