This could leave us another point lighter.
As most people are aware my brother Godfrey has single-handed been supporting Halesowen Town Football Club for the past two years, in order to give the club time to develop income from commercial and community activities. The resources he has put into the club has enabled it to survive in a climate where clubs all around have been folding. Prior to this he was supporting the previous owner in his attempts to bring success to this football club, futile as they may have been.
Following a recent meeting I confirmed a budget increase to give the football management a fighting chance of keeping the club in the Southern Premier. However following the recent article in the Halesowen News, which was considered by many, including my brother, as a vicious and unnecessary “Personal Attack” by sensationalising a private business matter taking place some 8,000 miles away, the club has now been placed in a very exposed position.
As you are no doubt aware because of the article Godfrey has now withdrawn all his support and associations towards Halesowen Town Football Club. The very real effect of this can only be considered as devastating from a business point of view as the club, with no benefactor and with commercial activity growing but still at a minimum, is commercially unsustainable.
As you may know, as well as Club Chairman I am also the sole director of Halesowen Town Football Club. In my capacity as director, I am bound by the companies act to conduct responsible trading practices. In the absence of new benefactors or commercial sponsors to support the club through this difficult time, I may be left with no alternative other than to cease trading very shortly and effectively wind up the football club.
Any serious prospective benefactor/s or sponsors need to get contact the club within the next 5 days.
