A wonderful sum of £805 was raised by fans in support of long term injured Brakes player Simeon Maye at the Leamington versus Kettering Town match. The club and Simeon thank you greatly for your generosity. The ‘match hospitality’ and ‘Kettering Town signed shirt’ raffle prizes have been claimed. Two winning tickets remain unclaimed, for the ‘Leamington FC signed shirt’ (Orange 316-320) and ‘Signed Match Ball’ (Blue 121-125). Please email info@leamingtonfc.co.uk to authenticate your claim if you hold the winning tickets.

The online raffle in support of Simeon will close at midday on Christmas Eve, with prizes ranging from a signed Coventry City shirt to a signed Leamington shirt to two hospitality tickets. The winners of the raffle will be announced later the same day. Once again we thank you all for your generous support.

We were indebted to the many fans who back in Autumn 2020 gave wonderful financial support to the club at a difficult time. Our original plan was to honour all the rewards from the scheme in this current season. Unfortunately with the ongoing nature of Covid 19 and the protocols we have to follow to meet National League guidelines with regards to players and match day officials safety, this has not been possible although we have already honoured the ‘home or away shirt’ reward that fans chose.

We propose as an interim measure, to add an additional ‘fan experience’ of being ‘Match Sponsor’ or ‘Match Ball Sponsor’ for a total of three games. This will be in the form of your name as sponsor within the match day programme of which you will receive a signed copy by the players, plus social media coverage in the lead up to the game and within the match reports. We will hold a draw at the New Years fixture versus Gloucester City where six lucky winners can choose their sponsorship from matches that are still available to sponsor in the respective category. This will not affect any of the rewards that you were promised previously within the scheme.

As soon as we are able to do so we will honour all original rewards within the scheme. We thank you for your patience in this matter and look forward to seeing you all over the festive period.

Following on from our announcement yesterday, the club are happy to confirm details for the online raffle to support Simeon Maye, who sustained a long-term leg injury in our fixture against Kettering Town earlier in the season, over the Christmas period.

This will run as a separate raffle to the one happening in the ground when we face Kettering tomorrow and will run with different prizes. The prizes for the online draw are as follows:

1^st place: 2 x Hospitality Tickets to a Leamington match of your choice

2^nd place: Signed 2021/22 Coventry City Home Shirt

3^rd place: Signed 2021/22 Leamington Home Shirt

Click here to enter the draw.

Prizes in the draw at the ground include signed Leamington and Kettering shirts as well as signed match balls and tickets can be bought as you enter the ground.

On another note, we would like to remind you that we are hosting a collection in the turnstiles on Saturday’s fixture for the LWS Night Shelter to help them over Christmas. The following items can be dropped off in the turnstiles tomorrow:

UHT Milk
Pot Noodles
Crisps
Biscuits
Chocolate
Tinned meat
Cereal
Microwave rice
Coffee jars
Sugar bags

We will travel to Kidderminster for a rearranged National League North fixture on Tuesday February 1st, 7:45 kick off after our initial game on 8 January was postponed due to their progress into the FA Cup Third Round.

Jack Edwards missed last Saturdays game after he advised the club that he had been suffering from recent intermittent symptoms of blurred vision, dizziness and headaches. Understandably Jack and the club want this checked out and a process of sorting out precautionary checks-ups has commenced. We wish Jack a speedy diagnosis and recovery.
