New Goalposts At Surrey Street
Tue 28th September 2010 | Glossop North End | By Ian Templeman
One of Glossop North End's most loyal sponsors has presented the club with new goalposts and nets for the Surrey Street ground.
Not content with raising money for charity with a recent veterans football match at Surrey Street raising around £1000, generous Eugene Gallagher has dipped into his own pocket to provide the club with the new posts.
The previous posts were getting a little rusty and ready for replacement, and Eugene was quick on the scene to offer help, adding on the new blue and white striped nets that he hopes Glossop players will fill with goals over the course of the season.
Eugene, and his company Delta Force, have been providing free security for the Hillmen, since responding to a desperate call for help a few years ago after the club suffered another break-in.Â
Since then he, and his dogs Bobby and Toby, have become popular characters at the club, and can often be seen taking in games on a match day. North End are exceptionally grateful to Eugene and his colleagues for their generosity and work at the club.
