KENDAL Town supporters are to be urged to join a money-making scheme for the club at Saturday's home match against Frickley Athletic (3pm kick-off.

The suggestion involves switching savings into a building society account.

Town have linked up with the Furness Building Society in one of its "affinity schemes" which has a spin-off to help raise funds for clubs.

Supporters can open an affinity account at any branch or agency of Furness BS offices and will receive an "increased rate of interest while knowing they are helping the football club".

Each year the society will add up the average balance on every Kendal Town affinity account and pay one per cent of this to the football club.

Kendal Town chairman David Willan said: "I am delighted that we have formed this important partnership with the Furness Building Society and I would ask all Town supporters to transfer their savings to a Kendal Town affinity account."

Rob Cairns, chief executive of the Furness Building Society, added: "Our affinity accounts are definitely a win, win situation.

"Supporters win by earning a bit of extra interest, while the clubs win by each and every year receiving their one per cent bonus, and we win by knowing we hare helping our local football club and achieving some great public relations."

Kendal Town boss Lee Ashcroft added his voice to the call: "It's a great idea and Barrow made quite a bit of income from the idea a couple of seasons ago, and it all helps the club and its future prospects."

On the field, Town lost 1-0 to Leek Town on Saturday despite being the dominant side and creating far more scoring opportuniities.

It dropped Town into a potential relegation slot as fourth from the foot of the table. The 19th club with the worst record at the end of the season from three leagues will be relegated in addition to the bottom three.

Ashcroft said: "In our next four games we have got Frickley twice, who I think are in the mix with us. We've got to beat them in another massive game on Saturday."
