Essential ground and facilities works
Donation protected
It's a desperately difficult time for everyone at the moment, with money tight for most, and fundraising appeals a plenty as we continue to try and do our bit for the underfunded and neglected institutions such as the NHS.
As a club, our own requirements to install and amend essential works to the Sandy Lane ground and facilities including new toilets, security measures, completing the tea bar, developing of the juniors playing surface, and urgent works to the roof and vandalised stand have come to a grinding halt.
It's obviously not possible for us to do what we do best by all getting together for a good nights entertainment, or generating any matchday income, and we have no hope of a Family Fun Day which would go a long way to completing these tasks.
With the 1st Team Tier 3 ground criteria still vital in order for the club to continue operating at this level, the guidance from the FAW is at the moment, there are no allowances for Covid-19 other than the deadline will extend by the length of the lockdown, meaning the reality is we will have a lot to do in an extremely short time period before inspection.
The club has secured some grant aid, but it is not secure on the basis of we have been unable to complete on time, and it's on a refund/valuation basis once the work is complete. We are appealing to our supporters,volunteers and followers if you can dig deep to raise the necessary funds to get this work done as soon as possible so we aren't left waiting for our valuation and putting the club's future in serious doubt. There is no funding the club can apply for from government, we are a not for profit, and funds aren't to cover any wages or running costs. Over 100 seniors and juniors are part of the Town Family - please give what you can.
