FC Halifax Town: Shaymen launch The Big Support for fans wishing to donate money to the club

Yesterday (Friday), The Shaymen announced they would be taking out a low cost loan to cover costs for the rest of the season.

And since then, they say supporters of the club have been in touch asking how they can donate money to help.

In a statement, the club said: “Since our announcement regarding the decision to progress with a Sport England loan yesterday, we’ve been inundated with offers of financial donations. It was never our intention to ask the fans to assist financially given the overwhelming support shown with ‘Project Playoffs’ last year. We didn’t want to burden you again given the tough economic conditions we’re all facing and the personal pressures you might be experiencing.

“However, every pound we can raise will of course support the football club in so many ways not at least reducing the amount we need to borrow to give us a level of stability for this season and next.

“Once again the offers of support have been formidable, so for those supporters who do wish to help again you can do so in the following ways.

“You can make a donation via the Club Shop.

“You can make your donation via the Supporters’ Club - [email protected]

“Any further fundraising ideas please send to either [email protected], [email protected] or via our social media channels

“We will keep you updated regularly with how much you’ve raised.

“Thank you once again for the unequivocal support for your football club.”
