Free admission to mark new memorial

EVO-STIK Northern Premier League Tividale are looking forward to honouring the nation's servicemen and women for the first time since installing a war memorial at their ground.

Proud Dale officials unveiled the club's own tribute to the local war dead of Tividale and Rowley in August, with members of the armed forces on hand alongside club member Clive Billingham, pictured, to help dedicate a new Remembrance Wall in the clubhouse at The Beeches.

As the country prepares for Remembrance Sunday, the First Division South club announced on Thursday that all members of the armed forces, emergency services and their related youth organisations, will be admitted for free to their clash with Carlton Town on Saturday 8 November.

In the statement, the club said: "On the weekend of the 8th and 9th November the country will remember and honour the brave men and women who fought during the two world wars and later conflicts, giving their all to provide security for our nation.

"With this in mind Tividale FC and our recently installed memorial to the local fallen of Tividale and Rowley in the clubhouse, we feel that this gesture may now be even more poignant than ever."
