ANNUAL REPORT
August 1st 2023 – July 31st 2024
On 13 May 2024 our founder member Alan Frank Bradbury MBE sadly passed away following a short illness. Alan was a leader, an ambassador, a gentleman but most of all a friend to every who has passed through our organisation. He touched the lives of many people including thousands of children who he genuinely loved as they were his own. He will be forever in our hearts and remembered with great fondness.
## Football
The number of teams for this season is 47, split between 38 boy’s teams and 7 Girls team. The boy’s teams play in two separate Leagues, they are the Manchester Youth Super League and the East Manchester Junior Football League. Our Girls teams play in the North Manchester Girl’s Football League and South Manchester Girl’s Football League. In addition to these we have our Walking Football team for the older generation. The Club is affiliated to Manchester Football Association under Droylsden Youth Centre FC which is the umbrella organisation covering the activities of the all sections of our football teams. The Soccer School is progressing well, this forms the teams of the future under the guidance of John Kenny our Head Coach. This season we have formed four teams to go into Leagues, The Soccer School play every Saturday morning from 10-15am to 11-15am and the Girls known as the Wildcats play on Sunday mornings, 10-00am to 11-00pm under the Guidance of John Kenny and Stuart Buckley.
Walking Football
Droylsden Walking football is getting bigger and better with many new members attending Tuesday and Thursdays, the Droylsden walking football session are all about men over the age of 60+ having fun, a game of football and a drink and a chat afterwards, many of the men have various problems which the football really helps. Player’s ages range from 60 to 80 years this past year has been a hard year for some of our players with various injuries and illnesses but there are always people there to give help and support within our walking football team.
Our main aim is socialising and player’s wellbeing also being a part of Droylsden Juniors Football Club
With the sad passing of Mr Alan Bradbury Founder member of Droylsden walking football we didn’t have a presentation evening which a token trophy reward for the player’s dedication and commitment towards attending the walking football regularly over the year.
England Football Accredited Club***
This is the highest award for junior amateur football clubs given by the Football Association. We have once again been awarded *** Accreditation.
Phase 2 Development Update
The Synthetic grass pitch is fully booked up, but with forty-seven teams needing a training evening we are hiring pitches at Wright Robinson
College, Sporting Edge and Droylsden Academy.
Things are progressing well with the Football Foundation and Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council to convert our training pitch into a full-size synthetic football pitch by extending into the adjacent park. This scheme is fully supported by Manchester FA. Regular meetings have taken place and we hope to have some positive news in the near future.
Club Café (Four-Four-Brew)
The café is going from strength to strength under the management of
Shirley Atherton. Due to requests from members, we are
opening on Saturdays and Sundays every week offering hot food, crisps, chocolate bars, hot and cold drinks delivered in our Community Room.
We can also show the activities on the pitch on the big screen. In the Community Room on wet days so the parents are not outside in the bad weather.
Community Room
“Feedo Needo” is a Registered Charity offering the Canteen Facility for four days per week, with a food bank on Mondays Tuesdays Wednesday and Thursdays every week. The arrangement offers the older residents in the area to participate free of charge during the daytime from10-30am until 1-30pm centrally heated Community room. Tea and Coffee offered free of charge.
Greater Manchester Youth Federation
We continue to be affiliated to the above organisation which gives us access to other facilities and activities that we cannot provide, this includes Snooker, Pool, Table Tennis, canoeing and outdoor facilities.

Nike Partnership
This season we are using the Park V11 kit in red and the Park 20
Training kit in royal blue. The footballs are all Nike branded both in match and practice ball. We receive discounted prices on all Nike goods purchased from Kitlocker(UK)Ltd in Sheffield, through the partnership scheme with Nike. We have signed up for another three year contract as we like the brand.
Boxing
Droylsden ABC now have 25 registered boxers with England boxing, who have been out boxing all over country (Liverpool, Leeds Newcastle, etc.) there are a few more registered boxers to come in the next few months so we are going from strength to strength
Droylsden ABC had a boxing show at Stanley House on Friday 17th November 2023 which went fantastically well, with Droylsden having some great wins, everyone did a great job in making it a great success
Ex world champion Anthony Crolla, Droylsden Professionals Kane Gardener and Johnny Kiely were in attendance to present the trophies.
In December 23 Droylsden ABC had a food and toy appeal over the Xmas period which went very well indeed, we give the food to local families, the elderly and the vulnerable, and the toys to a local young mother and baby unit and the children’s unit at Tameside hospital, parents and people within the local community give generously both food and toys to make this a great success each and every year
In April 2024 Droylsden ABC had 3 North West Regional Schoolboy Champions 2 reached the Schoolboy National finals in Newcastle this was a great achievement in there first year of entering a national championships. Very Well Done Boys.
Food Donations - August 1st 2023 - July 31st 2024
We are still a big part of Fairshare an organisation which helps with food donations, I (Ian Harrison) pick up from Tesco (Droylsden) on a Tuesday and Saturday evening. This has been continuing throughout the past year which has a big help to all many local families.
I (Ian Harrison) am the main contact for the food donations which I receive and pick up every Tuesday and Saturday evenings from which I
distribute to the club (Feedo Needo) who give to many local families, the elderly and the vulnerable, we also help a local young mother and baby unit with the donations this has been a great help to everyone who receive the food e.g. Bread, cakes, Flowers, Fruit and Veg.
Finance
Our income is £175,872 and our expenditure is £170,191. Although our income has reduced slightly our expenses have too giving a small increase in our net profit.
Summary
We have managed to maintain our membership and minimise our expenditure resulting in a small increase in our net profit.
The amount of work put in over the season works out at approximately 60,000-man hours per year at the going rate of £20 per hour equals £!,200,000 (a very conservative estimate).
Our thanks go to all volunteers at the club, from the Committee,
Managers, Coaches, Parents and Volunteers. They have given their free time to put it to such good use for all our members. We look
forward to the coming season and possible expansion of our facilities.
