VMFC launch Boost the Budget: 500 Club

The 2026/27 season marks the beginning of an exciting new era at Vauxhall Motors FC.

With Chris Herbert and his coaching staff taking charge of the first team, the backing of new headline sponsors Premier Jet Support, and a renewed vision for the future, the club is looking forward with genuine optimism.

Now we're asking our supporters to play their part.

Today we are launching the 500 Club – Boost the Budget, giving supporters, local businesses and everyone connected with Vauxhall Motors FC the opportunity to contribute directly to the club's playing budget for the season ahead.

Every pound raised through the 500 Club will go directly towards strengthening the first-team budget, giving our management team the best possible platform to build a competitive squad for the 2026/27 campaign.

Whether you choose to join yourself, encourage a friend, or spread the word, every contribution makes a difference.

Why are we launching the 500 Club?

Football at our level is built on community. Success doesn't happen by chance – it comes from everyone pulling in the same direction. The support shown by our volunteers, supporters, sponsors and local businesses has always been one of the club's greatest strengths, and the 500 Club is another opportunity for us all to invest in the future of Vauxhall Motors FC.

Our ambition is clear: to build a sustainable football club that competes at the highest level possible while remaining at the heart of our community.

Speaking on behalf of the club, the committee said:

"This is a hugely exciting time for everyone connected with Vauxhall Motors FC. We've welcomed Chris Herbert and his coaching staff to lead us into a new era, we're delighted to have Premier Jet Support joining us as principal sponsors, and there's a real sense of optimism around the club. The 500 Club gives everyone the opportunity to be part of that journey. Every membership, regardless of the amount, will have a direct impact on our playing budget and help Chris and his staff build the strongest squad possible. We know times aren't always easy financially, and we'll never take anyone's support for granted. If you're able to join, that's fantastic. If you can simply help spread the word, that's equally appreciated. Together we can build something that everyone associated with Vauxhall Motors FC can be proud of."
