Sporting fans offer help to Youth Team

BROMSGROVE Sporting’s Supporters Society are to put their skills to good use this season by assisting the matchday administration of the club’s Youth Team.

Society Secretary Andy Parr steps into the unenviable shoes of previous secretary Dave Stephens, but is confident the Society will provide significant support to the club this season which will allow club Directors more time to address other areas to help the club reach it’s goal of financial self-sufficiency.

“We believe the Youth Team is a vital part of the club’s aims and provides a high standard of competition for local u18s to test their skills,” said Society Chair Tracey Unwin.

“Which is why we felt our resources would provide the most valuable assistance to the club in providing matchday administration.”

The Society are already recruiting members to help out with the large number of tasks associated and are hopeful of an excellent season for the town’s youngsters.
