SUB CLUB TOUR 2025 - LIONS GIBRALTAR FC
It's finally time. The 2025 edition of our sub-club tour is here.
We're going to Gibraltar, and our monthly subscription club members are invited to join us!
We've teamed up with professional football club Lions Gibraltar FC to create the ultimate football weekend trip for our subscribers.
Whilst in Gibraltar, we'll be treated to VIP, behind the scenes access with the club. We'll be watching a training session, attending a match, visiting the club's very own sports bar and meeting the players.
Exact dates are TBC (awaiting Gibraltar FA's 25/26 fixture list) but we're expecting the tour to take place across a weekend in Sept/Oct 2025. Confirmed dates will be announced ASAP.
If you’re a subscriber who’s interested in joining us in Gibraltar - brilliant! Get in touch via enquiries@surpriseshirts.co.uk or call us on 01507 304510.
Don't worry, you won't be committing to anything at this stage, we're just looking to get a rough number of how many subscribers will potentially be joining us.
We'll send details on potential costs, places to stay, and more information shortly.
By the way, every monthly subscriber has the chance to win the entire trip, paid for by us! One lucky sub and a plus one will win.
A bit more on our hosts, Lions Gibraltar FC...
Lions are unique; formed in 1966 when a group of friends started a team after the euphoria of England winning the World Cup. They wrote to the FA, asking for permission to wear the Three Lions badge; this wish was granted, meaning Lions Gibraltar are the only side other than the English national team with the Three Lions on their crest!
The club was purchased by Mark Palmer (ex CEO of Solihull Moors) in 2024, with the stated aim to improve the club's performances and to raise their profile outside of Gibraltar.
The club almost qualified for the UEFA Europa Conference League, by reaching the final of the Rock Cup, but narrowly missed out in a close fought encounter with FC Bruno's Magpies. In the league the club comfortably finished in the top 6 play-off cut. Next season, Lions hope to take the next step and qualify for a European spot.
The incredible Lions Gibraltar 2024/2025 shirts are beginning to be sent out to some of our customers, so keep an eye out. You might find one in your next box...
Sharon Kerrie Millar, Head of Communications at Lions Gibraltar will be our host on the trip, and she has a message for you!
"Hi Surprise Shirts subscribers!
All of the family at Lions Gibraltar FC are so excited for this collaboration. I designed the home and away shirts with the Three Lions pride in mind, and added the Gibraltar Flag at the back of the neck to celebrate our Gibraltar roots. I hope you love the shirts as much as we do.
We can't wait to meet you all in Gibraltar and welcome you to the Lions family!"
We couldn't have asked for a better club to partner with for this trip, so a huge thank you to all at Lions for helping make this happen.
