INTRODUCTION
Good afternoon to everyone attending today’s game against Hanley Town in the Northern Premier League West.
A quick message from Avro’s new head of media, Jamie Ross: I’m delighted to take on the role as head of media at Avro. I have been in this role for just over a month now and it has been a busy couple of weeks behind the scenes. There are plenty of positive projects, news and fixtures in the works at the club which I’m excited to share in the near future.
I have been at the club for nearly 4 years now so I’m sure you will have all seen me around and know the passion and commitment I have for the club. I have been a part of successful media teams over the past few years so I’m looking forward to continuing this work forwards.
My main goal for taking on this role is to continue to produce media outputs at a high standard as I view our media channels as the best in the league which I hope you can all agree with. I am lucky to have a strong team around me which is reflected in the publications across our channels so far this season.
Thank you for your time, enjoy the game!
Jamie Ross

We would also like the time to thank our former Head of Media, Rob Currell. Rob was a very dedicated member of the Avro family and we wish him all the best of successes in the future.
The next home fixture will be against Gilla FC in the highly the anticipated Fenix Trophy on Tuesday, 12th November at 7:45pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
In 1981/82 The Town were the Mid-Cheshire League champions and continued to play until 1994 when they left the league to regroup in junior football.
Two years later, they rejoined the league in division two and then joined the Midland league in 1998/99.
Hanley Town eventually won the Midland League in 2005 before the league then merged with Staffs County League to form the Staffordshire County League. They won this new league format in its inaugural year.
In 2013/14 the club joined the North West Counties league and reached the playoffs the season after. They didn’t do enough to gain promotion. Finally in 2015/16 The Town won the league and were promoted to the premier division.
Following the COVID-19 period the side joined the Midland League in 2021/2022 and instantly won the league.
Since 2022/23 Hanley Town have remained in the Northern Premier League West Division and finished 16th and 13th respectively in their first two years there.
