On behalf of everyone at Leek CSOB F.C. I would like to thank John Pointon and sons Ltd and the Cheddleton charity committee for giving us the opportunity of playing football up at the splendid Pointon Park.

I would also like to thank all those people associated with Leek CSOB who have worked tirelessly towards finding a new home for the Club over the last few years.
We had a positive meeting with Pointons and the Charity committee in March where we agreed a lease which will allow the first team, the reserves and the ladies team to all play up at Cheddleton.
This gives us all at Leek CSOB an excellent foundation to build on and we all look forward to playing at Pointon Park and building a strong relationship with the Company, the Committee and the local community.

Hyde continued “ whilst we are of course keen to progress on the field it is actually more important to Leek CSOB that we continue to build a strong and healthy club off the field over the next couple of years.

We must also mention and express our thanks to our main club sponsor Esterchem Ltd and the Bray family, who have remained very loyal sponsors to Leek CSOB over many years now and we are delighted that they have committed to support us again next season.
Duncan Bray will continue as President of Leek CSOB, something we are very proud of and his sons Adam and Paul have been very helpful and supportive".
