MEMBERSHIPS

NOTES FROM THE CHAIR
Here we go again, another season is upon us, let’s hope for a better season both on and off the field.
This season marks our 15th year of running a supporters club and never has there been a more critical time regarding the allocation of match tickets etc, the Committee are extremely busy this time of the season and in fact this season is even more demanding because of the introduction of the All Red Membership.
It is vital that each member understands the implications of not signing up to be a Member of the Scheme.
Yes it’s fifteen years since the idea came from Andy Wheatley to form a Supporters Club and in relation to other Affiliated Supporters Clubs to Liverpool Football Club, we are one of the oldest.
The Committee hope to mark this occasion by having a suitable Guest Speaker at our annual function in January, plans are already being made to make this a special evening.
I look forward to seeing some “old faces” and also some new one’s during the forthcoming season!. YNWA – Kevin.
We do hope that these newsletters are of interest to you and keep you up to date with matters within the club. If you have any comments or ideas, please let a member of the Committee know, or e-mail us on info@lfcgrimsby.co.uk . Also we have around 250 people signed up to receive e-mail circulars, If you would like to receive information in advance such as ticket availability for example then send your e-mail address to our e-mail as given on the line above.
