With Christmas fast approaching, can we remind you that the Trust has a large selection of stocking fillers available in our online shop for the Mariners supporter in your life (or if you just fancy treating yourself). Keyrings, fridge magnets, bottle openers, coasters, pens and mousemats are all on sale, with many items costing as little as £1. To view the whole range of merchandise, just click on the GTST Shop tab above.

For those of you, who prefer to avoid packed shopping centres by doing your Christmas shopping online, don’t forget that you can raise money for the Supporters Trust at the same time by using our buy.at portal. It won’t cost you a penny, but GTST will earn commission on every purchase you make from retailers affiliated to buy.at.  These include many of the big name online retailers, like Amazon, HMV, Play.com, M&S, Waterstones, Asda, Tesco, Littlewoods, Virgin Wines and Lasenza. So whether you’re filling up stockings or wine racks, or treating the love of your life to sexy lingerie or a not-so-sexy lawn mower, or you’re looking for something to watch instead of the Great Escape this Christmas, you can get it all via our buy.at shop.

We’ve raised around £600 in the last couple of years, through just a handful of people using buy.at, but we could raise a small fortune if every Mariners fan who shops online started doing it via our portal.  A couple of extra clicks of your mouse; that’s all it takes. So please take a look at www.buy.at/gtst  or click on the link to the right of this article. If you haven’t checked it out before, I think you’ll be surprised at just how many major retailers are affiliated to buy.at, with some of them offering seriously good commission rates.
