Avro FC

Our chairman Rob Fuller has given the reasoning behind the decision to offer adult season tickets at what he believes to be an unbeatable price of £120 for the upcoming 26-27 season, the Ro’s first ever appearance at step 3 of the non league pyramid. Supporters will also be given the opportunity to pay immediately, in 30 days or in three instalments of £40 via Klarna. Concessionary season tickets are available for just £80, and under 21s can attend all 21 league games for just £50.

We are delighted to be able to confirm that talented centre half Jack Kenny has signed for Conference North side Chester. Grant Shenton had this to say about the move: ‘When I sat down with Jack at the start of last season, he had clear goals. He wanted to play as much as possible, compete in a side pushing at the top end of the league and ultimately earn the opportunity to move back into full time football.

It’s been a busy 24 hours for Grant Shenton! Here’s what he had to say about the following: Renewing his contract and his ambitions for the 26-27 season ‘I always had every intention of staying regardless of interest from elsewhere, but it was still nice to get it sorted so soon after our promotion was confirmed.

Avro earned promotion to the Northern Premier League Premier Division after a 4-2 victory at home against Stalybridge Celtic in the promotion playoff final. Eight minutes into the match, Darrhyl Mason was played through on goal with only Charlie Monks, the Stalybridge keeper, to beat. Mason took his chance, sending the ball flying towards the bottom right corner of the net, but Monks flew into action, tipping it past the post.

Avro progressed through to the final of the NPL West playoffs after a close match against Lower Breck on Tuesday night It was non-stop action in the first half for both sides, with Breck getting the early chance. The ball was played in behind the defence for Sam Burn, who attempted a shot on goal, but got zero power behind the shot, so it was an easy save for Cam Mason.

Ahead of our Northern Premier League West Play-Off Final on Saturday afternoon, we caught up with Grant Shenton as he provided his thoughts on the season so far and his mindset going into our fixture this weekend. Thanks for your time, Shents! How pleased were you to see the squad fight right until the very end after a couple of setbacks throughout the game? I never doubted the lads’ fight right until the final whistle. I would never question their heart or application.

Avro host the biggest fixture in their history when we welcome Stalybridge Celtic on Saturday afternoon in The Northern Premier League West Play-Off Final. After a dramatic Semi-Final on Tuesday evening, beating Lower Breck in a penalty shootout, The Ro will take confidence and belief into this tie especially with the advantage of the game being played on home turf at The Vestacare.

Ahead of our fixture with Lower Breck this evening in our Play-Off Semi-Final, we caught up with Grant Shenton as he provided his thoughts on our NPL West campaign and his mindset heading into the Play-Offs. We would like to thank Grant for this time and wish him and the squad all the best for this evening as they look to book their place in the final on Saturday afternoon. Your thoughts on the season as a whole? It’s been a positive season overall.
