Trust in Yellow’s new Southport FC calendar for 2017 is now available to buy online or reserve.

The calendar is a limited edition with only 100 copies available, each for the special offer price of £6, and is a great buy for all Southport fans for the year ahead.

The theme for this year’s calendar is Southport’s memorable matches, providing a great look back at some of the club’s best moments.

From FA Cup upsets to championship-winning games and an appearance at the old Wembley Stadium, the calendar features a host of stand-out games.

There have been some notable wins, such as cup games with Cardiff City and Notts County, while all four of the club’s title-winning games are included - against Hartlepool United, Emley, Harrogate Town and Eastwood Town.

In football, there are times when the occasion is still remembered despite the result and even in defeat, matches against Cheltenham Town in the 1998 FA Trophy final and, more recently, the visit to Derby County, have provided special moments for fans.

The calendar is now available to reserve and collect in the club shop.

To reserve your copy, e-mail Rob Urwin at programme@southportfc.net. It can then be collected during extra opening hours which will be confirmed shortly, or at the home match against Eastleigh on December 16.

Alternatively, you can buy the calendar online and have it posted to you. The total price including postage and packaging is £8. It can be bought by PayPal to programme@southportfc.net or by cheque to Trust in Yellow, 19 Hillsview Road, Ainsdale, Southport. PR8 3PW.

Last year, the calendar proved very popular and with only 100 copies available, it is a limited edition product so please don’t delay buying it.

We are offering reduced fares for coach travel to the Buildbase FA Trophy first round tie at Farsley Celtic on Saturday December 10.

Throughout November, Trust in Yellow has been holding a food collection to help the Southport Soup Kitchen on London Street.

This weekend, with Southport playing their final Saturday home match of the month against Braintree Town, fans are being asked to donate food to help the Soup Kitchen as they approach Christmas and their busiest time of year.

The Soup Kitchen is a very worthy cause which provides food and warmth to the local homeless population as well as distributing meals and hampers to vulnerable people within the Southport community. Donations can be made by calling in at the Trust in Yellow office ahead of the match.  

How can I help?….

The Soup Kitchen is again looking for two types of donation.

1) Weekly at the Soup Kitchen they need tea, coffee, biscuits, cakes, sugar, and condiments such as ketchup or brown sauce.

2) For the families they support they need basics to create meals, such as pasta, sauces, tins of vegetables, soup, tins of meat or pies, butter/spread, cake or biscuits.

Any items however, large or small will be very welcome. So get looking in those cupboards.

Donations will be accepted in the Trust office at all matches between now and the end of November.

Trust in Yellow’s next Get Involved! event is a night of fun and sporting trivia with They Think It’s All A Question Of Sport this Saturday.

A team captained by Liam Watson will go head-to-head with a team of supporters in a quiz which combines elements of television programmes They Think It’s All Over and A Question Of Sport.

The event has been put together by Rob Urwin and takes place in the Grandstand Bar from 5.30pm after the match against Braintree Town.

It promises to be really good fun and all fans are welcome so please come along.

Fleetwood. The Trust's coach to the Emirates FA Cup first round replay is full.

Following some cancellations we now have just 5 people on our waiting list so if anyone who has booked finds they can't go please let us know so that we can try to take some of these.

At such short notice and with the relatively small numbers of extra enquiries we had it was not possible to organise a second coach and our apologies to those people we could not accommodate. We are sure all supporters realise that all members of the Trust Board are volunteers and give up a great deal of time to organise coaches and other events.

Following the childish actions of a few last week we are certain the rules on no flares or smoke bombs at matches and indeed no alcohol on coaches will be strictly enforced.

Chester. This coach will definitely run leaving the ground at 5-15pm. The cost is just £10 for members and £13 for non-members We recommend you reserve places as soon as possible.
