RAMS ARMY TO SPONSOR YOUTH TEAM AWAY TRAVEL

We are also very pleased to announce that the money raised by the Rams Army (including our popular 50/50 match-day draws) will be used to pay for our excellent youth team’s away travel. This is a commitment that the Rams Army executive have been happy to make and this sponsorship will run for the whole of the 2009/2010 season. We wish our young Rams the very best of luck for the forthcoming season.

       WATCH CRYSTAL PALACE RESERVES AT THE K T STADIUM!

A great opportunity to watch Championship reserve team football at the K T Stadium as the club are pleased to welcome the Palace reserves. Palace will play all of their home fixtures for this season at the home of Croydon Athletic (and I believe the arrangement includes a pre-season friendly against a much stronger side than we saw this year!). Entry is only £5.00 (£1.00 concessions). All games kick-off at 7pm: Wednesday December 16th v Brighton (POSTPONED)
Wednesday January 13th v Crawley (POSTPONED)
Wednesday January 20th v Aldershot
Wednesday March 3rd v Brentford
Wednesday March 10th v Leyton Orient
Wednesday March 24th v Millwall
Tuesday April 20th v QPR

Our match day 50/50 draw has proved to be very popular.  Tickets can be bought before kick-off for 50p each and the winning ticket is drawn at half-time. 50% of the ticket sales is one by one lucky fan.  The other 50% is retained by the Rams Army.  We have now decided to sponsor the away travel for our very successful youth team for the 2009/2010 season.  The money raised by our 50/50 draws and other events will fund this sponsorship.
