The Work Starts Now
Saturday’s game at Clitheroe brought the 24/25 season to a close with a draw and 12th position achieved in the league. A fabulous achievement given our position at the turn of the year. All credit to the players, management team and most importantly the tremendous support from fans, home and away.
The work continues in the club with the objective to move forward with a clear vision, on and off the pitch.
We are delighted to confirm that Neil Kitching and his current management team have agreed a three year contract with the club, running through to the end of the 27/28 season.
It was vital that we got this agreed quickly to ensure that Neil has the opportunity to retain players early and concentrate on looking at new players for the 25/26 season as soon as possible.
Our intention is to challenge in step 4 and target a playoff position to get the club back into step 3 at the earliest opportunity.
We share the passion held by fans to move the club upwards ,now have commitment from the manager and we have provided the tools to enable us to look up.
We are clear where we want to be on the pitch and recognise our activities off it will determine the financial security we need to help achieve sustainability and success. It is never as easy as it sounds but we clearly recognise that we have to build on and increase our commercial footprint in a different way to provide opportunities going forward. We have enthusiasm and an appetite to do this. Our number one priority in the close season will be to review all areas of our income stream to determine how we can raise incremental funds.
