Lifeline has continued to bolster its membership over the past few weeks.

Now the scheme is only 111 fans away from reaching the new target of 2,000 members.

Manager Craig Short recently signed up, further demonstrating Lifeline's importance to the club.

But onwards and upwards continues to be the message from Lifeline Co-ordinator Lynn Lawson.

She said: "It's so great that we continue to push in the right direction.

"If we continue the way we are doing, we could even hit all-time highs.

"I think that the word is getting out about the benefits of Lifeline and the prizes - of up to £1,000 a week - that come with the £2 a week membership."

Existing Lifeline members could win one of three fantastic bonus prizes at the annual Lifeline Gala, which sees a holiday, a car and £10,000 up for grabs.

Tickets remain on sale and can be purchased on 0115 9557 200.
