The Fleet Trust will present ‘A Vision for the Future’ at Stonebridge Road on Thursday.

The volunteer fundraising arm of the Blue Square Bet Premier club have invited manager Liam Daish to the meeting but he won’t be making any rallying call to members, preferring instead to hear what they have to say.

He said: "I haven’t been asked to speak. I think it will be more about what they tell me and to hear other people’s opinions."

Daish (pictured) is sure to get plenty of plaudits after securing the Fleet’s league status for another season, a tremendous achievement against all the odds.

The Fleet reached the 50-point mark for the season, with a 1-1 draw against Braintree on Easter Monday, ending a run of three successive defeats and Daish promised himself "a small celebration."

He said: "We must look to progress and can’t afford to stand still on and off the pitch in every department at the club."

Despite having secured their place, Daish is promising that his side won’t ease up in the closing weeks of the season, hosting AFC Telford at home on Saturday before a trip to another play-off contender Luton Town – now under new manager Paul Buckle – at Kenilworth Road next Tuesday.

He added: "Telford are still in and around the bottom and I want to try and finish the season as strong as possible."

Striker Gozie Ugwu has returned to Reading following the completion of his loan spell. Daish, meanwhile, is waiting for a fitness check on defender Joe Howe ahead of the weekend. He suffered a swollen ankle in the Monday’s match against Braintree.
