Big Game Preview
After an important victory on Derby Day at Cambridge, Mike Rayer’s side will be looking to strengthen their Top Four ambitions by making it back-to-back league successes on home soil.
Caldy are winless on the road since December, but having never tasted success at Goldington Road, they will be looking to make history by spoiling the party!
Sue Ryder St John’s Hospice Support Ladies Day
Blues will be raising money for our newly selected charity partner, Sue Ryder St John’s Hospice. As a charity close to many people’s hearts locally, we hope to raise another significant amount.
A new temporary marquee will be erected outside the entrance to the CMC Marquee offering supporters a feast of additional treats with stalls from local Bedfordshire businesses, plus pre-match all ladies can enjoy a complimentary glass of bubbly, thanks to Carlsberg Marston’s.
Fifth Avenue return with beauty treatments, alongside stall holders; Scentsy, Patisserie Sheree, In Full Bloom, Holly’s Happy Ever After Face Painting, Her Game Too and a special #BluesFamily stall.
The customary shirt auction will take place from 6pm with the full team. This year will see select jerseys up for grabs; with the rest able to be snapped up via the silent auction. Click here for details.
There will be a raffle, auction and bucket collection as usual, whilst all Eco Cup donations will also go to Sue Ryder.
Food, Drink and Entertainment
With another large attendance anticipated, head to the ground early to avoid the queues and sample everything on offer. Grab a programme from the gates and visit one of our seven public bars; including the upstairs Rebel Bar, serving our full offering, including all three real ales.
