What you need to know ahead of our Senior Cup Semi Final match this Thursday

First Team

We are expecting a crowd close to capacity this Thursday so it will be a busy night. Please give this a read before coming to the game to ensure you know what the crack is.

TRAVELLING & CAR PARKING

Ashington AFC wishes to be a responsible community organisation and a good neighbour to all residents living locally. The Club would make the following appeal to anyone attending the Semi Final fixture on Thursday 2nd May and would like to thank you all in advance for your cooperation.

Whilst there are a limited number of car parking spaces at the club, the anticipated crowd will mean they will fill up early, we would urge anyone who is able, to leave their car at home.

Regular Bus Services running to Wansbeck Hospital include the

1 Blyth, Bedlington Station, Stakeford, Lynemouth, Ellington, Creswell and Widdrington

X21 Newcastle, Bedlington, Stakeford and Newbiggin by the sea

There is also considerable car parking in Ashington Town Centre and you can walk to the ground in 20 minutes from there.

Please do not block the highway or any drives or garages locally.

FOOD & DRINK

The clubhouse is located on the first floor of the main stand. As we expect the match to be busy there may be queues. Our staff will be working hard to serve as quickly as possible, please bear with them as they do so.

Tommo’s Pit Pony Can Bar will also be open and is located on the North East side of the ground in the black container. The bar will be selling cans of beer, lager, cider and soft drinks. This is CASH ONLY!

Katies Kitchen will be selling food as usual on the East Side of the ground behind the net.

The Hatch on the side of the main stand will be selling hotdogs and nachos.

PROGRAMMES

Printed match programmes will be available just beyond the turnstiles and can be purchased at a cost of £2. Whilst we will be printing more than usual, these may run out, so get them early.

50/50 DRAW

Our 50/50 Draw tickets will also be available inside the ground on Thursday night with half of the ticket sales going directly into the prize pot. We expect this to be of high value so get your tickets to be in with a chance of winning.
