The suspension of all rugby and sporting activity in England, along with the closure of the Club due to the Coronavirus pandemic, has seen the majority of our revenue streams shut off for the foreseeable future, with no clear idea on how long restrictions will last. This has hit Hartlepool Rovers particularly hard as we had a number of popular events lined up for our 140th celebrations. Longer term we have seen weddings and other events over the summer being cancelled.

Unfortunately outgoings and overheads still need to be paid, and like almost every sector of society, there is great uncertainty at present. In order to ensure that Hartlepool Rovers FC can continue to serve its community in the future and remain sustainable throughout this global crisis, we are in the unenviable position of asking for your help.

We understand that in the current climate, everyone's financial future is a little uncertain, but we would be very grateful for any support, no matter how great or small, that may help to bridge the gap until we can start playing rugby and hosting events again.

Below are a couple of ways that you can help generate revenue for the Club throughout this difficult period.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

Many people associate themselves with being a Rover but without being a current member. These may be ex-players, parents or grandparents of minis and juniors together with supporters. If you could become a member that would be extremely helpful and really appreciated. Details of subscriptions are below.

For existing members subscriptions are technically due 1st April - though most people pay at the AGM or by the start of the season. If you could pay asap it would really be appreciated. If you usually pay at a certain level please consider paying something higher or contributing a donation.

Subscription levels for adults.

Life Member - £350 - take the hassle out of paying your subs ever again
Vice President - £40
Player - £40
Members - £20
Social Members - £15
Pensioners - £10

Finally we are also applying for grants from the government, RFU and Sport England to bridge the gap in our income.

Thank you very much for reading this and hopefully helping Hartlepool Rovers.

Stay Safe everyone
