A Midland Football League outfit has started a fundraising initiative to help it through the coronavirus pandemic period after their season was cancelled by the FA due to the outbreak.
Club secretary Adam Drew has set up a Just Giving page for supporters and the football community to donate to in an attempt to keep the club afloat amidst the lack of matchday income and club events.
A target of £1,200 has been set with over £300 raised already.
Adam said: “We’re raising £1,200 to help raise vital funds for the club with all football & club events suspended due to the pandemic, starving us of valuable revenue.
“As many of you will know, this has been a challenging season in terms of the running of the club with months of bad weather stretching from the end of October wreaking havoc on the club’s cashflow and causing plenty of financial turbulence.
“And now with the Covid-19 pandemic setting in, not only has the season ended early, but we have been forced to cancel all our upcoming events which would have helped generate funds for the club.
“So we are appealing for donations to help us out at a time where we are unable to carry out fundraising events at our clubhouse, causing financial strain on the club. Any donations small or big would be highly appreciated in what is a difficult time for the club.”
Adam told Sport in Staffs that £1,200 would “cover plenty of ground” and that it was a “realistic, yet useful” goal.
