FC Lakeside are delighted to announce the launch of our brand new website www.fclakeside.co.uk. Our website is a key communication hub for the club and has worked very well over the last 4 years. Our management committee thought a new look and feel was needed and through the support of local business Opiyo Digital the new site was designed and configured to a very professional standard and is something we are extremely proud of.

Cheltenham based Opiyo Digital provide digital marketing and web design services, working with international brands such as Virgin through to start ups and small businesses seeking growth. Club officer Tim Stokes states: “We are privileged to have partnered with Opiyo Digital and would like to thank them for their hard work with this project. They have allowed us to create something that will certainly put us on the map and will be a valuable resource for our members, future members and anyone wanting to keep up to date with the FC Lakeside. The new website also allows us to promote the work our sponsors do in supporting the club financially and with their expertise and that was very important to us from the outset.” Club

Chairman, Rob Griffiths, added: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank our club media officer and U9’s coach, Tim Stokes, together with our U6’s coach and web design expert Liam Jones from Opiyo Digital. Your club is in debt to you for providing us with an up to date club website that any club or company would be proud of. Thanks must also go to Harlen Dean our website predecessor for all his efforts. FC Lakeside can look forward to the fast media world now, which is key to growth and success of any football club, both on and off the pitch”

Opiyo Company Director Liam Jones stated: “As a company, we feel very passionately about sports and the positivity it can bring to individuals and communities so it feels a real privilege to be able to provide such an influential local club such as FC Lakeside with a brand new website. We’ll be working alongside media officer, Tim Stokes, and the club to keep evolving the website and making it a fun and informative hub for everyone connected to FC Lakeside. Personally, over the years, I’ve been involved in a number of football website launches from Chelsea FC to Cheltenham Town so it’s great to add FC Lakeside to that list!”

With links to our Social Media Channels, the website is at the core of our communication to an ever growing audience. FC Lakeside are forward thinking in their approach to digital communication with the ultimate goals of allowing members old and new to keep in contact. With other digital ideas in the pipeline we will be working on other projects in the coming months to continue the digital revolution!!
