Aberystwyth Town Football Club is proud to be a members-run club -- meaning that our loyal and numerous sponsors are our primary source of income to finance the daily running of the club.
However, with an ever-increasing number of private investors funding rival clubs within the JD Cymru Premier, it is imperative that the Club's Directors continue to raise funds to boost the playing budget to attract the best talent and retain our place in an increasingly competitive JD Cymru Premier.
Therefore, the club is establishing the Aberystwyth Town FC: Boost The Budget scheme -- allowing the Black and Greens' faithful supporters to contribute directly to the playing budget!
This year has been difficult financially for the club with the loss of the Academy B Licence -- resulting in a shortfall of £90,000 -- and the FAW's decision requiring the club to upgrade its floodlighting system in full to LED by the 30th of June.
Boost The Budget is ringfenced to directly support our First Team Manager, Anthony Williams, to compete with rival offerings and ensure Aberystwyth Town Football Club can continue to attract the best talent to Aberystwyth University Park Avenue Stadium now and in the future. Our target is £25,000 this season – where every penny will make a massive difference for the club.
Contributors will also unlock a number of exciting and exclusive rewards and experiences as thanks for their support -- more details below!
A list of current contributors can be found HERE Club Vice-Chairman David Evans commented:
"Having set-up the Online Club Shop some years ago and having packed and posted each order since, it still amazes me the support for the Club not only in Wales, but across the UK, Europe, and Worldwide. Boost The Budget gives our loyal supporters the chance to directly support our manager and ensure the Club remains competitive in the JD Cymru Premier."
