Plans for the new season are already underway, and the club will be announcing in good time how you can get hold of season tickets and other ways in which fans can support our exciting plans both on and off the pitch.

However, with lockdown continuing and the battle against Covid 19 still yet to peak, it felt more appropriate at this moment in time for Clitheroe FC to use its social media reach to raise funds for the NHS via the NHS Together Charities. We have already supported local charities on match days throughout the season, helping to raise hundreds of pounds in the process, thanks to the generosity of our fans, and wanted to continue in this vein. We have chosen to support NHS Together Charities given its remit, and with quizzes being the flavour of the month, we have asked club photographer Peter Ryan to set the questions. All a bit of fun, but it would be positive if we could show our support for those helping us stay safe in a very practical way.

Clitheroe Football Club for NHS.
