Frome Town Football Club is looking forward to a bright future, with the club and its supporters working together to bring success.
The club’s committee board say a ‘significant step’ has been made in rebuilding its relationship with the Frome Town Supporters Club, and hope the two groups can put the disagreements of the past year behind them to push the club forward.
The committee board and supporters club have agreed to work together on the objective of creating a ‘thriving’ Frome Town Football Club, both on and off the field. It follows a row last year when the club said its relationship with the Supporters Club was ‘broken’.
In a statement the club said, “We are delighted to report that the first official and formalised meeting has now taken place between the football club board and the committee of the supporters club.
“A significant step in rebuilding relationships between the two parties, as we endeavour to work more closer in regards to supporter-led initiatives and the goal of building a stronger fan base for the club. We are pleased with the progress so far, as both parties have come together around the objective of creating a thriving Frome Town Football Club, both on the field and for the supporters off the field.
“Although these are hugely positive steps for the club to move forwards, the club remains seriously underfunded in relation to our commercial deals, which we continue to fight to improve on a weekly basis.
“The club’s success in the recent cup competitions and increases in attendance are helping, of which we are truly grateful for the support of every person that comes to our home games. The club is desperate to attract new business partners and connections within the local business community to ensure the medium to longer term security of the club.”

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
