[OS] Weymouth Donation Update

[TorquayFans.com]

Torquay United would like to provide our supporters with an update regarding funds raised by Weymouth FC during our recent away game in Dorset. Following the kind decision of Weymouth FC to donate £5 from every away ticket sold at the Bob Lucas Stadium to the Torquay United Supporters Trust (TUST) in order to help fund TUFC employee wages, Torquay United can now confirm TUST have confirmed they have received a total of £2,705.29 from The Terras, which comprises of £2,370 from gate receipts, £253.93 from a bucket collection, and £81.36 from badge sales. This is not only a significant donation, but also an extremely generous one from a club that not too long ago faced a similar battle for survival themselves. To all our friends at Weymouth FC, everyone at Plainmoor would like to extend its heartfelt thanks and appreciation for this kind gesture. In addition to the £2,705.29 donated by Weymouth FC, the TUST have contributed £294.71 in order to round up the donation which has been paid by TUST to the club of £3,000. The Club would also like to thank TUST for adding to Weymouth’s total, and we can confirm that all the funds raised will be used solely to help the club fund its player and staff wages for the month of March. The continued support of our supporters, sponsors, local community and the wider football family continues to surprise, and also strengthen our resolve, as we look to not only keep our beloved Football Club alive, but also set the foundations for a brighter and more sustainable future for TUFC. We will be looking to provide our supporters with another update later this week, but for now, we would like to place on record our sincere gratitude to Weymouth FC for contributing towards our continued battle for survival. Thank you.The post Weymouth Donation Update first appeared on Torquay United.
