Big Game Preview
After a Top Four finish in the past two seasons, Mike Rayer’s side will be looking for a strong start again this time around, but will be wary of the threat of the visitors from the Wirral.
Caldy head to town hunting a first ever success at Goldington Road, but have caught Bedford cold on the Mersey. After both sides ran some Premiership opponents close in pre-season, expect an evenly fought contest in which our #BluesFamily could make all the difference.
With several players expected to make their competitive debut in Blues colours, get down at GR and back the boys!
Last Chance Hospitality
FINAL CALL! Spaces remain in two of our hospitality venues, namely The CMC Marquee for a three-course dining experience and entertainment, or The Burrow at the Blues for a one-course street food menu with Chicken George and great views.
Food & Drink
All venues are back open for the start of the Championship season, meaning even more places available to try our newly launched lines on tap; including Kronenbourg 1664, Wainwrights, San Miguel Zero and Genesis. Head in early from gates opening at noon to sample all on offer!
The Mini Fan Village remains a must visit for supporters, featuring the No.7 Coffee House, Cabin Bar and the Burger & Sausage Hut – one of four places serving hot food along with Taylor’s Kitchen from the Scrum Bar serving hatch, Chicken George from the Burrow window and the front entrance unit.
Entertainment Details & Blues Family Activation
