THE NEW SEASON IS ALMOST UPON US!

THE NEW SEASON IS ALMOST UPON US!

Peter McGrath3 Jul 2023 - 13:42

Everything you need to know.......

THE 2023/24 season will soon be upon us. There’s LOADS you’re all dying to know….. So here’s what we can tell you so far:

1. Pre-season friendlies ALL IN JULY are as follows:

- Saturday 8th Curzon Ashton (Home; 3pm)
- Tuesday 11th Cheadle Heath Nomads (Away; 7.45pm)
- Saturday 15th Warrington Rylands (Home; 3pm)
- Tuesday 18th New Mills (Away; 7.45pm)
- Saturday 22nd Ashton Utd (Home; 3pm)
- Tuesday 25th Chadderton (Away; 7.45pm)
- Saturday 29th Atherton Collieries (Home; 3pm)

Admission prices to each of our home friendlies will be £5 general admission; £3 Concessions; £1 Under 16’s

2. The season proper starts on August 5th when we’ll be taking part in the Emirates FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round. Our opponent and venue are as yet unknown – the draw is due to take place on Friday 7th July.

3. The full fixture list is expected to be announced by The Northern Premier League in the next week or two. We will announce our fixtures as soon as we have them, via our Twitter/Facebook accounts, and our website www.traffordfc.com; You can also follow The NPL on Twitter on @NorthernPremLge or visit their website at www.thenpl.co.uk

4. Admission prices for home League & Cup games this coming season will remain as they were EXCEPT for general adult admission, which rises from £9 to £10. This means our prices for 2023-24 are as follows:

- Adults £10 (£1 rise on last season)
- Concessions: £6 (no change)
- Kids Under 16: £2 (no change)

5. Season ticket prices have been frozen again this season. The general adult season ticket is therefore £150; Concessionary season tickets are £90; Under 16’s are £30. Please note season tickets are for home LEAGUE GAMES ONLY – not cup/knock-out games. We’ll play 19 home league games this season, so the adult season ticket equates to less than £8 per game or a saving of £40 across the season. Savings are also to be had with the concession and kids season tickets. If you’d like to purchase a ST, please speak to our turnstile staff at one of our home pre-season friendlies, or contact the club on any of the details at the end of this message.

6. In terms of sponsorship, from sponsoring your favourite player for £50, to sponsoring the Shawe View Stadium itself (negotiable) you or your business are welcome to support the club in the best way possible. Various deals are available and we are always available to discuss your requirements, but as a broad guide we have the following:

• Match sponsorship: You and your guests have access to the hospitality lounge with complimentary food & drinks. Prices start at £150 for four people; Included is a full page advert in the matchday programme, mentions on our website and socials, and announcements over the PA; Match ball sponsorship packages are also available – please contact us to discuss.

• Pitchside perimeter advertising boards come in size 2.4m (8ft) x 0.75m (2½ ft) and are only £200 per season (plus a one-off £50 board manufacturing fee); Larger boards are possible.

• Programme advertisements start at £60 for the smallest advert (corner page) to £250 for a full colour full page. Again, please feel free to contact us to discuss your requirements.

Many other sponsorship opportunities are also available, such as sponsoring a stand at the Shawe View stadium, to sponsoring our website or newsletter; We have Youth and Junior teams who are looking for sponsorship, and all our sponsors get regular retweets/postings with shared links to their company websites sent to our thousands of followers (for example, in excess of 12k on Twitter)
