Hitchin Town's LGBTQ+ supporters club called Top Field Rainbows is launched

In sport and beyond, the LGBTQ+ community have continually broken down barriers - on and off the pitch in football from the Premier League to non-league.

Hitchin Town are leading the way at non-league level by the formation of an LGBTQ+ supporters group called Top Field Rainbows, with the club organised by Katie Wilson.

"I am delighted to announce the forming of Top Field Rainbows, an LGBTQ+ supporters club, for Hitchin Town Football Club," said Katie.

"Most of the premier league teams have LGBTQ+ supporter groups- so it's time for the non -league to get involved as well.

"For those new to football or wishing to re-engage with the game, Hitchin Town is the perfect club.

"They have worked hard at being an inclusive and diverse organisation and continue to do so."

Club secretary and stalwart Roy Izzard said: "I can assure Katie she will always be most welcome at Top Field and we admire her battle to break down barriers."

Katie adds: "If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, we would love to hear from you, as we seek to make football a game for everyone and tackle the issues of homophobia and transphobia by raising awareness."
