Today, as Telford Town Football Club welcomes Sandbach United to the Lionheart Security Services Stadium, we come together for an occasion that means far more than football.

Today marks our Remembrance Day fixture, an opportunity for our club, players, officials and supporters to stand united in honouring the brave men and women who have served our country, particularly those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We are incredibly proud to announce that today’s Telford Town side will be led onto the pitch by our Vice Chairman and First Team Coach, Adam Wilson.

Adam is a proud former soldier with the British Army

For Adam, Remembrance is not simply a date on the calendar. It is an occasion of deeply personal significance, remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us.

As a football club, we are immensely proud of Adam and every member of the armed forces service past and present , and it is only fitting that he should have the honour of leading our players onto the pitch on such an important occasion.

PRIOR TO KICK-OFF

As a mark of respect, our players will proudly wear poppies on their shirts for today’s fixture.

Before kick-off, Adam will lay a poppy wreath in the centre of the pitch on behalf of Telford Town Football Club, as we come together to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We are honoured to share this moment of remembrance with Sandbach United, their players, officials and supporters.

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ARMED FORCES

Telford Town Football Club is also proud to reaffirm its support for the Armed Forces community.

We warmly invite all serving members and veterans of the British Armed Forces to attend today’s fixture, and indeed any future Telford Town fixture, completely FREE OF CHARGE.

All serving personnel and veterans simply need to present their Armed Forces ID at the turnstiles to receive free admission.

This is not simply a gesture for Remembrance weekend. It is our ongoing commitment to recognising and thanking those who have served our country.

Whether you are currently serving or have previously served, you will always be welcome at Telford Town Football Club.

It is a small gesture of appreciation for the enormous commitment and sacrifices made by our Armed Forces personnel and their families.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

Today, football takes a back seat for a moment as we remember the courage, service and sacrifice of generations of men and women.

We remember those who fought for our freedoms, those who continue to serve and those who never returned home.

Their courage will never be forgotten. Their sacrifice will always be remembered.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

LEST WE FORGET.
