The Champions are coming home this weekend, as we prepare for a title party at Edgeley Park following our final home game of the season against Accrington Stanley on Saturday.
Dave Challinor’s men made more history on Tuesday night, with a dramatic 5-2 win away at Notts County securing a first EFL league title for the club for 57 years, following on from securing promotion to League One last Saturday.
The title was secured in front of a jubilant 2,000 Hatters in the away end, but now it’s time for the Champions’ homecoming at a sell-out Edgeley Park.
The County Courtyard will be opening from 1pm on the day, with live music, player appearances and plenty of food and drink on offer ahead of the game. We will also be remaining open into the evening for a big title party, and invite all fans to come and join us to celebrate.
Ahead of the game don’t forget to visit us in the club shop as well, where we’ll have a new range of Champions merchandise in store – keep an eye out on our social media channels in the coming days for more details on that.
We are also set to be joined from 2pm on the day by DJ John Fitz, who will be blasting out all of your County favourites ahead of kick-off, so make sure to come down early to soak up the party atmosphere!
Following the conclusion of the match against Accrington, the players and coaching staff will exit the pitch, before being invited back out to be presented with the League Two trophy, which will be lifted by club captain Paddy Madden.
After the trophy lift, the players and staff would like to take part in a lap of honour around Edgeley Park, taking the time to thank each and every one of you for your fantastic support this season. We want everyone inside the ground to be able to feel part of the celebrations and share in the club’s success, which would not be possible without you.
In order for this to take place, it is paramount that supporters remain in their seats following the conclusion of the game. We have been informed by the EFL that a pitch invasion may result in the trophy presentation not taking place on Saturday, whilst the club risks further sanctions from the FA following supporters entering the pitch last weekend against Morecambe. Anyone who does enter the pitch on the final whistle may not be able to then watch any presentation that takes place.
Chally and the players are all excited to celebrate an unforgettable season with you on Saturday, from Edgeley Park to Castle Street, and on their behalf we ask for your co-operation after the game, to help make it a day to remember for everyone.
