Even more players and officials from Grantham Town will be ferried to fixtures with Sleafordian Coaches this season after the expansion of their relationship as the EVO-STIK Northern Premier League club's official travel partners.

"Extremely pleased" Gingerbreads officials announced on Wednesday that the company will be putting on a dedicated service to transport players at their new academy to and from the Meres as well as continuing to meet the travel needs of the first team in the EVO-STIK NPL's top flight.

Sleafordian's Mark Broughton, pictured alongside Grantham director Pete Railton and Dick Short, said: “We are delighted to continue our excellent relationship with The Gingerbreads and look forward to working with Alex [Cross] and his team in the academy to assist in playing a small part in what will hopefully lead to the next generation of Grantham Town players progressing to the first team.”

Gingerbreads director Sophie Cope said: “It’s brilliant that Sleafordian have been able to accommodate such a service for the Academy. We’re proud of our relationship and look forward to it continuing in the years to come.”
