We are delighted to launch our website payment system for membership fees for the 2024-25 season.
Parents can now visit our membership payment page and select the relevant plan for them.
Parents can choose to pay in one 'full payment', or spread it out over 'instalments' of nine consecutive months.
To read a how-to guide and details on the different costs visit our membership news page.

Fees explained
We apologise for delivering the fees news later than usual, but the club has faced a number of serious financial challenges, which we will explain.
Prices across the board for everything have risen in the past year, including the hire of venues for winter training and costs to enter astro turf leagues that host matches in central venues, among other things as mundane as paint to line pitches.
Furthermore, we have been hit with a lot of costs for our own leased facilities due to the inclement weather over the winter, damage to the fields we play on and increasing reductions in the funding the council receives for the upkeep of leisure venues. This impacts all teams - as all use our grass pitches from May to September and ALL teams will rely on grass pitches for matches as they get older.
Taking all this into account we have managed to keep fees as low as possible, to attempt to limit the financial burden on parents who we understand have suffered from a nation-wide cost of living crisis.
We appreciate the fees have slightly increased. We have done our best to keep these increases to a minimum as we battle to maintain the club’s existence and we hope people understand the situation we are in as we strive to keep the club alive and to continue providing football for kids in our area.
Thank you for your continued and valued support.
We are often asked where the money from fees goes, so we hope this graphic helps illustrate how the club spent the income from last season:
