The Saints Trust are working in partnership with the City Council

For the past few weeks the Saints Trust have been working alongside the City Council in looking at ways they can help the Club, this follows on from the Press Statement of a few weeks ago when the Trust called for the Council and local MP's to get involved with the Club's plight.

Since then the Trust has entered into dialogue with all parties and has been looking into positive ways to help the Club's plight, sadly it had been apparent that the club was staring over the precipice and that anything that could be done might be too late.

However despite this mornnings announcement the Trust will launch a campaign alongside the council to encourage Saints Supporters to get behind the Club in the vital weeks to the end of the season and indeed beyond, the Club has been in existence for 124 years, every Saints supporter would surely want to see it make 125.

This is about Southampton Football Club and not about one individual, its about the supporters and the supporters only.  

On Thursday Evening the Saints Trust and City Council would like as many Saints supporters, whether Trust members or not to come along to a Photo Call for the Press at the Civc Centre, all supporters of any age will be welcome and please wear the Club colours with pride, this is a chance for Supporters to show the world that they will not let the Club die.

The intention is to take a group photograph for the Daily Echo to publicise the campaign on the steps of the Civic Centre, there will be some significance to the location, in that the picture taken in the Club's darkest hour will be just underneath the balcony where Lawrie McMenemy and the team presented the FA Cup to thousands of fans in its greatest hour back in 1976.

Please come along and show your support for the Club and indeed anyone who would like to get involved with this campaign please contact the Saints Trust through its website or the City Council.
