Tickets selling fast for Chorley FC's crucial play-off tie

CHORLEY FC are expecting a crowd of more than 3,000 for their play-off semi-final as tickets are snapped up for Saturday’s game.

The Magpies face FC United in the EvoStik Premier Division semi-final at Victory Park at 3pm.

FC United have been fortunate to enter the knockout games after finishing sixth but disciplinary sanctions from the league mean ‘runners-up’ Northwich Victoria have been removed from the play-offs.

This game has been designated 'all ticket' so fans will not be able to buy tickets on the day of the game.

Tickets are on sale from the Chorley FC club office on Thursday and Friday from 10am to 10pm.

The allocation for home fans is 2,500 and nearly 1,000 of these have already been snapped up since they went on sale yesterday afternoon.

FC United have been allocated 1100.

It's anticipated the game could be a sell out as Garry Flitcroft's Magpies close in on a second successive promotion.
