Andy Pountney, the vice-chairman of Stourbridge FC, commented that the club were thrilled to be continuing their long standing relationship with Bhandal Dental Practices. He remarked: "It is very important when building the infrastructure of a football club that you try and get as much backing in as you can. With the support of the Bhandals deal it does take some of the pressure off, but also allows us to have a strong foundation to build the club on. It also confirms that we will not be resting on our laurels. After the season we have just experienced and the support and profile we have generated from both the FA Cup run and our strong showing in the league we will be aiming to build on that for next season. I would also like to add a big thank you from everyone at Stourbridge Football Club to all the supporters, sponsors and everybody who has been connected with the club over the last season. It has been a memorable one and we look forward to seeing you all in the new season."
