TICKETS are now available for the biggest game of the National One season so far as Rams host new leaders Richmond under the Friday Night Lights on December 6 (7.45pm).

The hosts lost their unbeaten record at Rotherham Titans last weekend, a losing bonus-point not enough to stop them also being knocked off top spot by a Richmond side who came from behind to beat Sedgley Park.

It means the two teams are locked together on 49 points ahead of a contest which is expected to attract a record crowd to Old Bath Road – so make sure you come to the party and kick off the Christmas season early!

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.

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!

CAN I BRING MY DOG TO THE MATCH?
Dogs are permitted but must remain on a lead and stay at either end of the pitch and also on the care home side of the pitch. They are also allowed by the outside bar.
Dogs are not allowed in the stand, behind the stand and to the left of the stand facing the pitch.
All you need to know is on the following link which includes a research paper on the dog poo health issues and the reason why we do not allow dogs on any part of the grass areas. https://www.ramsrugby.com/a/policy-on-bringing-dogs-to-the-rams-rugby-ground--57988.html
