Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Marine announces that earlier on this season, the club suffered the third floodlight fire to hit the Club in the last two years.
The floodlights are 35 years old and were due to be replaced in the summer of 2012.
Planning approval was granted by Sefton Council earlier in the year for a new floodlighting system in addition to a new stand and snack kiosk and the Club launched a £100k fundraising appeal in March.
Marine Chairman Paul Leary said:
“This is now a critical situation for our football club. Had the recent fire started during the game we would have had to evacuate the stadium and the game would have been abandoned. The installation of the new floodlighting system now takes absolute priority and is required as a matter of real urgency as we cannot now rely on the performance of the existing lights. The plans for the building of a snack kiosk and new stand will be put on hold whilst we concentrate on our efforts to raise funds for the new floodlights.”
“I appeal to our fans, the public, our suppliers and customers to make donations to our ground appeal in a real effort to help fund the installation of the new system as quickly as possible. The immediate target now is to raise £40k through donations which will cover at least 50% of the cost of the new system and the remaining balance is hoped to be covered by grants from the football authorities.
If anyone would like to make a donation to the appeal then cheques should be made payable to "Marine FC Ground Appeal” and should be sent to:
Mr RG Kewley
53 Seafield Avenue
Crosby
Liverpool
L23 OTG
If anyone would like to organise a fundraising event for the appeal please contact Club President Jean Pierre Hall on 0151-924-4448.
