TICKETS and lunches are now on sale for Rams’ Christmas fixture at home to National One table-toppers Rotherham Titans on Saturday, December 6 (3pm).

While earlier than normal due to back-to-back away games before the 25th, this fixture promises to be one of the stand-outs of the season as the hosts look to derail their on-song opponents.

Titans sit top of the pile with nine wins from their 10 games to date, but Rams defeated them 30-19 at the back end of last term in one of their best displays of the campaign.

With the festive season building up, a big crowd is expected so book your pre-match meals and tickets quickly to be part of what should be a memorable afternoon.

We are grateful to everyone who is now pre-purchasing tickets – it makes entry to the ground much easier for supporters – and are very appreciative to all our fans who do so.

Here are all the details to allow matchday to run smoothly.
