Ticket details for Needham Market match

KIRKHAM & WESHAM FC have moved quick on to announce ticket prices ahead of their exciting FA Vase Semi-Final First leg with Needham Market at Kellamergh Park a week on Saturday, following Saturday's 1-0 replay success at Coventry Sphinx.

And prices are being kept at previous round levels in a bid to attract the biggest crowd ever.

President David Haythornthwaite said: "This is a magnificent opportunity for the community as a whole to get behind their team and cheer them on to Wembley.

"We have shown in this amazing run of ours just what a fabulous team we have here at Kirkham and the fans backed us in the last round with more than 1,000 coming through the gate.

"Now we want to reward them by keeping prices low and asking them to come back and support us.

"The next stop could be Wembley and that's a dream for us all."

Prices to the Semi-Final have been set at £6 for adults, £3 for OAPs and Children, and their will be a souvenir match programme.

Supporters are urged to purchase their tickets in advance of the game as a 1,500 safety limit has been set for what many believe will be quite a carnival occasion.

Tickets will be on sale on the day but to guarantee a ticket fans are urged to book in advance.

Tickets will be on sale at Escape on the hill in Kirkham Town centre and at Kirkham Sports from Friday, while fans can also pick up tickets by attending Saturday's top of the table clash with New Mills at Kellamergh Park.

With games in hand and a big gate expected on Saturday, to see what many believe could well be a title decider, these are exciting times for the town to enjoy.

Manager Mick Fuller is looking forward to Saturday's big game: "We have an opportunity to show New Mills what we are all about.

"Their form has dipped in recent weeks but we have to win our games in hand to haul them back and l'm confident we can do that."

Millers boss Tony Hancock, in his second season at Church Lane is looking forward to the game too.

He added: "I've been to watch Kirkham a few times this season since we beat them at our place back in September and l've been most impressed.

"I have to say that we are all delighted for Mick Fuller and his side to see them do so well in the FA Vase - they are a credit to our league.

"In saying that our priority has is promotion and Saturday's game at Kirkham doesn't get much bigger.

"We have nine games left to play and l've worked it out that we need six wins and we are up. But we want that title."

Tuesday's game at Darwen fell foul of recent bad weather and postponed at lunchtime.

No new date has yet been arranged for the game to be played.
