Look behind the scenes at Mole Road
Tickets for the Bearwood Park Training Ground Open Day are now available to supporters who purchased their Season Ticket before 5pm on Friday 6th June.

The event will allow eligible fans the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes at the club's exquisite training facility on Sunday 13th July, the first event of this kind since the doors opened in 2019.

Tickets are available now by clicking the button at the top of this page, and will be available to redeem until 5pm on Friday 4th July - if you haven't bought your ticket before this cut off time, you will not be allowed entry.

Entry will be permitted in two hour time slots throughout the day, and with a high volume of visitors expected to pass through the gates, strict guidelines will be in place to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all visitors. Please see the full guidance below.

Further Selling Criteria

Full details of how you can secure your place are as follows:

Only supporters who purchased their Season Ticket before 5pm on Friday 6th June will be allowed to redeem a ticket.
Tickets are available as one per Season Ticket holder, and are strictly non transferable.
Time slots are on a first come-first serve basis and will run every two hours from 7.30am until 5.30pm.
Tickets will need to be downloaded to your Google or Apple Wallet.

Transport

Parking provision is not available at Bearwood Park, meaning all supporters wishing to attend will have to park at the Select Car Leasing Stadium and travel on one of the mandatory shuttle buses.
Visitors will need to be ready to board their shuttle bus at their scheduled time slot. It is anticipated that you will return to the stadium within 2 hours.
Failure to arrive on time for your allocated slot, could result in you missing your tour as there may not be space for you on the next shuttle bus.
Parking will be free of charge in the Select Car Leasing Stadium car parks

Available slots are going quickly. The 11.30 am one was full by lunchtime today.

I fear the club may have under-estimated likely take-up. The problem with things that are free is that people have nothing to lose by signing up to them and then being 'no shows'.

Only those who renewed by the 6th of June are eligible so I would imagine the club have assumed at least 90% of what ever that figure is will attend.

So around 7,500 eligible, if the club reports on season ticket sales progress were accurate. I doubt the club will have assumed as high as 6,750. That would mean putting over 1,000 fans through per two hour session!

I fear that their very good intentions could end up bouncing back and biting them on the bum.

If they manage to pull this off without any significant issues, full credit to them!

Odd they’ve not chosen to spread it out over 2 or 3 weekends.

At two or three times the expense, hassle to organise, and unavailability of the site? Not that odd really.
