Our mission is to elevate our men's team to the Premier
League and our women's teams to Women’s Super League.
Our strategy is working, with the men's team achieving back-
to-back promotions and the women's team winning
promotion in their first season.
Nobody believes we can do this.
We can.
THE
VISION
Establish a successful and sustainable football club with both
men's and women's teams advancing through the football
leagues, while promoting grassroots football and providing
substantial economic and well-being benefits to the Bedford
community.

Streaming of games continues to support the club as
we grow our reach internationally.
We expanded our streaming to include women's

thousands followed our online live streams.
THE BIG

Attempting to move up through the leagues quickly
presents several significant challenges for the club:
• Fast growing budgeting to win leagues
• Maintaining sustainability
• Growing infrastructure
• Acting like a big club (streaming games etc…)
• Youth investment
• Full-time staff
• Pitch budget

TRAINING
CENTRE
Real Bedford is in the early planning stages of developing a
state-of-the-art training centre with two full-size all-weather
pitches and a modern clubhouse. This facility will provide
training and physiotherapy facilities for our senior first
teams, ensuring optimal preparation and recovery.
The training centre will also support our academy and
competitive youth football. The clubhouse will offer
essential amenities, creating an ideal environment for
developing young talent.
FOOTBALL
PATHWAY
Our football club is committed to developing youth football for boys and girls, ensuring a
clear pathway to senior football. We focus on early talent identification, coach
development, and competitive opportunities, partnering with Real Bedford Girls and
Bedford Park Rangers to build a robust talent pipeline.
To continue this programme, we are developing a pathway to ensure we can provide
the best opportunity for young players in Bedford; this will require the development of a
training centre and academy.
NEW
STADIUM
Our football club plans to develop a new stadium to support
our football league ambitions. This modern facility will
include upgraded seating, hospitality areas, and enhanced
amenities, providing a superior experience for fans, players,
and staff.
This multi-year project is a significant investment requiring
substantial effort and resources. Despite the challenges, we
are committed to realising this vision, elevating our match-
day experience and demonstrating our commitment to
achieving football league status and long-term success.
HYBRID
FULL-TIME
Most teams use a hybrid full-time model at Step 2 (6th
tier). We want to move to a hybrid model at Step 3 (7th
tier) to give us the best chance of achieving promotion.
For the women's side, we are in consultation about
when we might incorporate a hybrid model.
Playing budget - £518,000
Staff budget - £150,000 - £170,000
Full-time staff:
• Manager £50,000 - £70,000 pa
• Coach £35,000 pa
• Physio £30,000 pa
• 12 * players £20,000 avg pa

CLUB
SHOP
Our football club recognises the need for a strong presence
in Bedford Town Centre to connect with our community and
promote our teams. To achieve this, we will open a hybrid
club shop and café, providing a sustainable way to
engage with fans and attract new supporters.
A standalone club shop would likely lose money, so
combining it with a cafe ensures financial viability. We have
secured the lease and will open in July, during pre-season,
creating a central hub for fans and fostering a deeper
connection with the town.
MARKETING
PLAN
Our football club's marketing strategy focuses on three key areas to drive
growth and sustainability. First, we aim to increase awareness of the club both
locally and internationally. By leveraging press, social media, the club shop, and
partnerships, we will expand our fan base and elevate our club's profile locally.
Second, we will focus on growing match-day revenue by enhancing the fan
experience. Finally, we plan to boost non-match day revenue through
merchandise sales and sponsorships, providing a valuable income stream to
support our club's ambitions and long-term success.

  • 33. TRAINING CENTRE Real Bedford is in the early planning stages of developing a state-of-the-art training centre with two full-size all-weather pitches and a modern clubhouse. This facility will provide training and physiotherapy facilities for our senior first teams, ensuring optimal preparation and recovery. The training centre will also support our academy and competitive youth football. The clubhouse will offer essential amenities, creating an ideal environment for developing young talent.
  • 34. FOOTBALL PATHWAY Our football club is committed to developing youth football for boys and girls, ensuring a clear pathway to senior football. We focus on early talent identification, coach development, and competitive opportunities, partnering with Real Bedford Girls and Bedford Park Rangers to build a robust talent pipeline. To continue this programme, we are developing a pathway to ensure we can provide the best opportunity for young players in Bedford; this will require the development of a training centre and academy.
  • 35. NEW STADIUM Our football club plans to develop a new stadium to support our football league ambitions. This modern facility will include upgraded seating, hospitality areas, and enhanced amenities, providing a superior experience for fans, players, and staff. This multi-year project is a significant investment requiring substantial effort and resources. Despite the challenges, we are committed to realising this vision, elevating our match- day experience and demonstrating our commitment to achieving football league status and long-term success.
  • 36. HYBRID FULL-TIME Most teams use a hybrid full-time model at Step 2 (6th tier). We want to move to a hybrid model at Step 3 (7th tier) to give us the best chance of achieving promotion. For the women's side, we are in consultation about when we might incorporate a hybrid model. Playing budget - £518,000 Staff budget - £150,000 - £170,000 Full-time staff: • Manager £50,000 - £70,000 pa • Coach £35,000 pa • Physio £30,000 pa • 12 * players £20,000 avg pa Full-time staff: • Coach £15,000 pa • S&C coach £15,000 pa • Analyst £15,000 pa • Marquee player £1,000 pw • 3 * player £750 pw • 5 * player £500 pw • 3 * player £400 pw REDACTED REDACTED
  • 37. CLUB SHOP Our football club recognises the need for a strong presence in Bedford Town Centre to connect with our community and promote our teams. To achieve this, we will open a hybrid club shop and café, providing a sustainable way to engage with fans and attract new supporters. A standalone club shop would likely lose money, so combining it with a cafe ensures financial viability. We have secured the lease and will open in July, during pre-season, creating a central hub for fans and fostering a deeper connection with the town.
  • 38. MARKETING PLAN Our football club's marketing strategy focuses on three key areas to drive growth and sustainability. First, we aim to increase awareness of the club both locally and internationally. By leveraging press, social media, the club shop, and partnerships, we will expand our fan base and elevate our club's profile locally. Second, we will focus on growing match-day revenue by enhancing the fan experience. Finally, we plan to boost non-match day revenue through merchandise sales and sponsorships, providing a valuable income stream to support our club's ambitions and long-term success.
