Welcome to Stormy Corner...
THE SKELMERSDALE & ORMSKIRK COLLEGE STADIUM
FRIDAY 3RD JULY 2009.
SKELMERSDALE & ORMSKIRK COLLEGE STADIUM.
I'm pleased to announce that after a meeting with College Principle Louise Dawson and Head of Marketing Jane Hines, our main club sponsors have agreed to extend their relationship with the club for at least another year.
I'm very proud to announce this news especially during a period of economic uncertainty.
The relationship between the College and the Football club will be further enhanced over the next few months, and I genuinely believe it is the best step forward from a community minded perspective.
The official publicity launch will be made at the Plymouth Argyle game on Saturday 18th July 2009 and I hope that people will turn out in their numbers and show their appreciation towards the Skelmersdale & Ormskirk College, as we are truly indebted to them for showing such support during a very testing time financially.
