Three Cheers For Ilkeston FC

Football in Ilkeston has come a long way since the liquidation of Ilkeston Town FC in 2010 and the New Manor Ground now hosts Evo-Stik Northern Premier League football in the shape of Ilkeston FC.

A new head coach, Gavin Strachan, has been appointed for the new campaign who will look to continue the excellent work the club has done in the past few season in developing their own players and looking to move them into a career in the Football League while remaining competitive on the pitch.

Three important announcements have been made recently under the #IFCAffordableFootball

Season ticket prices were initially announced in March but the club have now reduced them to £120 for Adults and £80 for Concessions. Anyone who has already purchased now has a two-year season ticket while new buyers can get one of those for £180 Adults and £110 Concessions before Tuesday 30 June.

Secondly, admission prices for 2015/16 will be reduced to £6 Adults (the minimum the club can charge under the rules of their league), £4 Concessions and free for Under-16's when accompanied.

And thirdly, entry to the pre-season friendly against Bedworth United on Saturday 25 July will be absolutely free.

Chief executive Nigel Harrop said: “We know there is the potential for us to be attracting gates of over 600 and with this new pricing structure we’re hoping to see more people at the home games.
