Supporters Club Stall at Shildon Market

The Supporters Club will be hosting a stall at Shildon’s Christmas Market on Friday 4th December. We will be selling smaller items such as hats, scarves, badges and other goodies as well as handing out promotional material to passers by.

We are still in need of volunteers to assist with the stall, for however long or short a time you can spare. The Market will be open from 10am until 5pm. Please either message us or post here if you are able to spare any time at all to help.

Meanwhile, the Supporters Club has been talking to Shildon Chamber of Trade (Shildon Businesses) to find ways to help promote each other’s activities and one way we will be doing this is by offering a double membership on the day of the Market – for a £5 fee, new members can receive the additional benefit of membership of the Chamber of Trade and access to the discounts available in local shops.

In addition, the Chamber of Trade will be running a raffle on Market Day, and as part of that raffle, the football club has kindly allowed us to donate a Season Ticket for the draw. Console Connections have donated a PS4, so this is a really great draw to take part in. See the poster below for details of where to buy tickets.

No longer do fans have to take lots of cash to the football match after the Supporters Club invested in Paypal Here – a card reader for chip and pin and credit cards that also allows customers to pay by Paypal in the club shop.

So when you see that first team shirt, that waterproof jacket, the latest hat, badge and scarf and the DVD of the County Cup win, you can now walk out with all of them! All you need is the small plastic card in your wallet!

Card payments in the club shop will be available from Shildon’s next home game on Saturday 17th October.

Discounted supporters bus travel

A recent meeting of the Supporters Club committee discussed the issue of discount benefits for supporters and agreed that three Northern League away matches would be eligible for discount travel.

The three matches – the furthest travelled games for Shildon in the league – are: Ashington (scheduled to take place on Saturday 10th October), Penrith (21st November) and Morpeth (Boxing Day).

The committee agreed that if Shildon progress in the FA Vase, other matches will be added to the discount scheme in due course.

In addition, the committee continues to explore other possibilities for members of the Supporters Club to receive additional benefits of membership.
