AS Aylesbury United Football Club approaches the end of their 110th season, the Club continues to promote their personal campaign to 'Bring The Ducks Home' and highlight their current homeless plight.
The Ducks currently play their 'home' games at Chesham United's ground, but need to return to Aylesbury as soon as possible to be financially viable and easily accessible to its current fans and for a future generation of supporters.
The Club also needs a base to support its Youth development, Reserves and Ladies section.
To continue on their campaign trail, popular local musician Loz Jones, together with local record label Jam Central Records have joined forces to try and help boost the profile of this campaign and bring awareness to a larger audience.
Currently scheduled for Monday 21 April 2008, the limited edition enhanced CD Single entitled "Bring The Ducks Home", (which also features an animated video of the song) will be released as both a physical single and digital download.
Proceeds from the sales of the single will be donated back to Aylesbury United to help them continue to fund their campaign, and continue to build support and media attention to assist their cause.
Aylesbury United Vice Chairman John Newman said: "Everyone at the Club is really excited about the release of the new single.
"Loz has really captured the essence of the campaign, what we are fighting for to highlight its fantastic 110 year history, and to bring the Club back to Aylesbury for the future generation.
"I'm sure the 'Bring the Ducks Home' theme will be sung by everyone who hears it, as it's so catchy and will help generate even more support for the campaign".
Loz Jones said: "It's only when a football club is no longer around, that it becomes obvious how important it is to its town, just ask those that have lost their clubs.
"Fortunately for the moment, Aylesbury United has only moved down the road but they need to be back in the town that they represent so well and with real pride.
"I'm really pleased that we can do something to help.
"I hope this song raises the profile and awareness of the current problem and encourages Aylesbury people to push for a new ground back in Aylesbury and get behind the team on Saturday afternoons."
Jam Central Records' Managing Director Stuart Robb adds:
"We have really enjoyed the opportunity to be involved and play our part in this campaign. The public support has been fantastic so far, and with the help of the new song, and the publicity surrounding the club and their 'homeless situation' we hope Aylesbury and the fans can 'Bring The Ducks Home' very soon!".
On Thursday 17 April 2008, Aylesbury United Football Club will be hosting a 'CD Pre-Release Party' for the Single at Chicago Rock Café (Aylesbury) from 7.30pm.
The event will broadcast the first public screening of the new animated video, plus there will be live showcase performances from local bands Loz Jones and The Red Bullets, celebrity guests, footballers and much much more…
Entry to this event is free. (18+yrs).
