I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone involved at Carlisle City a very happy New Year.
We have a challenging year ahead of us if we want to move our club forward. We need everyone on board. I know how hard it is to run a team and to run one at our club is perhaps even harder as the standards set are very high indeed.
If we are to move our very ambitious Development Plan forward,EVERYONE has to work to the codes and policies set. We have to have excellent administration and accountability if we are to attract the serious financial support we need. SUCCESSFUL FOOTBALL CLUBS NEED MORE THAN GOOD PLAYERS AND GOOD FOOTBALL COACHES.
Perhaps as we move into 2009, we can all think about CLUB and not just TEAM.
Couldn't agree more Joe, the development plan is ambitious and we need everyone at the Club to "buy into it" to help deliver it.
A prime example for me is Whitehaven where Bill Robson and his committee have pushed and pushed to get where they are. They have a superb facility and are continually building upon a really solid infrastructure, good luck to them.
Perhaps we can use them as an example to take our Club forward.
