Donate at the Gate and watch footy against Dalbeattie for Free

Posted on Wednesday, December 11th, 2019

For the eighth year in succession, The Spartans FC will open their doors free of charge to football fans across the capital and beyond as they back the Spartans Community Football Academy’s Foodbank Appeal.

This Saturday’s Lowland League fixture against Dalbeattie Star will offer FREE entry to supporters who come to the game with provisions to help our Academy’s campaign. With usual admission prices being £7 adults / £4 concessions, a similar foodbank donation would be welcomed, but please simply offer what you can.

The Academy’s appeal closes on Wednesday 18th December. If you can’t make it to the game, items can be handed in to the main office at Ainslie Park or dropped off at our collection station which is near the lift on the 1st floor of the Academy building

Desirable Christmas items include:

Tinned Food (Meat/Fish/Vegetables)

Savoury crackers

Selection boxes

Boxes of chocolates

Snacks and nibbles

Basic toiletries

With your help, the Academy are hoping to surpass their efforts from last year and really make a difference to those who need it most.
