Speedwellbus step down as main sponsor


Club Director Adrian Priestly has made the following statement following the clubs announcement that Speedwellbus are stepping down from their position as main club sponsor.

It is with deep regret and much sadness that we have to announce that Speedwell have ended their sponsorship of Glossop North End.

This has obviously come as a huge blow and potential setback, at an exciting time when we are trying hard to move the Club forward, both on and off the pitch. To say that those who already know are devastated by the news, would be a gross understatement and no one more than me, as I worked very hard initially, to set the deal up.

We received the news a few days ago and Paul Banham has also resigned as a Director of the Club.

No doubt there will be much said on this issue, but before anybody passes comment, I would ask them to consider this. Speedwell came on board to help us, when nobody else would and I honestly believe that their enthusiasm, drive and financial assistance, was absolutely key in a successful league season, that only " stuttered " towards the end and of course, the previously unthinkable and unstopable march to Wembley. Without them, I am not so sure that things would have worked out quite the same.

The Club would like to make it very clear that we will be eternally grateful to Speedwell, for what they have done for us.
