MATCH FOCUS | Ladies Day Returns in Cup Knockout
It’s time to dress Goldington Road pink this Saturday as Ladies Day festivities return when Cornish Pirates head to town in the Championship Cup Quarter Final Second Leg (KO 3pm).
A special £10 Ground Entry ticket is available to all ladies for Saturday’s game; while the usual £4 online discount remains for all other adults. Buy tickets here.
Big Game Preview
The tie sits on a knife-edge following a ten-try, 75-point thriller down at The Mennaye last weekend, with Pirates travelling to Bedford holding a slender one-point advantage. Remind yourselves of what happened in Cornwall with our Match Report here.
The #BluesFamily really could make the difference on Saturday in our quest to secure a first trophy since 2005. Continue to show your support and get behind the Blues!
Macmillan Cancer Support
Blues will be turning pink for the day to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support as we attempt to raise funds for a fantastic charity, close to many people’s hearts.
In the Blues Marquee, supporters will find a feast of additional treats with stalls from local Bedfordshire businesses, plus the wonderful singer, Sophia Soul and MC Sam Roberts sharing the mic before and after the action on the field.
The customary shirt auction will take place from 6pm. This year will see only three jerseys up for grabs; with shop sales of pink shirts including a donation this year.
All Eco Cup donations will also go to Macmillan, as will the raffle and collections.
Food and Drink
Gates open from midday, head to the ground early and sample everything we have to offer! Why not grab a programme and visit one of our bars, with the added extra for all ladies to enjoy a complimentary glass of bubbly in the Blues Marquee, thanks to Eagle Brewery.
Elsewhere, visit the Mini Fan Village on the North Terrace to try our Coffee and Cake Horsebox, Trailer Bar and Sweet Cart before getting set for the big match.
There will be three Hot Food outlets available on matchday spread out across the ground; the Scrum Bar Serving Hatch, The Bedford Barn and The Burger Hut.
SwipeStation is back. If you are unfamiliar with the system which launched in The Scrum Bar earlier this year then more info is available here to grab a pint from the Fast Lane.
Community Activation
The Optimis Consulting Guard of Honour returns with representatives from our Junior Blues section. Make sure to give them a cheer as they step out onto the pitch in the build-up to kick-off.
Hospitality
Limited tables are available across all three of our shared hospitality offerings on Saturday, including The Dovecote Park Suite, Blues Marquee and The Burrow at the Blues.
Club Shop
The Blues Club Shop is open again this Saturday. Treat yourselves to a new piece of merchandise, ranging from replica shirts to rucksacks, books to beanies. Open from one hour before kick-off, at half-time and full-time.
