Good afternoon to all Roughyeds,
For once, we have a lovely sunny and warm pre-match afternoon — perfect conditions for a great match tonight!
Once again, ahead of tonight, thanks are due to everyone at OAFC for all their help with pre-match planning.
Please take note of a few important details ahead of tonight’s match.
Turnstiles and Tickets
As always, please we encourage all Roughyeds to purchase tickets in advance via our website. However, tonight there will be four turnstiles open, accepting season cards, pre-purchased tickets, and card payments. Please note that turnstiles do not accept cash — card payments only.
Cash tickets can be purchased from our ticket/merchandise desk inside the FSW Bar 1895.
We also announced the “Bring a Friend for £10” offer for season ticket holders. Thank you to the many of you who have responded so positively. To add, the offer will still be available tonight at the turnstiles upon presentation of a season ticket and a £10 card payment, or via cash payment in the same way at the 1895 Bar.
Car Parking
The car park is back to normal.
FSW Bar 1895
Fully back to normal tonight for all our supporters.
Golden Gamble + Merchandise
Both Golden Gamble and ORLFC merchandise will be available in the FSW Bar 1895, with Golden Gamble also available in the Broadway Hospitality Suite and around the stadium.
A number of signed match balls will also be available in both the bar and hospitality areas.
Finally, I am asking all supporters to get behind the team this Friday and show that ORLFC can thrive in the town. Bars and the ground will be open from 5:30 PM.
Thank you for the strong response so far this week regarding advance ticket sales, boxes, and hospitality bookings. As a final rallying call, please encourage those still in doubt to attend tonight — bring a friend, bring the family, enjoy the evening, and give Alan and his team the support they deserve as we aim to emerge victorious over Midlands this time around!
Your support is valued always.
Best Regards,
CEO David Bottomley
