Three non league clubs ask for help or risk going under

Three non league clubs ask for help or risk going under as many continue to struggle financially with the season declared null and void.

South Park, Southend Manor and Redbridge are just some of many taking to social media, asking for donations to keep them running.

Redbridge FC from the Essex Senior League are one of those experiencing difficult times.

They have set up a JustGiving page, which has raised over £1,000, with a target set at £5,000. You can help add to that by clicking HERE.

Southend Manor, also from the same league, have set up a petition in a bid to help them get the go ahead for stadium work otherwise face being removed from the division as they would fail ground grading.

“We’ve sent an application to the council regarding installing a fence and new stand which we need to get passed or we’ll suffer relegation,” said a club spokesman.

“There’s a petition online against it which contain several inaccuracies so we’ve launched a counter petition now and it’s got more than 100 signatures.

“If we don’t get the all clear in June we could be set to either fold, have to groundshare elsewhere or even drop to the Olympian League which would be financial suicide for us.”

They have had 229 signatures s far, so if anyone can help them out, then please click HERE.

Calling the people of Southend, Southchurch and the non-league community, our future as a club is at risk.
Please sign our petition and retweet this post if you can.
All support is massively appreciated. Thank you all.#SaveSouthendManorhttps://t.co/hPjYWsVQ0W

Isthmian League South Central Division side South Park are raising £3,000 to help fund the clubs running costs, pitch renovations and the purchase of a new set of goalposts.

The club has been part of the local community for 123 years and run 22 teams from Under 8’s through to a Vets team. The immediate cancellation of the 2019/20 season has forced the closure of their clubhouse in the middle of March, meaning they’ve had no income coming in.

As a thank you everybody who makes a donation to South Park, of at least £10 will be entered into a draw to win a signed print commemorating either Sir Geoff Hurst’s 1966 World Cup Final hat trick or Martin Peters World Cup Final goal. All donations of at least £50 will be entered into a draw for a signed replica 1966 World Cup Final Shirt by either Sir Geoff Hurst or Gordon Banks.

29 supporters have helped raised £1,075 so far, you can add to it by clicking HERE.
