Preparing for life in the National League South

Margate Supporters Club are currently in process of preparing for the 2015/16 season in the Vanarama National League South.

With promotion comes lots of work both on and off the field and it is the same for the Supporters Club. We were delighted to see the club release Season Ticket details on Wednesday and we would urge all of our members to take up the clubs very generous offer of an Adults season ticket for just £180.

Ourselves, we are currently in the process of finalising membership details for the 2015/16 season to ensure we offer our members the best deal we possibly can and to ensure that being a member of Margate Supporters Club is an opportunity that you won’t want to miss out.

We are also looking into introducing a mini-gators fan club so please keep an eye on our website for further details when they are finalised.

Working alongside Margate Football Club, Margate Supporters Club is looking forward to enjoying another successful season for everyone associated to MFC.

Up the ‘Gate

Spread the Love this weekend by watching Margate Away

As it is Valentine’s Day on Saturday everyone wants to be with the one they love. For Gate supporters that undoubtedly means Margate F.C.!!! And you still have the opportunity as there are a few places remaining on the MSC coach travelling to Surrey for the match against the Met Police. 

The cost is a respectable £10 per seat which leaves enough to buy the team champagne and roses at the end of the game! To find out more check the MSC Facebook page. Let’s hope it’s a great day out.

Follow the Blues away this weekend

Why not blow away the winter blues by following the Gate on their travels into Essex this coming weekend. Seats are available on the coach to Witham this Saturday departing Hartsdown at midday.

To book check out the MSC Facebook page or telephone 07831 407927. The fight for promotion is hotting up so why not play a part not just from the Hartsdown terraces but at away venues as well.

The price remains at £10 for a seat which is extraordinary good value for money. There may also be places on the minibus going to Billericay two days later. Please use the above contact details to confirm. Let’s help the team by providing loud vocal support home and away.

Travel to Leiston for just £10

Now that there will be a gap of more than seven days between matches many of you will be champing at the bit to see some action. Next up for the league leaders is Leiston situated in rural Suffolk a tough fixture but one that promises an exciting afternoon’s entertainment.

It is a long way to drive so why not relax by purchasing a seat on the coach organised by the Margate Supporters Club. The cost is still just £10 per head terrific value for sure. For details check out the MSC Facebook page or if that proves difficult give Keith Lewis a ring on 01843 226963.

Let’s continue to give the support at the away matches which has been so impressive to date.

Margate Supporters Club in search of more members

Many of you will be aware that the membership of the MSC committee has undergone change since the start of the season. Currently we are short in numbers and at times, when personal circumstances intervene, thin on the ground. 

Nevertheless we are endeavouring to do all that is expected of us and will continue to do so. However, isn't there always a however?!, new blood would be very welcome particularly from younger members. (I deliberately avoid a definition of ‘younger’!). 

Should anyone have even the tiniest flicker of interest please contact the secretary, Keith Lewis, by email (keith.lewis2008@talktalk.net) or telephone (01843 226963) for an informal chat. 

There is absolutely no obligation attached. It is well-known that the membership has doubled from last year and we wish to ensure that the supporters’ association flourishes and moves forward in tandem with the club. Please give it your consideration.

Follow the Blues at Hampton for just £10

There is a coach running to Hampton and Richmond this Saturday November 22^nd. The cost is £10 per seat tremendous value considering the return mileage. The leaving time from Hartsdown will be 11.15. 

To book a place please contact Ted Pittman on 07831 407927 or use the MSC facebook page. For those of you with concerns following the trip two weeks ago to VCD action has been taken. Ted will give you the full details or ring Keith Lewis on 01843 226963.

Let’s make this another good day out supporting the team and helping them to keep daylight between Margate and Maidstone. Who knows it may be another 3 – 1!
