**help required**

Hi all, a little plea for help from you all of you have any spare time and want to help out the community football team who I can assure you  will be paying back any favours from you all ten fold in work in the community in the future. 

We have a little project coming off tidying and painting the nupe club over the next few weekends and if you have any spare time at all and can help with cleaning or anything at all even for 1 hour or whatever you can spare please private mail the fort page or mikey mot mot mackinnon on Facebook for further details. Don't panic if you have kids and want to help out they can come along and if we have enough we could even organise a wee kick about for them while we work or the club has wifi if they prefer the more modern way of relaxation . 

Thank you for reading and if you can help in any way please get in touch, I already know some close family and friends who will help out with the cleaning and they know who they are so much love

Mon the Fort.

First pre season game tonight and it's an away fixture against stiff opposition, Nairn st Ninian 7.30pm kick off at show field park.

Exciting times, for the very first run out of our newly formed squad and management. with the chance to look at some of the players still not signed it promises to be an exciting match.

Best of luck to all our players and kris and his coaches and of course to Nairn st ninian alsO.

 

 

Isn't there another game on somewhere else tonight?

You're probably thinking of Olimpija Ljubljana and Qarabag FK .

Kick off is a 7pm and you can watch it live on Eurosport. :duck:

Worrying

 

The official site hasn't published the result from last night or confirmed a prize winner since February.

 

Has it been changed since the new ownership?

Aye, so NOT one of those confusing seasons where the first day defeat is lenient enough to leave a league table with Fort off the bottom, then.

 

18th place may already be bagged until April - go Fort

ICT are fielding their second string, right?

 

I mean - there's likely something in the Geneva Convention about the consequences of fielding the first XI in those circumstances

Hi guys sorry about the delays but the final score was

Fort William FC 0 v Inverness caley Thistle 16

Really strong caley team out tonight and although a hard night was great to see our players walk of the park with smiles on there faces and enjoying the talent on show from inverness.

 

Wonder if they had that score line down at the local bookies.

For most teams that would be a record defeat - I just know it isn't for Fort

 

Actually just Googled that, close - their record defeat is 17-0

That's just about do-able with a DL whip round - not entirely sure they'd welcome their underground support becoming so blatant, mind

 

Some of these are more than do-able.

 

Ball for one game £50

Player Sponsor £150 per year

Advertising Hoards (Pitchside) £250 per year

Player Kit Sponsor £250 per year

Print Sponsor £250 per year

 

Unfortunately £5000 for shirt sponsor seems out of our reach.

 

Time to pick one and set up the funding page?

First home game of the season approaches!

Fort William FC v Buckie Thistle F.C.

 

Thistle travel to Claggan park and usually they are one of the biggest travelling away supports to come to Claggan, so we need all our supporters there to give the jags fans a run for the money!! 

 

Saturday 4th of August, 3pm kick off.

Adults £7.00
Concessions £3.50
Kids accompanied by an adult go free.

Gates open at 2pm and the Bar is open before the game and during the game but drinks have to stay in the pub and during game the windows will be blanked out.
