Chairman’s Chat Firstly I would like to thank our supporters on behalf of the team and myself, for showing their loyal support in both home and away matches; it’s very much appreciated and we hope you’re enjoying the football being played. Plans are progressing with the development off the field, these things do take a little longer to get through all the red tape, however having held meetings with the FA and Football Foundation, I have now been given permission to convert a changing room into a players function room. This will double up as a member’s lounge which I think is fantastic for both football and our social members. Quotes have been done to erect a new enclosed fence to the Altrincham Road end and will be submitted to the Football Foundation fund for approval. The plans for the floodlights and measurements required for planning have been completed and will shortly be submitted for approval. There are ongoing plans to erect a full length stand along the Tesco side of the pitch. The ongoing application to enter the North West Counties League and new ground grading by the FA, will enable us to plan and continue our club’s development. Thank you to our supporters, social members and sponsors for your continued support, the club appreciate it very much. Together we will achieve. Kenny Hope, WTFC Chairman
