Bedlington Terriers Appeal for Help - Official Press Release

Bedlington Terriers today issued a plea for help to the local community. Having stabilised the club over the previous 18 months chairman Dave Holmes is eager for an injection of fresh blood into the club.

"We have a fantastically loyal committee behind the scenes at Bedlington but we lack in numbers and if we can get some extra faces willing to help us, in whatever capacity they can, we could make huge strides forward" said Holmes. "Clubs at this level find it very hard to survive day to day and we are no different, I'm looking to the community to help us. We have had well documented problems in the past, but that is exactly where those times lie, in the past. We must look to the future, the club is now stabilised and with Keith and Tony looking after the football side of things, it's up to myself and the committee to give them as much support as possible to ensure we have a team capable of challenging for honours".

With big plans for the playing squad next season, the club is already starting to look at how to raise the necessary funds to give the town the team it deserves. Sponsorship is the key area where non league club funds come from and that is an area where Holmes is asking the local community for help.

"Bedlington is home to many successful businesses and it would be nice to think that they would want to get behind their local club and get a bit of exposure at the same time. We are more than grateful to the local businesses that already support us, we are indebted to them for sticking by the club, but we need more. Bedlington is a big town and it would be a travesty if at some point in the future it didn't have a football club, but without support that is what will happen".

With President Graeme Redpath recently departing the Welfare Park outfit, Holmes is keen to push the club on but cannot do it without new faces getting involved with the running of the club.

"The new season is still a number of months off, but planning for it has already started so there is no better time for people to get involved, whether it be on a match day or not. Absolutely anybody who wants to get involved will be welcomed to the club and if any businesses would like to discuss sponsorship packages, then I'm all ears!"
