IRISH LEAGUE: '˜We Are Ports' scheme offers fans '˜direct line' to help save club
An open meeting on Monday between the Board of Directors and fans highlighted concerns over the future of the club to complete the current campaign due to historical debts of around £300,000 dating back approximately 15 years.
As officials at the top of the club negotiate on a resolution to that key issue, supporters have taken immediate small steps towards internal aid.

“Each member has a vote to decide on how we then use that money and it remains the most direct line towards the club open to supporters.
“Our support is needed now more than ever, we have enjoyed the best of times following Portadown and it is up to us to help ensure future generations get that same chance.”
