At first when it was announced I thought the Real Bedford thing would be one of these fly by night takeovers where McCormack was completely over promising with grand statements about making them an EFL club and " Cryptos football club" only to disappear 3 months later.
But it seems like he's made it work and got serious investors too.
McCormack is a bit of a ****end but he is making a success at running a football club. The investment they have for a 7th tier side is ridiculous and the rivalry between them and Bedford Town (despite not yet playing) seems to have helped the latter too, who have now gone up to the National League North for the first time in 19 years.
McCormack does a fair bit of good with a decent chunk of investment in the grassroots game in Bedford for both boys and girls but spoils it all with his comments at times.
Their biggest challenge will be their ground. It won’t be up to standard for higher divisions and the mayor is seemingly anti letting them build anything in a decent location in town, whilst it already seems that the Rugby club and Bedford Town won’t be ground sharing. I think they’ll probably do well in the 7th tier, going up first time or if not second time, but the 6th tier may be were they first start to linger for a while
