BIG DREAMS BIG SCREEN SOLD OUT!

Boreham Wood FC can announce that we have SOLD OUT for today’s semi-final Stadium pub garden initiative and we ask supporters who do not have a pre-booked ticket to respectfully watch the game elsewhere.

Chairman Danny Hunter said, “We have in conjunction with our local licensing officers and environment health, set a crowd limit of 310 Stadium tickets and they have already been pre-sold.

“It is clear our supporters and our Town are all very excited about the game and the difficult task that lay in front of our players, which has shown as we could have sold three times the amount of tickets.

“Because of the demand we’ve already hired a second ‘big screen’ to allow people to enjoy the game, as such the Club will open both the East Stand and North Bank, to ensure there is enough space for everyone to catch up with the friends they haven’t seen in months and months…

“We’ve also set up the Stadium in such a way to ensure that people’s safety is in the foremost in our thoughts, as we see our Stadium hopefully come alive again for the first time since mid-March. This is a day whether we win or lose, where we hope our Town and local Community will come together and simply enjoy a day with their families and friends in a controlled environment.

“All we ask is that everyone respects the Club’s ‘new normal’ protocols that we’ve put in place with your safety and well-being in mind, while respecting not only each other but remembering the incredible efforts of the NHS and all the countries frontline workers.

“Trust us, we are going up to Harrogate to win, to represent our Club, our Town, you supporters and of course the Wood Army in the best way we can.

“We’ll be doing our upmost to bring you our fans and our Community the result we and you all crave, but if we don’t pull it off, we must all stay positive and get ourselves ready for yet another promotion push next season.

“We believe next season will start around September 12th, but hopefully we’ll be worrying about that at a later date. In truth we fancy ourselves to prolong our season by at least another week and we would love to see our fans still dreaming of Wembley and the Football League again.

“Harrogate, as we all know, are a great side, but they know nobody should write an underdog Club like us off. They know we’re also a decent outfit who’ve lost just once in twenty games. We are at full strength, we’re in great spirits, we’re in great shape, we have great players and we have great faith in our gaffer Luke Garrard, each other and his dressing room.” Hunter concluded.
