MATCH FOCUS | Easter weekend starts at Goldington Road

Posted: 26th March 2024
 

Final chance to see Bedford Blues under the lights this season as Mike Rayer’s side kickstart Easter Weekend by hosting The British Army this Thursday (KO 7:45pm).

This fixture is included in the 23/24 Season Ticket package. All other tickets available online with the usual £4 discount, adults from just £12 and U18 only £3, just click here.

Big Game Preview

Blues are set to blend a mixture of youth and experience as Rayer puts out a side including Bedford players, Saints dual-reg and triallists against an Army side in preparation for their showpiece event; The Babcock Trophy against the Navy at Twickenham in May.

The Army are expected to name a strong side, with Premiership and Championship experience, featuring former Blues centre, Frank Kelly. Both sides are likely to name inflated squads when the teams are announced on Wednesday. 

Food, Drink & Entertainment

Things may look and feel slightly different to a traditional home Championship matchday, but we’ve still packed out the evening to keep everyone entertained once through the turnstiles.

Grab a complimentary programme at the gate before heading to one of four public bars open all evening; namely The Rebel Bar, Scrum Bar, Former Players and Chalet Bar between the Burrow and M&J Stand. PLEASE NOTE: The CMC Marquee will be closed.

The mini fan village will this week contain the No.7 Coffee Mobile Truck and the Burger & Sausage Hut only, one of three hot food stands open on matchday. 

Post-game join matchday MC Sam Roberts in The Rebel Bar as the Final Whistle Man of the Match interview continues, or head to The Burrow at the Blues to kickstart your Bank Holiday weekend with live music from regular favourite, Ellie Antonini.

Blues Foundation Activation

Make sure to show your support to our Bellway Homes Guard of Honour, this week formed of Junior Blues U12s, as they step out onto the field just before kick-off.

Hospitality

With both remaining Championship fixtures sold out in all hospitality venues, Thursday’s match is your only chance to upgrade your matchday experience this season.
