A
Big Thank You To Kevin Pennington
The directors and officials of Fleetwood Town FC would like to pay
tribute to secretary, Kevin Pennington, who resigned for personal reasons last
week.
Kevin's contribution to Fleetwood Town FC over the past 9 years
has been outstanding and will never be forgotten. Throughout the club’s various
ups and downs he was a reassuring and loyal presence and during that time
deservedly established a reputation as one of the most competent, diligent and
respected secretaries in North-West non-league football.
All connected with the club are immensely grateful for all Kevin's
hard work and wish to place on record their sincere thanks for the work he has
undertaken on the club’s behalf.
It follows too that we would like to wish Kevin and his family
well in the future.
Thanks again. Kevin. Kindest Regards ,
The Directors and Officials of Fleetwood Town FC

John
Hardiker leaves for Forest Green Rovers
John
Hardiker has again linked up with his ex Morecambe boss, Jimmy Harvery, this
time at Conference side Forest Green Rovers.
After
a disappointing run of form, Hardiker recently lost his place in the Fleetwood
first team and so the opportunity for the versatile defender to move on was
timely for both parties.
Hardiker
has joined Rovers on loan with a view to a permanent move.
Fleetwood
will seek an immediate replacement as they look to strengthen their squad with
a view to reviving their hopes of a third successive promotion.
Chairman
Andy Pilley was keen to stress that Hardiker’s departure was for purely
football reasons and that the club remains as ambitious as ever as they seek to
recruit the highest calibre of non league talent possible. Pilley commented:
"There is no doubt that John is a talented player but for whatever reason
he has not managed to consistently find his best form at Fleetwood. We
therefore felt that this move was in the best interests of all concerned and it
now allows manager Tony Greenwood to go out a find a replacement as we bid to
force our way back into the promotion pack".
All
connected with Fleetwood Town FC would like to wish John Hardiker every success
in the future.

Player
Released
Fleetwood
Town today released centre half Joe McMahon and immediately replaced him with
Morecambe’s Shaun Gray who joins Town on loan for a second spell but this time
with a view to a permanent move.
McMahon only joined Fleetwood in the summer for an undisclosed fee from
Lancaster City. Despite his obvious ability, Joe endured a torrid time at
Highbury and will now be looking to make a fresh start with Vauxhall Motors who
moved promptly to sign McMahon as soon as he became available. All connected
with Fleetwood Town would like to wish Joe all the very best of luck for the
future.
Gray is no stranger to Town fans having enjoyed a highly successful loan spell
at Highbury last season when he played a key role in helping Fleetwood to
clinch promotion. During his 11 games for Town last season, Gray became a big
favourite with the Fleetwood fans who are sure to welcome the talented centre
half back for what is hoped will become a permanent arrangement.
Salisbury

A
spirited performance from Fleetwood was not enough to overcome a very strong
