Sholing Football Club and Peter Cooper Motor Group are delighted to jointly announce the launch of Project 10,000, after the hugely successful campaign last season which saw 5,000 season tickets handed out to schools, colleges and local SO19 residents.

This has meant that all under 19’s with a complimentary Project 5000 membership card, gained access for free to every league home game. Sholing FC and Peter Cooper Motor Group are once again offering this superb community scheme but taking it to the next level to engage with wider community.

 

Paul Knott CEO of Sholing FC said:

“We want to make this the best community football club in the East of Southampton. Our aim is for residents East of the River Itchen to have a club they can support, feel part of and take pride in.

From Bitterne, Bursledon, Hamble, Hedge End, Merry Oak, Netley, Sholing, Thornhill, Weston and Woolston we can reach out to thousands of parents and children who will get the opportunity to watch a really good standard of football at an affordable price. All these areas are within a 10-minute drive or bus to the stadium and with new parking for over 350 cars we can’t wait to welcome new fans to join us.

The ground has undergone a huge modernisation in the last 12 months with over £1,250,000 being spent on a new state of the art 3G stadium pitch, luxury event marquee, full clubhouse refurbishment, new Pangea stand which houses 350 supporters and a host of other supporter friendly improvements.

Families have been priced out of going to professional football and we see this as a massive opportunity for the population of East Southampton to support their local club.

Once again all children under 19 will gain free entrance with a Project 10,000 ticket and adults are just £10 and only £8 if they join the supporters club which has a £10 yearly membership fee.

This means a family of four can watch Sholing FC at home from just £16 with Supporters Club membership, enjoy a day together watching football, being part of a local, family club.

In addition your membership card will guarantee you 10% off all club merchandise, hot food, drinks including our new Sholing Beer in the Marquee on match days as well as 10% discounts with some of our brilliant club sponsors which will be release over the coming weeks. Additionally, we are offering 10% discount off venue hire booking fees at The VENUE @ SO19 for those with a registered Membership Card (terms & conditions apply).

We will be releasing the Project 10,000 tickets week of June 16th before our fantastic pre-season schedule and they will be available from the office at the Mortgage Decisions Stadium from Monday to Friday 9-5 or from Peter Cooper Motor Group VW in Hedge End. These must be registered before our first league home game in order to access your discounts for the league games, and to access to the ground. There will be staff at the ground who can help with this process when the cards are collected.

As a club we have to place on record our huge thanks to Darren Cooper and Peter Cooper Motor Group in supporting the club to make this happen and taking the project to the next level”.

 

Darren Cooper was equally pleased,

“ As a local business to all these areas we are delighted to offer our unconditional support to helping double the size of the season ticket offer. We were amazed that all 5,000 were handed out last year and had no hesitation when the club asked if we could help double the number for this year.

The season ticket will also guarantee you 10% off hot food and drinks once inside the Stadium and at Peter Cooper Motor Group, we are offering 10% discount on any servicing  of cars as well.

The season tickets can be collected from our VW Hedge End Office during normal working hours or from the Head Office at Sholing FC Mortgage Decision Stadium. “
