If you think it’s only a few days since our last bulletin, you’re right!
However, we have a lot of information to share, so we put it all together in one place.
It’s a big bulletin, so please read it thoroughly. It may provide an answer you’d otherwise ask us on social media. As hard as we try, we can’t be sure to spot every question.
Club Office Opening Hours
The club office will close at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, December 17th, and reopen on Thursday, January 2nd, 2025.

Arrangements for Away Supporters at Stourbridge and Hitchin Town
Stourbridge
Bucks supporters have been allocated the bar inside the cricket club pavilion at the War Memorial Ground. There, they can enjoy real ales and a selection of beers, cider, spirits, and soft drinks.
Food will also be available, including a range of cobs, pork pies, and sausage rolls.
Hitchin Town
Bucks supporters are encouraged to buy their tickets online in advance of this fixture using this link:
https://hitchintownfc.ktckts.com/brand/match-tickets
This will facilitate their quick and easy entry into the ground.
Buying a ticket on the day is more expensive. It may also mean queuing, and because the Match Day Ticket Office is not close to the turnstiles, you would have to walk back to the turnstiles to gain ground entry.
If anyone has any ticketing enquiries, they can contact the Canaries by email:
Parking at Top Field is now minimal, and there is controlled parking.
Full information re car parking can be found via this link:

Supporters Association
TUSA has arranged an away fixture!
Our Supporters’ Association’s next monthly meeting is on Monday, December 16th, 2024. They’re taking the meeting on the road, and our good friends at The Boot Micropub in Market Square, Wellington, will host it.
As always, there’s an open invitation for anyone interested in helping TUSA or even just to understand how you might be able to help. There’s no obligation; at minimum, you can enjoy a cheeky pint in welcoming surroundings.
With Christmas only two weeks away, don’t forget that the TUSA Annual Christmas raffle will be held. The draw will be made at our Boxing Day fixture with Halesowen Town.
There are plenty of prizes on offer, and fuller details are available by following the link below:

2024: In Memoriam
As the year draws to a close, it’s also natural that we reflect on the year as well as look ahead.
The statistics above don’t reflect some of our most significant losses in 2024, namely the people who have passed away but who played for, supported, and served our football club.
We plan to commemorate those lost in the last twelve months on New Year’s Eve. If you have someone in your thoughts who had a connection to the club and who you feel should be included in our commemoration on social media, contact Richard Worton via email.
