OPERATION Promotion is now approaching a fantastic £50,000 total.

The Mariners Trust launched the initiative on 1 June with the aim of boosting Paul Hurst’s transfer kitty for next season. The plan was to raise £20,000 in eight weeks with all proceeds raised added into Hurst’s existing budget for the Mariners’ 2015/16 Conference assault. The intention was for this money to be used to fund a new, key player. 

Town fans from all over the world have come out in support of Operation Promotion - with supporters from as far away as Queensland, Australia and New York in America have backing the campaign to boost Paul Hurst's transfer kitty.
