The Telford United Football Club is delighted to participate in the National Lottery Football Weekends!
On the 2nd of April, 2022, every National Lottery ticket holder can bring a companion to see Telford United compete against Gloucester City in the National League North without charge! This program arrives at a critical juncture, as the COVID-19 outbreak has severely impacted the finances of local football organizations.
The club issued a message recognizing the challenges encountered: “As supporters, you are all too aware of the effects the pandemic has had on teams like ours. With interrupted timetables and no entrance fees for a significant duration, numerous clubs were left concerned about their viability.”
Fortunately, National Lottery participants have intervened to protect the future of local football. A substantial £12.5 million (equivalent to $16.8 million!) has been allocated to clubs throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Telford United is merely one of 231 clubs across the UK engaging in the National Lottery Football Weekends. Every club will provide a purchase-one-receive-one-free ticket offer for a home match in March or April.
“The National Lottery and its players have a crucial function in sustaining our national sport, especially at the non-league and amateur levels,” stated Luke Shelley, the Head of Football Operations.
The Telford United Football Club holds immense satisfaction in serving as a central pillar within our locality. This essential financial support guarantees our ability to remain operational and persist in providing for our dedicated fans and the Telford populace in a significant manner.”
