Click here for ticket details ahead of Tuesday, December 13th’s (7.45pm kick-off) clash against Woking.

Season Ticket holders can bring a friend for just £5 for the fixture against Woking (£10 in executive seats). 

This offer is available up until kick-off on Tuesday, December 13th but must be purchased either online (details below) or in person/over the phone as this offer is not available on the turnstiles.

Former Iron skipper Cliff Byrne will be the special guest taking part in a Question-and-Answer session in the restaurant.

Byrne will go down in history as a club legend, having made 343 appearances, scored nine goals and being part of four promotion seasons - including skippering the team to promotion from League One against Millwall at Wembley in 2009.

Cliff probably also scored one of the most memorable goals in Glanford Park's history, the dramatic last-gasp equaliser against Tranmere Rovers to secure his side's place in the play-offs that particular season.

IRON TEAM NEWS

Speaking ahead of the game, Iron interim manager Michael Nelson said: “It was a long trip back with the lads, but everyone was alright after the game.

"There were a couple of bits of stiffness and aches and pains but, on the whole, everyone was fine and good to go into the Woking game.”

Liam Feeney & Kgosi Ntlhe (hamstrings) continue to miss out through their respective injuries, with Jordan Hallam back in training as he works towards match fitness.

THE OPPOSITION

The Cardinals were defeated 2-0 at home against York City last Saturday, making it their sixth defeat of the season after 22 matches.

The side from Surrey currently sit in fourth position, with Darren Sarll’s side registering 12 wins so far this campaign.

Current manager Darren Sarll was appointed in March 2022 of last season, following the departure of Alan Dowson after a four-year association with the football club. 

A strong summer has seen Woking catapult themselves into a play-off challenging side this season, following a 15th placed finish last season.

Forwards Padraig Amond, James Daly and Reece Grego-Cox have all hit the ground running for Darren Sarll so far, with former Wealdstone top-scorer Rhys Browne acquired during the season in October which has added additional firepower to the side.

In the 2018/19 season, Woking finished second in their National League South campaign, seeing off both Wealdstone and Welling United in the play-offs to claim their spot back in the English fifth tier at the first time of asking following their 2017-18 relegation.
