With a sell-out crowd expected, and a lot of activity in the build-up to the game, we're presenting you a what's on guide ahead of our Community Day against Chester on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
The Community Day was devised to increase the Attis Arena attendance, and returns for a second season after breaking the league's attendance record just over 12 months ago. This year, we're back bigger and better than before, looking to beat not just the league attendance record we set of 7,511, but to also beat the record we set in the play-off semi-final of 8,036.
With much more than a football match on offer, there's every reason to head down to the Attis Arena early and soak up the pre-match atmosphere.
Here's a round-up of what to expect on the day:
11am - Ticket office and club shop opens
Need to pick up your tickets, or check out our stock in the shop? The Iron's ticket office is open from 11.00am on a Saturday matchday, so pop up and see us or call 01724 747670. Tickets can also be bought online 24/7 from www.sufctickets.com, although availability is now extremely limited.
12noon - The Iron Bar opens, stalls, rides and food outlets open - let the entertainment begin!
Get that first drink in, and delve into our array of food offering in our fan zone created across the West Car Park and opposite the Systemise Fulfilment Iron Bar! We will have mobile bars, mobile food outlets, and so much more! There's certainly going to be a good pre-match atmosphere in this area, and there's every reason to join us early. Without even setting foot inside the Attis Arena, you will be able to join us and soak in the vibes ahead of the turnstiles opening.
