Longford Town Supporters Club establish GoFundMe fundraising drive to aid club ahead of football's return

The Longford Town Supporters Club have set up a fundraising drive to aid the club ahead of their long-awaited return to action.

The Red and Black’s Supporters Club have seen many of their income streams cut off as a result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic – and they have asked for support ahead of the coming weeks and months.

The Supporters Club have said that they will give the donations straight to the club to help with the running costs of the club.

“The LTFC Supporters' Club are at the forefront in raising funds for the club as well as helping out deserving causes in the community such as presenting boxes of Easter Eggs to the Longford Ambulance Service and presenting food to staff of St. Joseph's Care Centre in Longford,” the statement read. 

“However, due to COVID-19, and the loss of vital matchday revenue and the loss of revenue from the Supporters' Club organised car boot sales, we are calling on our supporters at home and abroad to help us in any way possible.

“Donations will be given directly to Longford Town FC to help with the costs of running our club, senior teams and underage teams.”

As of Monday morning, the Supporters Club have raised over €2,500 of their €20,000 target goal.
