Spennymoor Town FC is launching a unique campaign appealing to individuals and local businesses to help us make travel to Wembley for the FA Trophy Final affordable for all, writes club secretary and Media & Communications Manager, Mark Simpson.
With an initial allocation of 7,000 tickets up for grabs for the game at Wembley on Sunday 11 May, we’re keen to ensure everyone who wants to be there can make it.
The club has already subsidised coach travel to various away fixtures throughout the season and now we’re asking for some help to take it one step further for Wembley.
We’ve launched our Back The Fans, Fill The Stands campaign which will allow businesses, organisations and individuals to fuel our fans’ pilgrimage to Wembley Stadium.
No matter how big or small, every contribution will go towards ensuring the cost of coach travel for Moors fans can be kept to a minimum for this historic occasion.
“Since joining the club, I’ve worked towards forming a strong and productive bond with our business community and loyal sponsors,” said Moors Partnerships Manager, Stephen Gilling.
“I’m now asking for them to back the club and its fans in any way they can with this campaign and play a real part in what is a historic occasion for everyone in the town.
“We’re taking County Durham to the capital, and we want everyone – from the council to the corner shop – to help us make this affordable for all so we can create a wall of black and white to roar the players on.”

Meanwhile, tickets are now on sale for the final against Aldershot Town which will take place on Non-League Finals Day (Sunday 11 May) with a 4.15pm kick-off. The FA Vase final will also be played earlier in the day.
Graeme Lee’s men clinched their place in the final with an astonishing penalty shootout victory over Rochdale at the weekend.
Tickets for the game against The Shots went on sale on Wednesday (16 April) and all Moors fans must purchase direct via Wembley’s online tickets portal at wembleystadium.com/tickets.
Moors fans will be located in the East side of stadium in the blocks denoted in green on the online map. There is an initial allocation of 7,000 tickets available to Moors fans in the lower tier (Level 1), but this could increase depending on sales.
In order to purchase, fans will need to register and create an account. It can take up to 15 minutes for an account to become active.
Supporters will also need to ensure their home address is added in their account as this could mean they cannot complete their bookings.
When booking 1-8 tickets via the website, fans will be sent as e-tickets and the cost of this is £1.50 per order.
If you require group tickets, a maximum of 70 tickets can be purchased via the website and physical tickets will be sent at a cost of £8.50 per order.
Ticket prices are £30 for adults and £10 concessions. Concessions include Seniors (65 and over), Students and Under-16s.
