Andrew Madaras, Dunstable Town FC Secretary, has written this article especially for Hereford Supporters going to Creasey Park on Saturday.
On behalf of everyone at
Dunstable Town FC I would like to welcome you all to Creasey Park for
Saturday's Evo Stik Southern Premier League fixture.
We hope you all have a safe and
enjoyable day with us and return home having witnessed a good game of
football from two attacking sides, albeit at different ends of the
table. We greatly appreciated the warm welcome we received from you at
Edgar Street and the sporting reception you gave our players,
particularly at the end of the match.
We also hope you find us to be
an inclusive, friendly and welcoming club where irrespective of the
result we endeavour to look after our guests and their supporters in a
hospitable and respectful manner.
We have retained admission
prices at the standard rate of , Adults £10 / Concessions ( Seniors /
NUS / 16-18 yrs ) £6 / Under 16's Free. We did not feel it the right
thing to do to increase our admission prices simply to take advantage of
your loyalty to your Team.
Turnstiles will be open from
noon when there will be hot food and drink offers available in the
Clubhouse. In order to avoid queues building up later we are politely
requesting you arrive with plenty of time to enter the ground and make
use of the facilities on offer.
There will be no segregation in place and you will be welcome in all parts of the ground, and to change ends at half time.
We have arranged additional hot
food and bar facilities which you will find at the far side of the
pitch by the Deakin White seated stand. There are also extra toilet
facilities located on this side of the pitch.
The main Clubhouse on the near
side has a bar with wall mounted TV's. There is also a hot food hatch
and toilets both outside and inside. There is a disabled toilet inside
the clubhouse.
There will be stewards inside
and outside the ground for your assistance and volunteers directing cars
to the main and overflow car parks.
There will be a uniformed
police presence to maintain everyone's safety. Please be aware that
smoke canisters and similar objects are not allowed into the ground.
The match day programme is now a
digital edition with links available from our Twitter feed on Friday.
We do sell a 50p Match Day mini programme, 50 -50 tickets, golden goal
tickets and Club badges as souvenirs.
Creasey Park is a council owned
facility which is home to AFC Dunstable as well as ourselves, and other
community groups. In addition to the main grass pitch there is a 3g
pitch at the back of Creasey Park, which will be hosting a competitive
fixture starting at 2 30pm so please be aware of the fact that two other
teams and their officials will also be at the ground on Saturday.
