A Greenock takeaway has launched a special deal to raise money for Greenock Morton FC. Fritto's on Captain Street will donate £1 from every qualifying fish supper deal sold this Tuesday and Wednesday directly to the club. This initiative arrives as Morton seeks to turn around a difficult start to the season, sitting ninth in the Scottish Championship with zero points from three games. The Greenock Telegraph reported the fundraising effort.
How does the takeaway deal work?
Fritto's, located at 58 Captain Street, is offering a specific promotion to generate funds. The deal provides two one-piece fish suppers for a total price of £10. For every one of these deals sold, the business will contribute £1 to Morton. The offer is strictly for in-store purchases and is available from 4:30pm until 9:30pm on Tuesday, August 25, and Wednesday, August 26. The takeaway framed the promotion as direct support for the local team.
Fritto's said: "We are getting behind our local team & £1 from every deal sold will be donated too Greenock Morton FC." The business also used the announcement to encourage other local companies to find ways to back the Ton and urged the wider community to show its support. This kind of grassroots backing is a familiar story for the club, which continues to draw financial support from its fanbase and local enterprises.
What is Morton's current financial backing?
The club's Fighting Fund, alongside revenue from season ticket sales, donations to Morton Club Together, and new sponsorship agreements, has already raised a substantial sum. More than £42,000 has been collected through these combined channels. This consistent stream of community investment is vital for a club operating in the second tier of Scottish football.

Where does Morton stand in the league?
The need for ongoing support is underscored by the team's challenging opening to the 2026/27 campaign. Morton currently occupies ninth place in the ten-team Championship. They have lost all three of their opening matches, recording a form guide of LLL. With just one goal scored and five conceded, their goal difference stands at minus four. This leaves them seven points adrift of early leaders Stenhousemuir, highlighting the scale of the task ahead.
Such a position makes every source of revenue and morale-boosting gesture significant. The club's immediate focus will be on halting this negative run and climbing the table.

The direct backing from businesses like Fritto's provides not only financial aid but also a tangible demonstration of local belief as the squad works to improve its results.
