Manchester, Jul. 29, 2021. Stretford Paddock FC are pleased to announce a season-long partnership with Clear Logic Finance as an official sleeve sponsor. As a club we are looking to establish ourselves within the community we play in and see our partnership with Clear Logic Finance as a big step in developing lasting relationships with local businesses.

Clear Logic Finance is a Manchester-based finance firm that helps businesses to access different business finance options as well as tax benefits such as R and D and pride themselves on providing a personal touch to every client. This partnership shows our commitment to working with and bringing in local businesses into the Stretford Paddock FC community.

Paddock and Clear Logic Finance will work together to educate and provide expert advice to our community.

“I’m delighted to announce this partnership with Clear Logic as our sleeve sponsor for the 22/23 season. It is always refreshing to have genuine fans of our club establish a commercial partnership with the club. We believe this is only the start of a long-term relationship between Clear Logic Finance and Stretford Paddock FC.” – Ayodeji Olayemi, Marketing and Commercial Partnerships Lead.

“As a local business and supporters of Stretford Paddock, we were more than happy to build a commercial relationship with an outfit that like ourselves is on the ascendancy. We look forward to a long and rewarding relationship both on and off the field.” – Rameez Haider, Finance Director at Clear Logic Finance.

Stretford Paddock FC are on the lookout for more coaches to join our ever-expanding club with a number of roles available.

Firstly, our Under 21s side is full of young talent and potential – but we require a Manager and Assistant Manager to help drive this team forward. We would look to fill out these two roles as quick as possible with the new season fast approaching.

We also have a number of different roles available across our other teams (First Team, Reserves & Development Team).

All roles are listed below:

• Development Team Assistant Manager
• Under 21s Manager
• Under 21s Assistant Manager
• Coaches (all teams)
• Analysts (Remote or In Person) – Including Professional Training on Hudl Sportscode Software

Although not necessary, experience and/or FA (or foreign equivalents) coaching qualifications are very much welcomed. If you would like to get involved, please send an email to hello@stretfordpaddockfc.com stating the role, your experience, qualifications and what you can offer to the club.

As well as the launch of the Clubs Fan Ownership scheme, the 1^st Team have been accepted into the Cheshire League for the 2022/23 season – It’s going to be a big year for Paddock and you can be apart of it!

At 10:00AM on Wednesday, Stretford Paddock FC hit the ‘LIVE’ button on its Fan Ownership scheme. The members came in their numbers. Within only 24 hours, the tally of members hit 700, and that’s before the launch of the club’s app. It’s been a great start and there’s plenty to come.

Launching the Fan Ownership model is a monumental achievement for the club. What started as colleagues and friends having a kick about quickly became a competitive Saturday League side with a huge online following. With more exciting news on the horizon, the club’s goal forming a fan-owned, community-based club where kids and young players can improve, is well on its way to being achieved.

Waiting on final approvements from the Google Play and App Store is the Stretford Paddock FC App. The App will allow Members to vote on club business, access news and fixture lists, behind the scenes access, early merchandise releases and exclusive interviews. The App will also give new members the option to pay the membership fee in smaller instalments – just £5 a month. It’s going to make being a part of the Stretford Paddock journey even more accessible.

It won’t be long until the ball gets rolling amongst the club’s members. Plans have already been put in place for key decisions to be made surrounding ticket prices, sponsors, core values, academy structures, services, and expansion into a Women’s team. On the pitch, ongoings have also started with a pre-season friendly against Hashtag United well in the works.

When the club find a permanent home (a goal hopefully not so far away), Founder Members will have their names engraved somewhere within the stadium’s vicinity – further showing who this club really belongs to – the fans!

Something special is happening within the grassroots of football and it’s on it’s way to becoming something we can all be proud of.
