Grassroots Day 2022

The Iron will host their fifth annual Grassroots Day, welcoming a wealth of local youngsters to the Sands Venue Stadium for our Sky Bet League Two fixture against Stevenage on Easter Monday, April 18, 2022.

The event returns following a season behind closed doors in 2020-21, with the success of the previous three campaigns seeing over 1,000 extra spectators situated in the AMS Stand.

United are pleased to be announcing the same offer in celebration of our local junior talent, also extending our group booking offering to other local youth groups such as Scouts and Guides.

Representatives of the groups are invited to take advantage of the offer which will see all registered Under-18s in the group admitted for FREE, while a special price of £10 will be in operation for adults on a maximum 1:1 ratio with children in the team.

Since 2016-17, we’ve had a massive amount of Grassroots success, with our flag bearing packages consistently selling out. As a result, we also introduced a brand-new big flag package in 2018-19, one which has also proved very popular.

As a result of the Grassroots Day, the visiting supporters from Hertfordshire will be located in the over-spill section of the East Stand.
