Over the summer I’ve been working tirelessly with the help from members of the first elected committee setting up ECDSA.
At tomorrows match (Weymouth game) we at ECDSA are proud to be officially launching the Disabled Supporters Association and to also launch our first fundraiser in partnership with Exeter City Supporters Club in the collection and recycling of supporters old mobile phones (posters are around the club with all the relevant information). I will do a new post with all the information on the above fundraiser.
