GAMEDAY GUIDE | BRISTOL BEARS (H)
The PREM Rugby Cup returns to the CorpAcq on Friday night as we take on Bristol Bears on Friday 6th November, kick-off 7:45pm.
Alex Sanderson has gone with a mix of youth and experience in his side as we welcome Bristol back North, having opened the Gallagher PREM season against them back in September.
Friday’s game against Bristol Bears will also be our dedicated Remembrance Day fixture, with a number of tributes taking place ahead of kick-off.
Heading to the game on Friday night? Here’s everything you need to know ahead of kick-off!
For Friday’s game against Bristol, those with 2026/27 Season Tickets can gain access to the game at the CorpAcq as one of the many benefits of being a Season Ticket holder.
You do not need to do anything to activate your Season Ticket for PREM Rugby Cup fixtures, just turn up at the turnstiles and scan in as normal.
We need your support as we open up the season, so head down tomorrow night!
We will be dedicating Friday’s fixture against Bristol Bears to Remembrance Day.
Our Remembrance Day fixture is a chance to pay tribute and honour the sacrifices made by servicemen and women from across the United Kingdom. As a mark of respect, there will be a period of silence before kick-off at the CorpAcq Stadium, with the Last Post also played.
As part of our Remembrance Day activities, four members of The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment will be present in the Fan Zone, whilst a bucket collection will take place in both our hospitality lounges and Fan Zone, with all money raised going to the Royal British Legion.
The lads, as always, will arrive on Friday night 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 help cheer the lads on from the moment they arrive at the stadium.
The team will arrive around 6:30pm, so make sure you’re in place to welcome them in!
Turnstiles at the CorpAcq Stadium will be open to supporters 90 minutes before kick-off at 6:15pm, with the game getting underway at 7:45pm.
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 Friday night, with so much available to supporters to kickstart their matchday with us!
Open from 5:15pm and located close to the West Stand, food and drink will be available to supporters to get in the mood ahead of kick-off.
As part of our Remembrance Day tributes, four members of The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment will be activating within the Fan Zone with a Royal British Legion bucket collection also taking place.
