Basingstoke Town Community FC: A Rallying Call to Our Fans
At Basingstoke Town Community FC, we’ve always prided ourselves on being a 100% fan-owned, not-for-profit club. Every ticket sold, every pint poured, and every scarf worn goes directly into running the club we all love. We do things the right way: living within our means, reinvesting every penny, and building our future responsibly.
But running a football club on tight margins has its challenges. This season, we’ve faced increased costs from facility hire to equipment, Academy investment not covered by anticipated fees, less commercial uptake and delays with the Clubhouse and associated Clubhouse funding which have hampered our continued growth. These items contribute to additional strain on our finances. As a board, we’ve set ourselves ambitious goals to generate the revenue needed to keep the club strong and sustainable. But we can’t do it alone—we need your help.
This is our rallying call to the Basingstoke family. Together, we can navigate this challenge and emerge stronger. Here’s how YOU can get involved:
Crowdfunding: A Little Goes a Long Way
We’ve launched a crowdfunding campaign to give fans a simple way to contribute directly. Every donation, big or small, helps keep the club running. As a thank-you, the 11 highest donors (along with 5 randomly selected contributors, no matter the amount) will receive a special memento: a player worn 2023/25 home shirt at the end of the season.
