PAISLEY PIRATES SUPPORTERS CLUB-UPDATE
Paisley Pirates may be in opposition to the Dundee Comets in a Scottish National League
match this Sunday at Braehead Arena (face off 6.00pm), but off the ice their Supporters Club
are teaming up with the Salvation Army to bring some festive cheer to members of the local
community over the holiday period.
Club Chairwoman Marie Cadenhead explained, "Christmas is a very happy time for so many
people, but there are those who are less well off and for them the time of year is just another
challenge for them to overcome.
We've been in touch with the Salvation Army and we're
asking supporters attending our game on Sunday night to bring with them new or unused
items of woollen clothing, like gloves, hats, scarves, etc which we can pass on to a
representative of the Salvation Army who will be there at the match."
"As we've seen already this winter, it can be a very cold time of the year and we're looking
for any unused items of woollen clothing which will be a boon for anyone unable to get these
for themselves. A new hat, scarf or pair of gloves might not seem a lot for a person if they
already have them, but if you don't have them, and the cold weather is causing you
problems, it can make all the difference in the world. We're happy to take items of any size,
we just ask that they're not worn or second hand.".
She went on, "Our fans have supported previous festive appeals in the past, so there's no
reason to suggest they won't give as generously as they have done before.
Our club, the Paisley Pirates, receives so much support from the local community every year, so we're
delighted to be able to reciprocate in return, and we know our supporters will take this
opportunity to say a small "thank you" for that backing."
