Press
Release: New Stand Development.
This project is still in the planning stages and
the talks that have taken place to-date have been merely explorative.
However, club officials are determined to make this happen with a view to
continuing the
re-development of Highbury Stadium and realising our ultimate dream of
Conference National football for Fleetwood Town FC.
As an aside, Fleetwood Gym officials have expressed an
interest in renting some of the land on which the new stand is built but this
is only one of many issues still requiring resolution and it is important to
point out that no decision has made by FTFC in this regard. Whatever decision
we do make will be one that is in the best interests of FTFC.
The new
Photographic
Help Wanted:
You're all aware of our photographer Jamie Blundell and the
excellent work that he produces on behalf of the club; well now he would like a
little help.
If Jamie had a second photographer working with him, that
would not only improve the coverage and quality of the match photos, but it
would also make it easier to cater for the increasing 'off the field'
photographic demands of the club. If you are interested please email the club -
or have a word with Jamie at the game on
Saturday.
