TICKETS are now available for Rams’ next home game as they welcome old rivals Bishop’s Stortford to Old Bath Road on Saturday, February 8 (3pm).
Of all the teams in National One, the Hertfordshire side are the ones Rams have faced the most, with the two teams clashing on 13 occasions.
Stortford won the first five and encounters, and while Seb Reynold’s men have since taken the past eight, they are almost always tight affairs.
This was the case back in October as Bishop’s became the first team to stop Rams collecting a bonus-point, a tight 10-6 success maintaining their winning start to the campaign.
Support at OBR has continued to grow this season – an average of more than 1,000 have been backing the Berkshire boys each week – and with Rams still on top of National One despite the narrow reverse at Sale on Saturday, continuing to build the momentum is key!
We are grateful to everyone who is now pre-purchasing tickets – it makes entry to the ground much easier for supporters – and are very appreciative to all our fans who do so.
Here are all the details to allow matchday to run smoothly.
