TOWN'S Blue and White Foundation received a £6,000 injection yesterday with a block booking of 60 memberships - all of them paid in full.

Helen Smith, of regular Town sponsors SS Components, worked closely with the club's promotions manager Pauline Howard to secure the new members from among their business associates.

"The Foundation is a terrific way of raising funds for the Academy and genuine fans should see this as the best way to help the club," said Helen, whose group agreed not to take their due commission, earning Town a further £500.

"Not only are members helping the Academy (it's £2 a week to join for various benefits), but they also get the chance to win a £10,000 cash prize."

Town are now hoping to sell more block bookings as they target a maximum membership of 2,000 for the Foundation, which launched in December.
