CFU Helps To Sign Beesley
Beesley was one of Jimmy Quinn's targets in the January transfer window but United's initial approach had been rejected.
Whilst United had secured the transfers of defender Wayne Hatswell, striker Lee McEvilly (loan) and midfield duo Paul Carden (loan) and Ben Farrell, it had seemed likely that they would miss out on Beesley, the man who had provided many of the goals scored by the Conference's leading scorer, Stuart Fleetwood.
That was until CFU stepped in with £10,000 to unlock the negotiations. CFU spokesman Robert Osbourn said, "CFU was approached to help out and was pleased to be able to do so."
He added, "The directors have been matching contributions from the fans, and we felt that giving Jimmy the best opportunity to push for the promotion that would mean so much to the club was something we wanted to see achieved, if we could. The fans have provided such a boost to the players this season and we are desperate for our club to be successful again.
"The partnership between the club, the fans and the community is what will take our club forwards and make it great again, and we all have a part to play in that. CFU welcomes new members to join in that endeavour and be part of it."
