It was great to be at the White Bank Road Vestacare Stadium this weekend to see Avro secure a solid 1-0 win over Nantwich Town, to move to joint top of the NPL West!
Last month, we met with club director Rob Fuller, Oldham Council & Action Together, to discuss progress on investment in the important community ground, thank you for having me once again for the match.
Since taking on the then derelict site, the team have worked tirelessly to transform the ground and clubhouse into a thriving community venue, now home to many junior teams drawing in over 500 boy and girl players, and the Anthony Crolla boxing gym. Local institutions like these are vital for providing opportunities to our young people and put them onto a positive path in their youth.
It was a pleasure to present certificates to the team of hardworking volunteers and to promote the Entain’s “Pitching In” programme and its volunteering hub.
I also managed to pour a good Guinness too, or at least I thought so!
