The ‘1875 Club’ is aimed at former players and social members of the club who want to offer additional support over and above the regular membership rate.
The primary purpose of this club is to help generate additional revenue so that we are able to keep the cost down to the younger playing members and make football more affordable for them, which is part of our charitable purpose and also to keep the club in sound financial health.
As you are probably aware, fewer people are playing 11 a-side football these days and many historic amateur clubs have folded or declined significantly in recent years.
We want to avoid that and to sustain Polytechnic FC for present and future generations to enjoy as we have all enjoyed it. We hope we can count upon your support in sustaining the club.
The Benefits
You will receive a club branded gift upon joining.
Being part of the 1875 club will give priority to members to apply for tickets to FA affiliated matches, such as FA cups and England games, including World Cups and European Championship matches.
We will also hold 1875 Club days where we invite 1875 club members, friends and family to the club to watch games and catch up with people they may not have seen in a while. Our intention is to host an annual social event for members – please note this will be at additional cost to the 1875 Club membership fee.
The Costs
The 1875 club membership is £100 a year. We are using gocardless to collect payments by direct debit. You can sign up for £100 per year or £25 per quarter.
