Here is an update on everything you need to know ahead of tomorrows Semi Final clash against @AscotUnitedFC at the Taxtful Southbank.. โฝ๏ธ๐
Tickets & Admission:
For obvious reasons, this fixture has been extremely popular and is now a SELL OUT!
There will be NO TICKETS AVAILABLE ON THE GATE, so please do not arrive without a ticket as a entry will unfortunately been refused. As a small football club, we would love to allow many people in to the ground as possible but the safety of the public will always come first.
Gate Opening Time:
The gate will be open from 12:30 onwards and we would encourage all supporters to arrive as early as they possible can. With the large amount of supporters we are expecting, please be patient if you are asked to queue and remember, our club is run by volunteers so please be kind at all times! ๐
Parking:
Unless you have a reserved parking space, there will be NO PARKING AVAILABLE at the ground. Corsham School have very kindly offered us the use of their car park and it is a 5-minute walk to the club. We are actively encouraging all supporters to either get a taxi or a lift to the ground, or if you are local, please walk. We would also request that nobody parks on the Lacock Road as this road needs to be kept clear for any emergency services that may need to pass.
Bar & Toilets:
The main clubhouse will be closed tomorrow as this area is reserved for hospitality guests only. We have very kindly had a large marquee donated by Wiltshire Marquees and this will be located at the back of the pitch. We have also very kindly had some outdoor toilets donated to use for the day by both Kington Events and Grist Environmental. These will be located at the top of the pitch next to the marquee.
Club Shop & Programmes:
We will have our pop up club shop open tomorrow which will be the best place for you to be able to purchase your Corsham Town merchandise. We have a wide range of hats, scarves and shirts available to buy and it would be great to see a sea of red and white around the pitch. Corsham Print have also very kindly put together an A4 Special Edition Matchday Programme to mark the special day and this will be where you can purchase this from.
Food:
Loaded Corsham will be cooking up the Bratwursts throughout the day and you will be able to buy these from either the tea hut or the BBQ which will be located underneath a gazebo on the side of the pitch. We have also partnered with local cake company, Glamorose Cakes, they will also be located on the side of the pitch with some of the tastiest cupcakes you will ever eat!
You will find a site map as you walk in to the ground to show you where everything will be located!
Security & Policing:
After consulting with Ascot United, we have taken the decision to not segregate supporters as both clubs feel that this is not required. Whilst we are not expecting any issues on the day, we have had several meetings with the local police and local security firms and can confirm we will have presence from both the police, stewards and SIA security guards on the day should they be required. We as a football club have zero tolerance to any form of anti-social behaviour and anybody that is seen to be behaving in a discriminative way will be removed from the ground immediately.
And lastly, on behalf of everybody at Corsham Town Football Club, we would like to wish you all an amazing day and we hope you have a great time with us! For both clubs to be only 90 minutes away from Wembley Stadium is an achievement in itself, we just have to hope we are ones successful at the end of 90 minutes!
Thanks for your continued support!

Friend of mine asked me for some advice about what club to go to. Main thing I told him was to โGo where you are wanted; needed even. Donโt settle for where you are tolerated Bcos the level looks good on paper or itโs a safe option.โ I think this was the right advice for him ๐๐พ
Congratulations to @mattswan0 on picking up both players player and young player of the year last night. This man is going to be ๐ to our success next seasonโฆ. Well done Swanny #UTQ ๐ดโช๏ธ๐ดโช๏ธ
