TRUST SPONSOR FANS TEAM
What a motley crew, above, eh? Well, not really – this fine body of men (?) are the newly formed Sons Supporters Football Club and all members of the Sonstrust.
The Trust Board have agreed to sponsor the team in their first season which is just about to start. The agreement was recently signed by Andy Scott, Trust Board Member and Alan Smith, manager and coach of the team and will see ‘sonstrust.net’ appear on the front of the new club shirts for the 2010/11 season.
Surridge, current kit supplier to Dumbarton FC, provided the strips in another example of the professional football club and the fans working together.
Andy Scott said: “We are absolutely delighted to sponsor the fans team and it’s another community initiative for the trust to be proud of.”
“As all players in the team are trust members, it made sense to approach the board of our members organisation to ask for help ,” said Alan Smith, Manager of the team. “The supporters trust exist to help its members and we are delighted, and proud to be wearing the colours of DFC in our inaugural season.”
The club will play in the Scottish Supporters Football League, with games taking place on Sundays.
