Glossop North End FOLLOW US ONLINE TWITTER.COM/FOOTYFOCUSMAG Facilities “We have recently finished a huge project that was completed this summer, despite being in the pipeline for many years. Our brand new, state of the art floodlights were installed at our Surrey Street ground and have been a fantastic addition. It’s the biggest project in the club’s history and we are very proud of the achievement. It was all made possible thanks to a generous grant from the football stadia improvement fund, which is a sister organisation 96 Issue 81 of the Football Foundation. We’d like to thank everyone who helped us bring this wonderful project to a successful conclusion.” Challenges/Ambitions “Ultimately, we all have the club’s best interests at heart, and our first priority is always to protect the long-term longevity of the football club. One of the big challenges will be keeping up with increased costs and remaining competitive in the ever-changing world of non-league football. Rest assured the board are working very hard on exploring new revenue streams and growing the club on and off the field both in the short and long term. The primary aim right now is to stabilise Glossop North End’s position in Evo Stik Division 1 West. We have shown before that we have the ability to be competitive in this league and get into the playoffs. Anything can happen in football and we won’t rule anything out!”
