THE new five-man management team who have joined the board of directors at Colwyn Bay say there have no intention of ever returning to Welsh football.
Although the club will face major difficulties next season after being placed in the southern section of the newly restructured Unibond Division One, with many of their away games involving trips to Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, the Cartwright family are totally committed to making progress in the English pyramid.
But new chairman Geoff Cartwright, managing director of the family-run water technologies company PreCom, says it is imperative that the community get fully involved in the club to help reach their target of Conference football within five years.
And the most pressing need is for more volunteers to join the working parties who are battling to meet their ground grading deadline in two weeks time.
Around a dozen or so fans have been working flat out in recent weeks on the ground, but more labour is needed if everything is to be completed in time for the FA ground grading inspection at the end of June.
Work involves putting in new pitch barriers, inserting 400 new seats in the covered spectator area along the far side of the pitch, completing the covered terrace area at the town end of the ground and building new dug outs.
"It is vital we get the work done before the inspection is made at the end of the month and we need more volunteers to help with labouring work between now and then to be sure we meet the target," says the vice-chairman Andy Owens. "The more people who turn up the quicker we can get the work done."
Anyone who can go along on Sunday, June 17, from, 10.30am will be very welcome.
There are also working parties on Tuesdays and Thursday.
The new five-man management team who join the club's board of directors last Tuesday are already drawing up plans to set up links with local schools and community groups to try and get the town involved with helping the club progress.
"A successful football team can benefit the whole area and we are committed to making progress up the English pyramid system and for the community to reap the benefits that can bring with national publicity and more visiting fans coming to the town," added the chairman.
