Matlock Make NHS Gesture




Matlock Town are offering NHS workers a free season ticket when football resumes. In a gesture to praise the outstanding work being undertaken in the NHS during the Covid-19 outbreak, any holder of NHS ID will be valid for the promotion. Gladiators Vice Chairman Bryn Apperley says that it is important that NHS workers receive full recognition as they work in unprecedented and difficult times, risking their lives to help others. “What the NHS are doing is tremendous. In these uncertain times it’s good to know they are there. We’ve no financial backing to offer but when we’re playing we can offer a good game of football at one of the nicest grounds with the nicest people in the country. ”Adult season tickets were priced at £180 for the 2019/20 campaign. NHS workers can obtain their free season ticket by visiting the club shop when season tickets go on sale before the start of next season. 
Meanwhile, the club has raised more than £5,000 towards a target of £15,000 to bridge the income from non-played home games.
