Hopefully you will have seen the photos on Twitter/FB of the superb display of shirts for the televised Airdrie game. Many thanks to Dougy Allsop and his team of helpers who carefully laid out 6,300 shirts on seats around the ground and then had to pack them all up again immediately after the game. It […]
We had a really great meeting with EITC and our friends from the Everton Heritage Society in October. This will be our first official partnership with a Premier League club and the meeting went really well. There will be a kit collection at the Everton v Swansea game later this month followed by a further […]
