Friends Of The Family

FIRST International Lending are sponsoring Argyle’s award-winning Family Zone For All next season.

The popular Family Zone For All played a key role in helping the Pilgrims win the prestigious Football League Family Club of the Year award for League 2 last season.

Now FIL, the sister company of First European Securities, are throwing their weight behind the successful project in an initial year-long deal.

Argyle Community Trust Manager Mark Lovell said: “We would like to thank First International Lending for sponsoring the Family Zone for All.

“This will allow us to improve and increase the services we currently offer and will enable the club to provide an even better family atmosphere for the new season.

“Our aim is to improve on the success of last year and First International Lending’s kind support will be hugely beneficial to improving the match-day experience of families.”


In addition to home and away fans attending the Family Zone for All on match-days, it is used for educational and community purposes on non match-days.

An FES spokesperson said: “We are overjoyed to be able to sponsor the FIL Family Zone for All.

“We are committed to promoting young people in football, whether it be attending or playing. We have sponsored the Youth Team; we have, alongside FES, our sister company, contributed to the Milk Cup tour of Ireland; and we intend to further back Kevin Hodges and his lads with a view to playing some part in the careers of future Argyle stars.

“So, sponsoring the Family Zone for All is a part of this support for the youngsters to be a part of our great football club.”

A season-long Membership for one adult and one child in the FIL Family Zone For All, which covers all 23 home League 2 matches in 2013-2014, is just £384. Additional child can be added to the Membership for only £30 each.
