TROWBRIDGE Town manager Neil Kirkpatrick is looking ahead to next season after his young side vowed they would all stay together.

Uncertainty over a new ground had sparked fears their successful side could break up this summer but at a players' meeting at the weekend, Kirkpatrick got the assurances he was looking for.

With the club on the verge on announcing a new site for a ground, Trowbridge should be eligible for promotion this time next season and Kirkpatrick is now focusing on that dream.

He said: "I am now 99 percent certain that everyone is staying. We had a players' meeting and the lads were very positive and said they wanted to give it another year.

"We want to achieve the promotion to the Hellenic Premier Division that we deserved this season and we all want to progress together.

"I know that one or two of our players have been offered ridiculous money to move elsewhere but money is not everything as the players just want to enjoy their football."

Trowbridge finished runners up in their first season in the Hellenic League first Division West but were unable to take promotion due to their Woodmarsh home not matching ground requirements.
