Mossley are currently unable to play any fixtures at their Seel Park home as a result of the club's floodlight pylons being declared as unsafe.

On New Years Eve two of the original eight pylons collapsed within a 12 hour period. As a result, the committee called in the Tameside Health & Safety advisors, to assess the safety of the remaining six.

On the 20th January an independent structural engineering company, recommended by TMBC inspected the remaining pylons and declared them as unsafe.

As a result, all home matches must now be played away from Seel Park, until the matter is resolved. Other local clubs have been approached to play the forthcoming UniBond League fixtures at their grounds.

The anticipated cost of replacing the lights is around £30k, which the club's officials are desperately trying to raise, through funding applications and donations.

Fortunately Tameside Council have offered to contribute 50% of the cost, but we still desperately need the balance!
Mossley Football Club has been run by a voluntary committee since being in financial problems in May 2009. They have, until November 2009 successfully raised sufficient funds to pay current debts and keep to agreements with the creditors they inherited.

But now with not having played for some seven weeks due to bad weather they are confronted by this major and costly problem.

Mossley urgently need your support to ensure that Mossley continues to have a football team and importantly remains part of the community!

Any donations can be made to the club, either by cheque (Mossley AFC), direct into the Mossley AFC bank account or via PayPal on the clubs website; www.mossleyweb.com
