LATEST UPDATE FOR THE NOTTS SENIOR LEAGUE GROUNDHOP



THE VERY LATEST ON 2nd PRECISION NOTTS SENIOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE GROUNDHOP TICKETS ARE ON SALE
(For Booking Information email hornby60uk@yahoo.co.uk or call Rob Hornby on 01623 486678/07973517603)
 
Bookings for the 2nd Precision Notts Senior League Groundhop have been coming in steady with already over 80 bookings from as far as Sweden and all four corners of the United Kingdom. The coach is nearly full now with just 4 seats remaining and organiser Rob Hornby is fairly confident that this seasons event will be as popular as ever.

Hornby states "that the format is very simple, a Notts Senior League match is played on the evening of Friday 11th April with four league games on Saturday 12th April at four homes of clubs chosen."

This season the chosen matches are:

Friday 11th April 2014: 
Cotgrave FC v Burton Joyce FC (7.45pm)

Saturday 12th April 2014: 
Wollaton FC v Beeston AFC(10.10am)
Ruddington Village FC v Boots Athletic FC(12.50pm)
Keyworth United FC v Sandhurst FC(3.40pm)
West Bridgford FC v Bingham Town FC(6.30pm)


Rob Hornby who has organised 9 Central Midlands League Groundhops in the past and last seasons First ever Notts Senior League Hop is hoping again for big crowds as in the past 10 years.

Hornby says " that the Hops work well as they are cheap and affordable for all, at just £15 for the Advanced Ticket, that gets you admission in to all 5 Grounds and a programme from each game in a pack. We get a lot of people who come along who support Football League clubs but like to support the smaller clubs and in this way of the hop, the advanced ticket helps all ten clubs that take part. Food is available at all 5 grounds all different and all costing £2.50 or under, teas and coffees at 50p a cup, some clubs will have beer on sale as well."
 
Rob added " my wife runs a programme stall for charity with lots of Non League programmes for just 4 for £1, this year the money raised is going to The Oaklands, a place for Adults with Special Needs. There are also other stalls that attended and each club will have their own stall, with home clubs selling their first ever badge at just £3."
 
Hornby is hoping to sell a lot more Advanced Tickets as they are now on sale up till the 3rd April 2014 and hopes to beat the target of 150 Advanced Tickets, so its halfway there at the moment. It is important as Rob stresses that from the Advanced Ticket all ten clubs get a share, as turning up on the day and paying on the gate only the home side take the cash and for it to work, its only fair to reward all ten clubs, Hornby feels that all money is vital to these small clubs also Hornby knows by the sales of advanced tickets how many programmes the clubs will need to produce, as the only way of being guaranteed all 5 programmes is via the Advanced Ticket.
 
This season is also the Notts Senior League's 10th Anniversary, so it would be good to see the attendances of last seasons first NSL Hop beaten, the highest crowd was set at Kimberley MW FC of 379.

The Coach only has 4 seats remaining and costs £15 for a seat to take you round the 4 grounds on the Saturday and leaves Queens Road at the side of Nottingham Railway Station but has to be booked with the Advanced Ticket.
