❤️🖤 A LASTING TRIBUTE TO JIM ELSON 🖤❤️

As many of you already know, we recently lost our loyal supporter, James ‘Jim’ Elson.

Jim was a familiar face at Linby Colliery Welfare FC, and we wanted to create something special to honour his memory.

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who contributed to the collection, we have now purchased a memorial bench in Jim’s honour. It has pride of place at the ground, in the very spot where Jim used to sit and cheer on his beloved Linby.

The plaque reads:

“In memory of James ‘Jim’ Elson
A supporter, friend and a true part of our club.
Always here, always cheering.
1969–2026”

We hope this bench will be a place where people can sit, remember Jim, and reflect on the memories he leaves behind.

Jim will always be part of the Linby family, and although he is no longer with us, his memory will live on at the club he loved.

Forever in our thoughts, Jim. Rest in peace. ❤️🖤

♻️🌍 LINBY IS GOING GREEN! 🌍♻️

At Linby Colliery Welfare FC, we’re always looking for ways to improve our club and support our local community.

Until now, our waste has been going straight to landfill. Working alongside our partners at Gedling Borough Council, we’re pleased to be taking steps towards a greener future by introducing a new recycling initiative! 💚

Over the coming weeks, you’ll see changes around the ground as we introduce new bins for:

🔵 GLASS RECYCLING – glass bottles and jars
🟢 MIXED RECYCLING – cans and other accepted recyclable materials
⚫ GENERAL WASTE – items that cannot be recycled

Food waste recycling will also be introduced as part of the initiative. 🍎♻️

💚 Please help us by using the correct bins when visiting the ground. Every little change makes a difference, and together we can help protect our environment!

A big thank you to Gedling Borough Council for working with us on this initiative.

❤️🖤
