As a community club we are always looking for passionate volunteers to help us run a matchday at Farnham Town.
The club has grown a lot over the last two seasons and the demand on people managing the matchday operation has grown dramatically; but we’re also not making the most of our fantastic community attendances – both for the men and the women’s teams.
Below are some roles that we need to fill, the responsibilities they will have on a matchday and their corresponding small token thank you package as part of the arrangement.
If you’re interested in any roles, please email Community@FTFConline.com

MATCHDAY STEWARDS (MENS AND WOMENS FIRST TEAM)
Our attendances have grown ten-fold in the last two years and in order to make sure we have a safe and well operated matchday we need to increase the number of stewards at the ground.
The roles of a steward are:
- Be at the ground a minimum of 1 hour before kick off and stay until 20 minutes after the full time whistle
- Help guide people to the right areas of the ground
- Keep an eye out for inconsiderate behaviour in the crowd
- Ensure the safety of the attending crowd
- Make sure the car parks are filled up correctly
- Matchdays are Saturday & Tuesday for the men’s team and Sunday for the womens
We will provide 2x alcoholic/soft drinks tokens and 1x food token (burger van only) per matchday. Hi-vis jackets will also be provided.

50:50 RAFFLE LEADER (MENS FIRST TEAM)
With over 600 people on average at mens first team games, not doing a 50:50 raffle seems a huge missed opportunity. It is. And we want to change that. If 33% of those who attend spent £5 on raffle tickets there would be a pot of over £1,000 a game; meaning someone would walk away with £500 CASH and so would the club. 21 home games a season and that’s an extra £10,000 to deliver innovation to the club over the course of the season. That person could be you!
The roles of the 50:50 leader are:
- Stand inside the main turnstiles to collect money and drum up demand of the 50:50 raffle
- Put all the bought raffle tickets in a hat for a random draw
- You’ll be given a float of cash and a card machine
- Filter the raffle tickets to the matchday announcer who can read out the winners of the draw
We will provide 2x alcoholic/soft drinks tokens and 1x food token (burger van only) per matchday. Hi-vis jacket will also be provided.

HALF TIME ORGANISER (MENS FIRST TEAM)
During half-time at every men’s match we don’t have anything happening on the pitch to entertain those in attendance. We’d love to solve this by having someone in charge of half-time entertainment. This could mean organising youth teams to do a penalty shoot out, it could mean seasonal challenges or maybe something even more creative to win prizes.
The roles of a half time organiser are:
- Organise what’s required for the half time entertainment & sign it off with the chairman
- Work with the youth teams if required
- Run the entertainment on the day on the pitch (Saturdays & Tuesdays)
We will provide 2x alcoholic/soft drinks tokens and 1x food token (burger van only) per matchday.
