What an absolute delight it is for me to extend a warm welcome to everyone at<br />
<strong>Shifnal</strong> <strong>Town</strong> for our first home Premier Division game in more than 6 years.<br />
Under the joint management team of Dan Carter and Andrew Carrier <strong>Shifnal</strong><br />
got off to a great start last Saturday and are expected to do extremely well this<br />
season. Their players and officials are most welcome to join us for our award<br />
winning half time and post match hospitality.<br />
Well, since our last home league game in March an awful lot has happened. Of<br />
course the biggest thing to happen was our promotion and I thank and<br />
congratulate Andy, his management team and players for the enjoyment they<br />
gave to us all and for their magnificent season.<br />
The promotion kicked in our Football Foundation grant of £51,000 towards our<br />
floodlights. We still have to contribute £23,000 to the total cost of approx.<br />
£75,000. This was planned and budgeted for and the club funds have been in<br />
place for some time. As you can see work on the floodlights has started and all<br />
of the civil and ground works have been completed. Including the installation of<br />
the pads for the floodlight pylons, and all of the electrical cable has been laid in<br />
underground conduits ready for connection.<br />
We expect the pylons and lamps to be erected within the next 2 weeks. We are<br />
then in the hands of Western Power and Npower to connect the supply before<br />
the big switch on. However all is on schedule to meet the FA and League<br />
deadline of 30 September 2019. We are looking to get some prestigious<br />
opponents for the formal opening and as soon as we know anymore<br />
we will let you know.<br />
