Altrincham herald the start of another year by making the relatively short trip across the M62 a week on Sunday for the second instalment of our festive double-header with FC Halifax Town at The Shay.

It promises to be an intriguing home-and-away two-parter between sides who are both handily placed in the Vanarama National League, starting at The J.Davidson Stadium on Boxing Day (3pm) and continuing in West Yorkshire on Sunday, January 1st.

The return meeting at The Shay also kicks off at 3pm, and Halifax have kindly provided the following information about entry to the stadium for what we hope will be a substantial away support.

"Altrincham’s supporters will be located in blocks A/B of the main East Stand. Turnstile 16. This is a strictly cash turnstile. We have very limited card facilities at the moment. Cash machines, if required, are located very close to the ground at both the Tesco store and the Esso garage (both of which are on the main road on the west side of the ground, virtually opposite each other).

Admission prices are: -

Adults - £21.00

Concessions (State pension age) - £18.00

17-12 years old - £9.00

All under 12s will be admitted free of charge

Current season ticket holders of EFL Two clubs and above will be charged the following upon production of their EFL/PL season ticket book/card at the turnstiles.

• Adult £12.00
• 17 to 12 years old £5.00

Disabled supporters pay admission prices as per their relevant age group. A carer, if required, is admitted free of charge. Please go to Reception for assistance.

It would be a huge help for everyone concerned if the correct money was handed to the turnstile operator."

As announced recently here on the club's website, we are running a 50-seater supporters' coach, and, at just £12.50 per seat, it's hardly surprising that it is starting to fill up.

Seats are still available, so act now to be sure of your place as the Robins bid to start 2023 in style, To book your travel voucher, please click here.
