Help us spread the spirit of Christmas, “donate at the gate” this Saturday

Posted on Thursday, December 20th, 2012

With both Hearts and Hibs not in action until Sunday, we are hoping for a bumper crowd for our crucial Christmas clash against Stirling University and entry is FREE for all supporters who ‘Donate at the Gate’ for the Club’s Ashbrook Appeal.

Santa Spartan will be on hand to collect all donations as the Community Club aim to put together packs of essentials for the Ashbrook Homeless Hostel on Ferry Road. Everyday items such as toothpaste, deodorant, shower gel, basic clothing items and non-perishable foods are welcome.

Thanks to generous visitors to the Academy over the last two weeks, the Club have already prepared a batch of donated items to hand over and kind hearted fans are asked to pop in a present this Saturday to give the appeal a final boost.

Chairman Craig Graham said, “we have a strong community ethos and we are delighted to continue our support for Ashbrook. With our ‘Donate at the Gate’ scheme on Saturday, hopefully we can help raise a cheer on and off this pitch this Christmas”

The game kicks off at 2.30pm this Saturday and entry without donation is £5/£3. We will also have another great match programme available at the gate for £1.50
