Southend United have signed a partnership with TeamCard to bring you the Team Blues Membership Scheme which lets you collect TeamCard points when you purchase goods from the Southend Club Shop, from participating high street shops and through the TeamCard website retailers.

You then use your TeamCard points to pay for merchandise and season cards at Southend United, to lower the cost of supporting your club!

Garry Adamson, Southend United Commercial Director, commented: "Season Card Holders are automatically members of Team Blues, and Non Season Card Holders can sign up for just £10 which will give you second tier priority on purchasing match tickets. As a member of Team Blues you will receive two key fobs enabling you to start collecting TeamCard points.

"The TeamCard programme is a great way for supporters to help the club and themselves at the same time. Collecting points with our partner companies will lower the cost of following Southend United by allowing fans to redeem points against club merchandise, season cards and from time to time match tickets. It's a real win-win initiative".

"Fans can collect points online at www.teamcard.co.uk with over 80 retailers selling everything from CDs and DVDs to groceries and electrical products," added Garry.

Supporters may also collect points at the Club Shop, where you will get five points per £1 spent on Club merchandise. This replaces the current discount scheme.

Southend United Season Card holders are automatically part of the Team Blues Membership Scheme and will be receiving their Fobs towards the end of January when the scheme will go live.

However if your details are not on our ticketing system then we will not know where to send your key fobs.

If someone purchased your Season Card on your behalf, or you think for any other reason your contact details are not on our system, then please come into the Ticket Office with your Season Card and at let a member of staff check for you.

If you're not a Season Card Holder then don't worry because you can still be part of the Team Blues Membership Scheme.

For non Season Card Holders it costs just £10 to sign up and not only do you get 500 points (worth £5) already loaded on your Card to get you going, you will get second priority on Cup games and Away matches.
