Due to significant demand for an easy way to get to this trickily timed fixture next Friday night the club is providing affordable coach travel to the Don Valley Stadium.

Places are available now for the bargain price of ten pounds, with coaches leaving The Willows at 5.15pm for an 8 o’clock kick off - this should arrive in time despite the Friday night traffic. We have attempted to make the leaving time as late as we can comfortably allow it to be to give everyone chance to get there from work, but are concerned that departure any later than 5.15pm leaves the possibility of late arrival, so the coaches will not be hanging around past that time - it is your responsibility to make sure you are there before they leave.

Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis and cannot be held in lieu of payment on the day - call the shop on 0161 736 6564 or visit personally to book your space.

One final reminder - strictly no alcohol is allowed on the coaches. Anyone behaving less than well will be ejected from the coach and left to find their own way home. There will be children on the coaches so bad language will not be tolerated.

I’m sure you will all be pleased to know that the coaches will be stewarded on this occasion by the one and only Shirley Bradshaw of Forever Reds chairperson fame, and Shirley doesn’t stand for any messing

It should be a good trip - Sheffield away is usually a good one and hopefully all Reds should arrive back home safe and happy with another three points in the bag.
