Eastenders join the “home of Grassroots football”
As part of its ongoing Development Plan, Easington United AFC is delighted to announce the official launch of a new web site on Monday (1st December): www.clubwebsite.co.uk/easingtonunited.
The Eastenders have teamed up with Club Website UK (“The Home of Grassroots Football) to launch the new site, which aims to be “a one-stop shop for club members or players to access all they need to know about their club - fixtures, results, match reports, league tables, club news and information – plus the latest news from the grassroots game across the country”.
As “the first port of call for hundreds of thousands of grassroots players across the UK” Club Website is an “attractive partner for governing bodies and commercial partners alike” – a fact supported by its affiliation to the Welsh Football Trust and the Scottish Youth Football Association and “official partner” status with Umbro UK. Other partners include well-known brands such as Virgin Media and Lucozade as well as football-related bodies, FC Business Magazine and Fair Game. In addition, the organisation already has over 12,000 clubs registered.
Such a tie-in potentially offers sponsors of Easington United AFC far greater exposure than was otherwise ever likely. Therefore, besides being a way of saying thank you to those businesses and individuals whose support has been vital over the past decade or so, the hope is that many more will be attracted by what is a very professional looking set-up.
In launching the new website, the Eastenders Management Committee would like to thank Andy Medcalf for all his invaluable support since the first Eastenders site appeared back in February 2003 (attracting almost 50,000 visitors). The latter will remain “live” for archive purposes for several months, while Andy will also remain an integral part of our support team for the new site and the award-winning match programme.
CLUB NOTES
Snow forced postponement of the First Team’s scheduled meeting with leaders Chalk Lane at Low Farm last Saturday. It is now five weeks since the win against Cleethorpes last time out and returning Manager Mack will be hoping his players can remember and repeat their performance that day if the weather allows this Saturday’s visit of North Ferriby United Reserves to take place. Squad-wise Anthony Barnett could come into contention having been away last week.
Having finally got their first league points at the weekend, Craig Smalley’s Stiffs side could be frustrated by the fixture list this week, following postponement of their scheduled trip to Sculcoates Amateurs Reserves. The Club currently awaits news from the County League of any rearrangements – check the web site for latest developments.
The Casuals were also snowed off last weekend and will hope to return to action at home to North Newbald on Saturday.
Training continues at Withernsea High School Sports Hall every Wednesday (8pm-9pm).
