History
2022 crisis
Ahead of the start of the 2022–23 Senyan Third League season, Walderminster's members failed to elect a new board, due to infighting amongst the club's ultras groups over tickting allocations. During this period of instability, the manager resigned, and subsequently wages of the first team were not paid on time. A lack of organisation prevented much needed new players from being recruited. Fresh elections were held, but with infighting amongst the supporter groups, and an apathy from players and general fans, a weak turnout elected 42-year-old landscape gardener Richard Fallows as club secretary. Whilst Fallows was passionate for the clubs, he was massively unqualified for the job. Whilst the club were originally predicted to challenge for the play-offs, the season started poorly, and after seven games, the club were comfortably bottom of the league having attained only one point. Their eighth league game saw them lose 5–0 at home to Sotringham Rovers, a result which saw fans run on the pitch and demand Fallows' resignation. However, Fallows declined, saying he needed time to steady the ship and sort out the club's finances. However, after being knocked out of the Kopa Sanya by 6th tier outfit Somerleyton Gardens, Fallows resigned, and a new board was elected. Subseqeuntly, Fallows was handed a three year ban from involvement in football by FADESS for his mis-management of the club.
