LATEST NEWS
The Ladies Need U
25th September 2006

The Ladies club are sending out an appeal to all U’s fans…                                                                                

Whilst the ladies have been busy doing the business on the pitch, with four wins out of five, Manager, Steve Downey, could not really be asking for much more.  However, the ladies do need the help of the generous U’s fans and are sending out an appeal to all fans with deep pockets… 

Every single player at the club, and there are 35 at the moment, is in need of sponsorship for the season.  Unlike the money filled men’s game, the ladies side of football has never been wealthy and as such clubs such as the U’s ladies need to be thrifty just to stay afloat. 

A story of which all U’s fans I am sure are familiar with.  That said, despite the success on the pitch the girls have still had trouble attracting sponsorship this season and that is where you, the U’s fans, can help. 

At the risk of sounding like a ‘Sponsor a Cat’ advert from the TV, did you know it takes just £100 to safely take care of a U’s lady for the whole season.  Your £100 will pay the league registration fees for that player, contribute towards training costs for the year and also for the cost of physiotherapy.  Making sure that we can continue to provide the best footballing opportunities for talented female players in Essex. 

Here are some more did you knows? 

The Lady U’s are the highest placed women’s club in the County

The Female Academy is the only one of it’s kind in the County
The Girls Centre of Excellence has produced SIX international players
The Lady U’s currently have two international players on their books
The Lady U’s play football across the whole South East of England 

SOME HARD FACTS
The ladies club receive no financial backing from any organisation
It costs the Ladies Club £500 per season per player just to train and play
CAN YOU HELP???


If you would like to know more about sponsoring your very own Lady U’s then all you need to do is get in touch with us.  Every sponsor will receive their own photograph and regular updates of how their player is getting on within the squads and on the pitch.  Your name and sponsorship will appear on the ladies website and in the match day programme as well as a formal announcement to the media.

What are you waiting for? Group together with some fellow U’s fans and share the cost of sponsorship. 

We Need U to Help Us Achieve Our Goals!
