SPALDING UTD PROGRAMME NOTES 13th August 2024

 

Dear Supporter

This time last year we were discussing the handing over of the Club by Ritchie to whoever was available to run it at the time.  Thankfully, a whole raft of people stood up to be counted and did a fantastic job.  Lee Glover also left so a new manager was installed.  I think we are all agreed that last season was not the most inspiring one in recent years but we maintained our spot in Southern League Central and we go again this season.

A year later we have new owners so it has been all go again!  Welcome to George, Nadiya, Fabian and Naheed.  The takeover has certainly given the Club a lift and there is a feeling of optimism around the Latimer Park.  The Trust has touched based with the new owners and hope to move forward to discuss some fundraising projects we can lead on to benefit the fans.

The Trust has documented, on more than one occasion, its thanks to Ritchie and all the hard work he put in over the years since taking ownership of the Poppies back in the dark days of Irthlingborough.  Good luck for the future Ritchie and we know we will see you at Latimer Park as a fan.

It’s that time of the year when the Trust are once again trying to encourage all Poppies Supporters to renew their Trust membership or join up for the first time.

This season we are giving fans the opportunity to show their support by ALL WORKING TOWARDS THE SAME GOAL.  Along with the annual membership subscription of £10 for adults, £100 lifetime membership (juniors free) you can, for an additional £10, have your name on an advertising board inside Latimer Park.  The Trust will pay the going rate for the advertising board.  You can find full information and sign up on our new website at https://ktfctrust30.blogspot.com/p/membership.html.  Martin Bellamy will be in his usual spot in the Social Club pre-match to take your money as well!

The Trust has sponsored the home shirt of Dan Jezeph and the away shirt of Dan Jarvis for this coming season.  As always, we will do a members draw at the end of the season for two lucky winners to take ownership of said shirts.

Thanks, always, for your continued support.

Tonight we welcome one of the new boys in this League to Latimer Park, Spalding United.  Some ex-Poppies involved with the Tulips including their manager Elliott Sandy.  Let’s get off to a good start and build on that pre-season feel good aura around the Club.
