In what is becoming a bit of a tradition at Brunton Park, we are delighted to be able to announce that the RAF will once again be delivering our match ball, ahead of kick off, on Saturday.

The Sea King Search and Rescue helicopter is due to hover in to the stadium at ten to kick off, where the ball will then be delivered to match official Anthony Taylor.

Those who have witnessed this event before will agree just how spectacular it is, so make sure you have your mobile phone camera primed and ready to go as the crew descend from the skies.

A huge thanks goes to the FITC team for sorting things out, and a special thanks to Group Captain Mark Page, Mrs Page, Flight Lieutenant Jim Halliday, Sergeant Colin Jackson, Sergeant Mark Brown, Corporal Paul Smith, Leanne Taber and Jim Milligan, who will all be at the game on Saturday.

As if that wasn't enough, Keiren Westwood will also be presented with his PFA 2Up Player of the Month Award in the build up to the big game, in recognition of his performances throughout March.

The presentation will take place on the pitch, and provides a great opportunity for the fans to show their appreciation to England's Number One.

Remember, to take advantage of our early buy discount you must purchase your ticket ahead of the game and, with a big crowd expected, we advise that you get your ticket, and book your place, as soon as you possibly can.

United v Southend - Saturday 19 April - kick off 3pm ... we'll see you there!!
