Looking for a friendly for @WTFCRes1878 on Monday 4th August at Wimborne Town on the 3G. Will be a 7pm KO, opposition would just need to pay half of the ref fees. Any help/retweets would be appreciated! @WimborneTownFC @WessexLeague @NonLeaguePaper

Today Wimborne Town Football Club are pleased to announce the launch of our ‘Let’s PITCH In’ campaign. The aim of the campaign is to raise funds for the replacement of our current main pitch with a 3G pitch for the 26/27 season.  The club is looking to secure its financial sustainability in the coming years and upgrading the main pitch to 3G is the first step on the road to achieving this goal.  A second 3G pitch will not only generate a new and significant revenue stream, it will also allow us to provide high quality training and match facilities from the grassroots youth section through to our first team.  This campaign has the potential to be the clubs most significant step forward since our move to the Wyatt Homes Stadium.  The support we receive from the local community, business owners and our supporters will be critical, so please get the message out and ‘Let’s PITCH In’ to the clubs future success today. *Pledges received will be held in a bank account created solely for this campaign to ensure full transparency of the use of funds.  Contact: info@wimbornetownfc.co.uk Tel: 01202 884821 #UpTheMagpies
