Spennymoor fan pays fare for fans to Wembley

The boss of a County Durham-based company is helping Spennymoor Town fans make the trip to Wembley for the FA Trophy Final. 

SCH Site Services, led by lifelong fan Gary Finley, has paid for over-65 supporters to attend the match on Sunday, May 11, when the Moors face Aldershot Town. 

The gesture follows the club’s ‘Back the Fans, Fill the Stands’ campaign, which seeks donations to cover travel costs. 

Gary, who runs the firm originally known as Spennymoor Crane Hire, said he had to follow his heart and pay the cost for fans.

He said: “It’s fantastic to see the club subsidising coach travel for the fans. 

“But we all know just how tight the purse strings are at clubs at this end of the football pyramid, so for me, as a passionate Moors fan and being in the fortunate position of leading a local company, I just want to help the club get the best backing they can by contributing financially.

“It would be fantastic to see as many Moors fans as possible watching their heroes play, and hopefully win, at Wembley.

“Our family has been loyal supporters of our hometown club for decades, and my son is the club’s under-18s supporters’ representative, so we want fans of all ages to see the lads play on the hallowed turf and bring the trophy home.”
