TELEPHINE : 01757 212727 WEBSITE : WWW . SHIELDPEST . CO . UK UNIT 12A , MARKET CROSS , SELBY , NORTH YORKSHIRE YO8 4JS football authorities as well as the local council . My role also covers the running of the Clubhouse bar , the organising of all the amenities costs etc .
“ We are all volunteers that have to juggle our duties with work commitments and family life as well . The Football Club does take over much of your life which can get frustrating . I suppose the most satisfying aspect is the end of each season but my role does continue throughout the year so there is very little respite .
“ The general mood amongst the whole Club is a mixture of hope and for things to improve on the field of play . The season so far has not gone as well as we had hoped as we are bit off the pace for a play-off place for promotion . Over the remainder of the season we would hope to win as many points as possible and regroup for the next campaign .
“ Youth football is very important to us and we have just welcomed a school of excellence to the Club . They offer youth football from the age of 5 to Under 21 ’ s with the hope that these kids can progress to Selby Town or higher status clubs or even professional Clubs . Under Selby ’ s umbrella we would try to help them promote themselves .
“ Although Selby only have the one pitch the various groups do use other facilities around the area . Already at the Club we have two very strong teams U14 ’ s and U19 ’ s who do use our facilities . We are very much a Club for the community and offer out our Clubhouse for parties etc .
We are approaching our centenary year in 2019 and we are already planning a host of celebrations throughout that season with a special kit , scarves , badges , etc .
“ We are ambitious and we take inspiration from Tadcaster Albion ’ s recent huge success in the last two years where they enjoyed two promotions to leave us in their wake .
“ Our ground has undergone a very much needed spruce up forced upon us by our governing body but it was needed although it still does look like a very dated ground and our loyal band of volunteers are seeking as much funding as they can through the many grant bodies out there who may help us bring the facilities up to date . So in summary the football is usually pushed aside as I become more of a landlord than a secretary !” www . footballfocus . biz 27
