GAMEDAY GUIDE | BRISTOL BEARS (H)
The Gallagher PREM returns this weekend 🙌
Alex Sanderson’s side head into the new season in positive mood with a new-look squad, most with minutes under their belt in our two PREM Rugby Cup outings so far, as we welcome Bristol Bears to the CorpAcq Stadium on Saturday 26th September (kick-off 5:30pm).
Heading to the game on Saturday? Here’s everything you need to know ahead of kick-off!
Tickets are available up until kick-off on Saturday evening at the CorpAcq Stadium, and we need your support as we look to make the North a fortress this season.
As a small display of appreciation ahead of the new Gallagher PREM season, we are offering a FREE giveaway to the first 500 children to arrive at the CorpAcq this Saturday.
Our team will be on-hand at the Players Entrance outside the West Stand for children to collect their gift ahead of the team arrival so you can help bring the noise and show our support for the lads.
A huge thank you to the University of Nottingham for their support in producing these giveaways ahead of the game against Bristol Bears.
The lads, as always, will arrive on Saturday outside the West Stand at the Players Entrance.
We want you to join us and make as much noise as possible to welcome the team into the CorpAcq and set the tone for an evening of rugby in the North.
The team will arrive around 1 hour and 30 minutes before kick-off, so make sure you’re in place before 4pm to show your support.
Turnstiles at the CorpAcq Stadium will be open to supporters 90 minutes before kick-off at 4:00pm, with the game getting underway at 5:30pm.
Supporters should be aware that on entry, as part of Martyn’s Law, security and safety checks will be implemented on your way into the stadium.
Our Fan Zone at the CorpAcq Stadium will be open on Saturday, with so much available to supporters to kickstart their matchday with us!
