Herne Bay United will take on the 2001 CERS Cup winners Club Pati Vic (Spain) in the Champions league match on Saturday 17th November doors open 7pm at the pier pavilion, Herne Bay. Last month HBU played their first “new format” Champions League match in Porto Portugal to approx 1000 spectators.

The Kent based club is having to finance entry into the competition which includes, travel and accommodation for the two referees (approx £1000) for each home match, travel and accommodation for the team on away matches, plus all of the smaller cost like hall hire for the home matches. It is expected to cost around £11,000 to compete in this years league. To fund their participation the club are having to raise money from ticket sales and local sponsorship, any short fall will have to be picked by the players themselves.

To have this type of competition in this country will be good for our sport and makes great entertainment so keep your calendar free for 17/11/07 (HBU v Vic, Spain), 15/12/07 (HBU n Prato, Italy) and 19/1/08 (HBU v Porto, Portugal). Tickets are available at the pier at £4 per adult and £ 2.50 for children. A three home match discount ticket is available at £10 for adults and £6 for children.
