Tipton Town
“The mood at the
club at the moment
is buoyant, excited
and looking forward
to the next game.”
win over Sporting Khalsa, the football
club parted company with their recently
appointed first team management team
and the aftermath left them with just three
locally registered players.
Director of Football Mike Pitt who was
in charge of the clubs youth development,
quickly put together a side with local
home grown under 18 & U21’s players
to represent their Town club in the MFL.
After a few weeks a new management
team of Nicky Pugh and Wes Cox were
put in place. Both have a long established
links with the club and are looking
forward the challenge ahead.
Secretary Ann Wheale took the time
to talk with Football Focus Magazine,
saying, “I have been with Tipton Town
since my son, Matthew, started to play in
TTFC’s under 7’s and he’s now playing
for on Saturdays in the JPL league in
under 15’s.
The
mood at
the club at
the moment
is
buoyant,
excited
and
looking forward to
the next game. So far
the season hasn’t gone
too well with us having to
part company with the manager
we brought in in the close season,
but with the appointment of Nicky Pugh
and Wes Cox we are turning everything
around.
Youth football is extremely important
to the club, as it’s the life blood and future.
The first team is the pinnacle of the club,
but grassroots is extremely important
with developing the players from all ages
from our under 7’s to our 1st team and
we also have a ladies team. The club’s
ambition is first and foremost to survive,
with hopefully investment to sustain the
clubs future.”
