Today in a press conference held at a secure location, Matt Wilson announced the plans for 2011/2012 season. Varsity City Football Club is no longer in existence and from yesterday became Hykeham Tigers F.C.
"This is a massive step for us, we're building for a strong, consistent and secure future and we have done this by joining forces with the fastest growing Youth Football Club in Europe. The facilities here are brilliant, we have everything we need at our fingertips, and the move will open plenty of new pathways for manager's and players alike"
This change of Team Name, will also see a change of structure within the football club, to incorporate the club's new position. The club has a key role in providing role models to the hundreds of Children that encompass the already large Hykeham Tigers JFC. Wilson spoke about the changes to the structure of the team
" Well for a start I shall be stepping down as Assistant Manager of the football club, and leaving the door open for Jonathan Page and Darren Giovannetti to co-manage the side next year. I've been appointed as Club Captain for the 2011/2012 with the Team Captain to be decided throughout the season. Andy Farrer has been appointed Director of Football at the club, whilst Hykeham Tigers current secretary Mike Moore takes over as Club Secretary. With regards to on the pitch, we are to announce very shortly the retained list for the 2011-2012 season."
It is unclear what Divison Hykeham will be placed in next season, but have applied for Division Three. We are hoping that next season can be a huge one for us, and bring us lots of success and a massive amount of team spirit
