Trust in Yellow hold their annual Race Night on the evening after the game against Nuneaton Town.

Admission is FREE.  The first race is at 6-30pm to give the players chance to attend.

Part of the profits from the evening will go towards the subsidy that the Trust will be giving to the ‘Match updates service’ which is provided for supporters who can’t get to matches. So if you take advantage of this service we hope you will feel avaliable to support the Race Night by sponsoring or owning a horse even if you can’t get there on the evening.

It costs just £25 to sponsor a race and you can ‘own’ a horse for £3 which gives you naming rights. If you would like to be a ‘jockey’ this is £2.   All winning owners and jockeys receive a prize on the night.

We are also looking for sponsorship for the whole event which costs £50.

To take up any of the above sponsorships e-mail Rob Urwin at programme@southportfc.net or call or text 077900-41514 or see Rob or any other Trust In Yellow Board Member at any of our games or call in at the Trust Office.

We hope as many supporters as possible will attend what is always us an enjoyable evening and one which gives you a chance to meet Liam and the team.
