BRIGG TOWN v NORTH FERRIBY: HOPES OF 500-STRONG CROWD ON NON-LEAGUE DAY 2019

Brigg Town Football Club have an attractive home game coming up on Saturday (October 12) at the EC Surfacing Stadium (The Hawthorns) and is hoping to attract a crowd of 500 which will be the highest of the season.
The Zebras host North Ferriby in Tool Station Northern Counties East Division One (3pm KO).
Admission costs £5 (adults), £3 (concessions) with no charge for the under 16s.
North Ferriby - currently seven places above Brigg in the table - are well supported, and some of their fans will be making the relatively short trip over the Humber Bridge to watch this fixture which will be accompanied by a Brigg supporters' penalty shoot-out competition.
Town are fresh from a tonic 3-0 away victory last Saturday, while Ferriby's latest outing saw them win 5-0 at home.
With a sizeable crowd expected for Brigg v North Ferriby, Pips Kitchen should enjoy good trade for its meals and snacks.
Temporary boards promoting this facility were visible on Wrawby Road and at the nearby Recreation Ground last Saturday.
Pips Kitchen will also be opening during midweek matches for the remainder of the season.
