December’s Affordable Football

Christmas is coming and there’s plenty of reasons to avoid the shops…

1st Brighton & Hove Albion host the first of three under-21 games to be staged at the Amex Stadium this season when they entertain Arsenal with a 7pm kick-off. Season ticket holders can attend the game for free, admission otherwise is £5 for adults and £2 concessions.

5/6/7th The Second Round of the FA Cup takes place so check out your local team for any offers. Scunthorpe United, for example, have reduced prices to £12 (seating) and £10 (standing) for adults and £2 for under-16's as they host Worcester City.

6th Hitchin Town’s home game against Poole Town (3pm) is a ‘Pay What You Can’ fixture and kicks off after a march in the town aimed at highlighting the potential sale of the club’s historic Top Field ground.

10th Bristol City host Coventry City in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and, like their FA Cup tie against Telford three days earlier (Sunday 7th, 2pm), are offering 'Kids for a Quid' tickets for under-12's.

13th The first of three Mansfield Town home games that are part of a special cut-price ticket offer is against Cheltenham Town. Matches versus Exeter City in January and Northampton Town in February are also available at just £7 each.

17th After attracting 10,000 to their last under-21 fixture at Carrow Road, Norwich City will again be hoping for a big crowd when they take on Liverpool (7pm kick-off). Tickets in the Jarrold Stand are available free of charge at the official club website, on the telephone or in person.

20th Shrewsbury Town’s two Christmas home games against Morecambe and Wycombe Wanderers (28th) are covered by a special ticket deal with a reduction in matchday prices when bought together.

20th Coventry City The Sky Blues have reduced prices for the match against Fleetwood at the Ricoh Arena on Saturday 20 December to £10 adults, £5 concessions and £1 children in a bid to get a big pre-Christmas crowd supporting the City.

20th Barrow AFC have a Christmas ticket offer in place which covers the games against Boston United (20th), Harrogate Town (28th) and AFC Fylde (1st Jan) and which gives a £5 saving on usual admission prices.

26th Sheffield Wednesday's first home Boxing Day clash since 2009 has been designated as a 'Kids for a Quid' fixture meaning all under-16's can attend for just £1.
