24th December, 2014
Garforth Town have announced that their partnership with Richmond International Academic and Soccer Academy (RIASA) has ended with immediate effect.
The Toolstation NCEL Premier Division side say that RIASA have withdrawn their financial support, ending an eighteen month association with the club.
Garforth have quickly assured supporters that it will not have a negative impact, saying: "We would like to put on record our thank you to them [RIASA] for their support and particularly during the difficult times last season.
"We have been self sufficient now for two months and we have seen a flurry of new sponsors joining us who are keen to be part of the club's future.
"We are currently in favourable discussions with the owner Rupert Lowe regarding plans to take the club forward.
"Rupert has always been very supportive to us as a management team and is keen to see the club stay as a part of the community of Garforth.
"A further statement will be made shortly."
