Hamilton Accies slash ticket prices for crucial Arbroath clash

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Hamilton Accies have slashed ticket prices to £5 for their crucial Championship clash against Arbroath next month.Supporters of both teams will be able to enter New Douglas Park for the cut-price rate, for a match that is to be broadcast by BBC Scotland on Friday, March 3, with a 7.45pm kick-off.Club secretary Scott Struthers says there has been a huge demand on supporters since the turn of the year, and Hamilton Accies want to attract as big a crowd as they can for what could be a crucial relegation crunch.Accies are in action this evening against Inverness Caledonian Thistle, in a rearranged game where a home win would see Hamilton swap places with second-bottom Arbroath in the table, ahead of a visit by title-chasing Queen's Park on Saturday.In a statement issued by the club, Struthers said: "From the home game v Raith on January 2 up to the Arbroath game on March 3, we will have had a run of 13 games in two calendar months - 10 of the 13 have been at home, an incredible sequence."And with three cup ties in that run, at which season tickets aren't valid, it has been a challenging period financially for everyone, especially with other general financial issues just now, too."Accordingly, having spoken with the board, they have agreed to reducing the prices for the Arbroath game to £5 for everyone, home and away, regardless of age or category."We want to get a good crowd in the stadium right behind the team for this game."Accies fans will be in the Main Stand, Arbroath fans in the North Stand."Tickets for the game are available via the fanbase app from next week, or at the turnstiles on the evening.Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports
