“Alongside the ticket offer for fans, Fisher Community have invited a number of local primary schools to join us for the day too. Cherry Garden School have confirmed they will be in attendance once again, and a number of other local schools have received invites to come along and enjoy the day.” 

Fisher have also announced that they will be holding a collection for Southwark Foodbank, and encourage fans to bring something donations of tinned fruit, coffee, rice, rice pudding, UHT milk (1 litre cartons) and non-pork meat with them.

Over 90% of the food distributed locally by the Southwark Foodbank (run by The Trussel Trust) is donated by the public, and the club want the Fisher faithful to be a part of making a difference for those most in need in their local community.

We are also hoping to have some new additions available in the club shop in time for the game – so come down and cheer the Fish on in this six-pointer, and show your support for the club and the local community.”
