Ahead of Gigg Lane’s biggest fixture for five years, we are delighted to be able to confirm that the Manchester Road End will be also be open for the first time since 2019.

Works to the Main Stand and documentation around spectator safety will require further review, and despite the best endeavours, this now cannot take place until after next week’s game.

Keen to maximse the number of seats Gigg Lane has to offer for the Play-off Semi-Final, the stadium team in recent weeks were able to turnaround the required improvements in the Manchester Road End and after a thorough clean, it is ready to go and has been given the all-clear from the visiting safety officer this week.

The opening of the Manchester Road End does provide the club with the ability to increase the overall stadium capacity to 8,724.

Now comes the task of filling it, and this comes down to you! With over 2,000 pre-sale tickets already sold, tickets for the Cemetery End will become available shortly. Tickets for away supporters in the Manchester Road End will become available later on Saturday, once our opponents are confirmed.

Details on the ability to provide pay-on-the-gate turnstiles will be made closer to the game and subject to a review on tickets sold ahead of the game.

Padiham currently hold 4th position, with Charnock Richard looking to win their final league game this Saturday afternoon, to jump into this spot and become our opponents on Tuesday evening for the single-leg play-off tie.

Play-off Semi-Finals
2nd v 5th and 3rd v 4th, Tuesday 30th April

Play-off Final
Winners of each Semi-Final, Saturday 4th May

Ties are to be played at the home venue of the higher ranking side.

As it stands, we are due to take on Padiham at Gigg Lane in our play-off semi final. Should Charnock proceed to win both tomorrow night at Colne and against Pilkington on Saturday, we will take on the Greens at Gigg Lane and Padiham will take on Wythenshawe Town. Kendal Town would fall out of the play-off picture in this case.

More details on admission arrangements for the Semi-Final will be communicated after the point our opponent is confirmed.

The North West Counties Football League released the dates for the playoffs ahead of the end of the season, taking place over the following two Saturdays as indicated below:

Play-off Semi-Finals
2nd v 5th and 3rd v 4th, Saturday 27th April

Play-off Final
Winners of each Semi-Final, Saturday 4th May

Ties are to be played at the home venue of the higher ranking side.

Following yesterday’s results, we are due to take on Padiham at Gigg Lane next Saturday in our play-off semi final.

However, there remains the completion of fixture backlog for other sides going into next week. Charnock Richard still have four games to complete their season and their potential points haul could still see them grab 4th place, and a play-off spot.

Should it be mathematically possible that Charnock could still affect the play-off picture, the Semi-Finals would be delayed to the following midweek to account for this.

The league will review the situation on Wednesday this week, following the completion of the first two of Charnock Richard’s games – taking place on Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd.

More details on admission arrangements for the Semi-Final will be communicated after this point.
