Robinson considering future following Hungerford relegation

Hungerford Town boss Danny Robinson has described his job as the toughest in non-league football.

The Crusaders went into the weekend needing to win all of their final three games and led relegation rivals Dulwich Hamlet, despite playing 75 minutes with 10 men following Louis McGrory's red card, until two minutes from time when George Porter's equaliser condemned Robinson's side to the drop.

Hungerford have punched well above their weight for eight successive seasons in the National League South – the highest level the club have ever played at – but, after losing top goalscorer Ryan Seager in the summer, lacked the firepower to defy the odds yet again.

"Hungerford Town is the hardest job in non-league football," Robinson said.

"Everyone wrote us off and we were desperate to prove people wrong, but we just couldn't quite do it."

Robinson admits the club have spoken to him about remaining in charge in the Southern Premier League next season.

“My future at this precise moment in time is Ebbsfleet on Saturday,” he said.

“I’ve sat down with the club and they want me to stay, which is wonderful.

“I’ve just bought a house in the area and I'm settling down.

“I love this football club with all my heart because they’ve given me an opportunity to manage at this wonderful level.

“Of course, every manager wants to manage at the highest level possible.

“I can’t say exactly what my future holds at this precise moment in time.

“The football club have been very honest and open with me and like I said, I do love it here.

"Let's just see what happens."
