This is a rough draft of a statement I will put out on behalf of the Unity group! Why is the group being set up now? Since the 23/24 season many of you will be aware of the fundraising I have been doing for Scunthorpe United! Football cards, Auctions, quiz etc! This has raised £17.894.72 ! So for last four months myself and others have formed the Unity group as it became to big for one person! Now we will be a proper elected committee by members of that group! The cost to join and be part of this venture is £10 for as long as the group exists! All money will be used in numerous ways to get funding into the club! Money will be used for sponsorship of players, games etc! Also we will expand on the tickets for families Where we purchase tickets for games from the club and allocate them to less well off families! Also blue light card games for families in our NHS or emergency services or military families! Hopefully helping to increase the club fan base! We will put huge emphasis on promoting our club to local youngsters by putting on parties at Christmas,Easter, Halloween so kids have a positive view of Scunthorpe United! We will work with the club and other supporters groups to achieve our objectives! We have applied for a small gaming licence and will have a bank account! Proper audits on our account every year! We urge all our members not to attack or abuse members of any other supporters groups! Our aims are simple! Help fund the club and try to increase the fan base! Thank you Stuart Maw.
This is a statement shared on behalf of Stuart Maw. A tremendous effort, driven by one individual in around 12 months. Stuart has sensibly decided that it was too much for one person, thus resulting in the forming of the Scunthorpe United Unity Group. Every penny raised by ourselves, will go back to the football club. If one person can raise nearly £18,000 in a year, what could a group of like minded people raise together? #UTI
