Pirates fans are digging deep this Christmas

as busy as ever in the run up to the festive period.
Operations manager Jackie Turley explained: “It was good that the players got a well-earned break from their usual routine.
“However, the work of the club goes on, with plenty of effort going on behind the scenes which folk sometimes don’t see.
“We’ve been continuing to take group bookings at a steady rate now that we’re in Christmas mode, with a take up rate which suggests people are getting the message that they can come with their group and see the Pirates for very little money, either as a pre-Christmas treat or even as something a little different to their usual programme of events at any time during our season.
“Certainly, we’ve been busier in terms of taking bookings for the game on December 16 against Kirkcaldy and the derby against North Ayrshire Wild on Saturday, December 22.
“The group discount rate is in operation for all home games and clubs and groups shouldn’t hang around too long if they’re wanting to snap up a real bargain.”
She continued: “We know money’s tight everywhere right now so this is a chance for us to give back to the community which supports us the whole year round.
“We’re also looking for individuals who would like to support us via our Match Night Puck Sponsorship scheme, where again, for little money, fans can sponsor the match night puck, receive it with special engraving on it and get their photo taken with both team captains before the match.
“We’ve got another event coming up on December 22, but there’s other dates available if there’s supporters looking for a souvenir with a difference or wanting to give a young relative an extra special present.
“As usual, we’ve loads of seasonal souvenirs at our shop, including special Paisley Pirates calendars which are disappearing faster than Santa Claus down a chimney.
“We’d advise folk not to waste any time in getting their order in, and/ or contact us at paisleypirates@gmail.com if they want to make a group booking.”
