“Joe’s team showed an excellent attitude and played well. Joe worked for the club for a long time and we were pleased to see him and see his side in action.”

Any Town fans who show their season tickets at the gate on the night at The Hollows will receive half-price entry for the game – meaning adults will pay £2.50 and junior season ticket holders £1.50.
