Tickets for Sheffield Wednesday game

Members of Trust In Yellow have been given priority along with shareholders and season ticket holders for buying tickets for the FA Cup match.

Tickets will be on sale to these groups on Saturday morning (30th) from 10.0am to 12 noon. We will have an upto date membership list available but it would help to speed things up if members brought their current membership card.

The Trust would like to thank the club for giving members priority for tickets in this way.

A reminder that, as always,  it is possible to renew memberships or join the Trust online on this site or by contacting our membership secretary, Bill Sloan at

From the previous minutes Martin advised that a framed certificate had been produced for Bernard O’Malley.

Four members to attend – subject to availability, Alan S, Phil C, Bill, Martin.

The club has also asked if the trust would be willing to sponsor a game at a subsidised rate, but the board thought the money would be better spent going towards long term projects and would decline the offer.

Three dates have been suggested in 2011 – September 8th/15th/22nd and the club to check dates and book the venue. Event open to both league and non league players plus a limited number of supporters (given 130th anniversary, suggested 130 limit).

In the meantime, Trust to push standard moneyraising such as pledges, webshop, membership and goalden lottery.
