FA Trophy : Chorley away - admission & travel

FA Trophy : Chorley away - admission & travelChorley v FC United of Manchester, Saturday 10th January 2014, kick off 3pm

This game is to be played at Victory Park, Duke Street, Chorley, Lancashire, PR7 3DU

This game will be pay on the gate and soft segregation will be in place. This decision has been made to ensure spectator safety. Due to the limited amount of space available along the Ashby Street side of the ground, the segregation is being used entirely to prevent a potential ‘crush’ situation arising if large numbers of supporters from both sides attempted to change ends at any stage during the tie.

‘Soft-segregation’ means that stewards will be policing the areas of the ground where supporter’s areas meet as both clubs agree there is no need for physical barriers between the two sets of friendly fans.

FC United fans will be housed in the Pilling Lane end of the stadium and will have access to a limited number of seats in the main stand (available on a first come first seated basis). Access to the ground is via the newly refurbished turnstiles which are accessible from the Rangletts Recreation Ground.

Unfortunately, due to the requirement for segregation, FC United supporters will not be able to access the club house at any time on the day.

Admission prices are as follows:

Adults £10
Concession (aged 60 and over or students with valid ID) £7
Aged 12-16 (inclusive) £5
Aged 8-11 (inclusive) £2
Under 8 Free (all children aged 11 or under must be accompanied by a responsible adult.)

If the event of a draw the replay will take place on Tuesday January 13th, kick-off 7:45pm, at the Tameside Stadium, home of Curzon Ashton FC; Richmond Street, Ashton, OL7 9HG
