INTRODUCING THE NATIONAL LEAGUE CUP
We are excited to confirm our participation in the National League Cup, a combination of National League sides and Premier League 2 sides.
It offers a chance for the Stones to compete against some of the most talented young players in the country at some of the most prestigious football clubs in England, whilst also adding additional exposure and eyes onto the club. The combined prize fund for the competition is £1million, provided by the Premier League. Prize money will be distributed only to National League clubs.
The competition begins with a group stage, in which the top two sides of each group qualify to the knockout stages, taking the competition total from 32 teams to 16.
Each of the Stones group fixtures will be played at Grosvenor Vale, with the club taking 100% of the gate receipts. Please note that kick off time for these games will be earlier, at 7pm.
All tickets for these fixtures will be priced at £5 across all ticket categories - tickets for our opening fixture v Southampton U21s are available to purchase here.
