PROGRAMME NOTES STAMFORD 31st AUGUST 2026

 

THE TRUST NEEDS YOU!

 

Welcome to the 3rd home game of the season, with the Poppies still unbeaten at time of writing! Hopefully the result at Hitchin on Saturday went our way, and we can push for another 3 points today.

 

As the title of our piece today says - THE TRUST NEEDS YOU.

 

The more members the Trust has, the stronger our voice can be. Traditionally we have had more members in times of crisis, but we would love to be a force to be reckoned with at all times. The voice of Supporters in football is vital if we are to make sure that those who run our clubs always act in the best interests of Supporters, as well as their own interests in running a successful business.

 

What do you get if you join the Trust? Well, you get a say in what the Trust does, and to play a part in the collective voice of Supporters. All Trust members get entered into a draw at the end of the season to win one of the 2 shirts we are sponsoring this year, which will be signed by the players. This season we are sponsoring Paul White’s home shirt, and Shaun Jeffers’ away shirt. Trust members also benefit from discounts at several local businesses, a list of which can be found on our website.

 

The TRUST BOARD ALSO NEEDS YOU! The Trust board is made up of elected and co-opted Trust members, who deal with the running of the Trust. This involves regular meetings, both in person and online, to deal with any issues that need to be addressed; Meeting with the club owners to raise issues and see how we can help the club; arranging fundraising and events such as the Christmas party, and memorabilia events; curating the ever growing memorabilia collection; managing Trust memberships and much more.

The board is currently quite small, and we would love to add more board members who have a little time and energy spare to help push the Trust forward. Again - the more Trust board members we have, the more we can spread the work involved and the more effective we can be overall. If you are a Trust member, and would like to become involved with the Trust board, then please email us at ktfc_trust@hotmail.com, as we would welcome all offers of help. If you would like to become a member of the board, but you are not a Trust member, then simply join the Trust via the QR code link, or pop into the clubhouse on a match day and visit the programmes / Klondike table to pick up a membership form - and then email us as above.

 

Thanks as always for your continued support
