TICKETS are now on sale as Rams look to continue their fine home form with Leeds Tykes visiting Old Bath Road on Saturday, March 4 (3pm).
The hosts have won nine of their 10 fixtures on their own turf this season – including their past three – and have been bolstered by increasingly large crowds in the past fortnight.
Leeds are locked in a scrap at the bottom of the table, so another exciting afternoon of National One rugby is in prospect – we hope to see you there!
We are grateful to all supporters who are now pre-purchasing tickets – it makes entry to the ground much easier for everyone – and are very appreciative to all our fans who have started using the new system.
Here are all the details to allow matchday to run smoothly.
CARD ONLY PAYMENT
We are no longer accepting cash at the club so all payments need to be made in advance or by card at the bar and hospitality outlets . Thank you!
MATCH ENTRY - please pre-book your tickets
