In advance of a series of exciting pre-season games, Long Eaton United are delighted to announce the formation of a new, independent Official Supporters Club to be managed by local businessman Liam Hobbs.

The new Official Supporters Club will be launched on 1st July 2024.

Members of the Club will enjoy significant benefits including discounted season tickets, discounted entrance to games, discounted prices at the bar, discounts on club merchandise as well as priority on player sponsorships and invitation to members only club events and of course the opportunity to win £250 of monthly prize money. Liam is also working with other Long Eaton based businesses to secure exclusive offers and discounts for members.

Membership of the exclusive club will be via the re-vamped 1956 Club bonus ball scheme with existing members automatically receiving the club benefits. Supporters can join at any time during the season.

Liam Hobbs, who owns local Long Eaton business More Than Loft Ladders, said: “we have been supporters of the club since we first placed a pitch side banner 3 seasons ago, since we opened our shop on the local high street in Long Eaton, we have extended our sponsorship to the Academy at LEUFC as well as using our high street presence to advertise the club’s fixtures. There are so many good things going on at the club that we thought there would be real benefit in an independent supporter’s club to give the club the opportunity to share its news and ideas but equally importantly to give the supporters a genuine route to being heard by the club."

Liam added: "I approached the club who have been extremely receptive and have come up with a benefits package that is attractive to supporters whilst giving supporters a chance to continue to help the club going forwards and we are really excited by the forthcoming season and the opportunities that lie ahead."

The club said: “We all know last season wasn’t great for the men’s first team but there
are so many great things happening in the wider club and now around the men’s first
team. We think the timing of Liam’s approach was perfect. We are delighted to work with both him and our supporters to see how we can achieve what we are all working for which is the sustainable advancement of this great community football club."
