Bath City FC joins National Lottery Campaign
Bath City FC is delighted to be a part of The National Lottery Football Weekends. If you are a National Lottery player you’ll be able to come and watch our home match against Dulwich Hamlet on Saturday 2nd April with a friend and get one of the tickets for free.
As fans, you’ll know how challenging the pandemic has been to clubs like ours. With a halt in the football calendar and no gate revenue there were serious fears about the future of many clubs. Thankfully National Lottery players stepped in to help protect many local football clubs, providing £12.5million of support to clubs in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
As thanks for the essential support, 231 clubs in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are now taking part in The National Lottery Football Weekends. Each club will, for one home fixture in March or April, run a special ‘Buy One Get One Free’ ticket offer for National Lottery players to take someone – potentially for the very first time – to a game.
Director Jon Bickley said:
“National Lottery players play a vital role in supporting our national game, especially at non-league and grassroots level. Bath City prides itself on being a community-owned club that is at the heart of our local community. The emergency funding we received helped us navigate the challenges of the pandemic, so that we are able to continue making a real difference to our fans and the wider community today.
We look forward to welcoming as many fans as possible to our game with Dulwich Hamlet on Saturday 2nd April. Please take the chance to bring along someone new to Twerton Park and kick off a new tradition!”
Full details on how you will be able to take part in the promotion, including how season ticket holders can participate, will be published soon.
