Hi Everyone,

I am sure you can appreciate the effort that was put in the site last year but now after a season of it being available I think we need to take it on to another level.

Interest has been in-frequent in the site so I am looking for people to put any ideas that they have for the site on the bottom of this entry as comments so that we can add them together and discuss them at the next Junior meeting.

Please be free to suggest anything you want and hopefully it will be added to the site to make sure it becomes as good as we need it to.

Many Thanks,

Silsden Juniors

The latest on our Footballs Coming Home appeal is that we have now lodged our grant application with the Football Foundation well in time of their April 9th deadline. They sit to consider in late April with a decision around late May early June. I must take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped with the application and in particular the West Riding County Football Association who have been brilliant in backing us.
We also have grant applications out to 2 other sources so its fingers crossed time here @Silsden.
