On Saturday, 18th October, Yate Town FC will be holding their third Community Day when it will be a PAY WHAT YOU WANT fixture for the visit of Walton & Hersham, to the South West Interiors Stadium.
Yate Town FC would like to thank their shirt sponsors GPI for sponsoring our Community Day and Yate Town Chairman, Mark Thorne, commented, ”The Community Day is one firmly fixed into the club's calendar. It’s great opportunity for the club to showcase its continuing involvement in the local community. A massive thanks to Graphic Packaging International for sponsoring this event.”
