South Shields Football Club are launching a new initiative in the hope of getting more of the local community involved in supporting the club.
The Mariners play at the 1st Cloud Arena and we are proud members of the Vanarama National League North, under Elliott Dickman’s leadership.
Formerly the home of The Filtrona Sports and Social Club, South Shields FC are currently in the National League System – this is the highest league (tier six) we have been in over 50 years, since the club relaunched in 1974.
We have a mixture of proven and up-and-coming players in the first team, with some academy graduates having been at the club since they were boys.
As a club we want to increase our footfall through the gates, which isn’t easy when we are next to two football giants in the region: Newcastle United and Sunderland AFC.
We wanted to thank our existing season ticket holders by offering them the opportunity to bring two free guests to our game against Leamington on Saturday, October 19th.
The club would love to see lots of new faces here, both old and young, and everybody would be made to feel welcome.
To be eligible for the scheme, supporters must arrive at the 1st Cloud Arena before 1:30pm and they must also be accompanied by an adult season ticket holder.
These free tickets will be for standing areas only, but seat upgrades on the day are available at an additional £2 cost, on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Our chosen charity organisation, Hospitality and Hope, will also be collecting donations to help tackle homelessness and support the local food banks we have.
Let’s pack the 1st Cloud Arena next Saturday and show the lads your support!
