While football understandably takes a back seat during the present crisis, the Ards F.C Board with an eye to future planning, is pleased to announce that our first team manager John Bailie has agreed to stay with the club for the next two seasons. John took over the reins in December and has improved results and performances with seven wins and only two defeats in the twelve league games since his appointment. In fact no Championship team bettered the total of 16 points Ards gained from the last six games before football was suspended. I'm sure all Ards fans will want to wish John a long and successful stay at the club.
