A Nod To The Future

Just a few minutes away from the magnificent Kelpies, lies the home of Falkirk FC, currently in Scottish League One but making progress towards a brighter future.

The club this week published a very detailed update on the current financial situation, incliding the investment made by fans into the Falkirk Supporters Society.

Prices have been reduced for the home game against Queen of the South, just two days before Christmas, with adult tickets £10 and concessions £5. Under 12's go free and tickets can also be bought and donated to those who may be struggling at this time of year.

A Deal At 'Dale

Proud members of the Football League since 1921, when many others have had spells out of the league (with some never making it back), Rochdale AFC continue to be a focal point for the local community and also the inspiration for some fantastic books, such as 'Kicking in the Wind' by Derick Allsop and 'The Overcoat Men' by Mark Hodkinson who has also a new book out now, called 'The Longest Winter' which details the 1973/74 season at Spotland against the backdrop of inflation, industrial unrest and more (so very timely).

With many of their near neighbours in the Premier League and Championship set for a winter break once the World Cup begins, 'Dale are offering four games for the price of three between the visit of Mansfield Town on Saturday 12th November and the Boxing Day game against Hartlepool.

Harrogate Town also have a ticket offer for upcoming matches against Leyton Orient on the 12th and Mansfield on the 19th of November and Northampton Town on 10th December.

The 'Festive Football 3 for 2' deal does exactly what it says on the tin and lets supporters watch the third game for free.
