Northumberland FA
“I am an ex-football player of Morpeth Town
FC, playing fifteen seasons for the club, in
my preferred position of striker. I am now the
club’s chairman and have been since 1992,
enjoy the role of chairman even with it being
demanding at times. The guys have had a
fantastic year this year in the league and the
club is currently going through expansions
ready for the step up.
I have been sponsoring Morpeth Town since
I became chairman in 1992 and have also
been sponsoring the Northumberland FA for
the last five/six years, doing various things
including events nights and also sponsoring
Cups.
I appreciate all the hard work and time
that goes into the Northumberland FA and
Morpeth Town FC, and would love to see
the game become more popular across the
board in U18 teams. Real credit to everyone
involved.”

selected group achieve a multitude of coaching awards up to and
including their Level 2 Coaching Award as well as awards across
goalkeeping, futsal and disability football.
It is hoped these scholarships will reach budding coaches whom
may not, for whatever reason, have the opportunity to achieve their
coaching ambitions. We will then look to provide exciting exit routes
for these coaches, whether being deployed back into our clubs or
further afield.
AC: Our ambition is to be the best County FA around, we
want to provide an excellent service to all aspects of football in
Northumberland to facilitate real growth in participation. We are
currently looking into the feasibility of redeveloping or acquiring a new County FA Headquarters with a view to providing a first-class
hub for the grassroots game in Northumberland. This project is very
much in its infancy, however as a county FA we are very ambitious
and we would ultimately like a high-spec facility to incorporate all
aspects of the game.
JA: We are currently approaching the midway point of our current
four-year business plan and we have a mandate to grow the number of
playing participants to 27,763 players by the end of season 2020/2021.
To put that into perspective we currently house 24,144 players across
all aspects of the grassroots game, therefore we are looking for a 15%
rise in playing numbers of the next two seasons.
I am sure you will agree these are very challenging numbers but
we are confident we have a sound operational model in place to not
just achieve these numbers but grow far past what is expected of us
by The FA.
“Global Image Embroidery became involved with the
Northumberland FA roughly nine years ago through a friendship
between Les Todd and myself and which he helped us be a part
of such a respected affiliation.
Over the business relationship our company has supplied
embroidered staff uniform to the FA alongside sponsoring various
competitions including women’s and juniors’ cups.
It is great to be a part of such a local respected affiliation and a
real credit to everyone working to help grow and expand the reach
it has to get more people involved with the sport.” “Quadrant Leisure have been the Northumberland FA County
Cup U12 sponsors since 2017. As a director I was very keen to
support the grassroots game. I have been a licensed coach for
18 years so you could say the Northumberland FA have played a
huge part in my time in grassroots.
My coaching qualifications and CPD courses through the NFA
have always been very well organised, very well attended and
great fun. The NFA have offered me the opportunity to develop as
a coach and supported my organisation with sound advice over
the last two years.”
