Chairman Terry Smith said, “This is a great way for local groups to raise money and it should also be a great night out. We will make everyone who comes to the game through the scheme very welcome. Everybody wins, as we are contributing to the community and we also hope that it will attract new people down to the Deva. Clearly, we hope that people who come once through an organisation they are associated with, will come back under their own steam to future games.”

"We see young fans of today as being the fan base of our future and we also want to make a visit to football at the Deva Stadium a family affair. As a first phase towards this objective we have decided, for this Saturday's game to allow one child (under 16), accompanying a paying adult, free entry to the ground. To take advantage of this offer the adult and child should present themselves at the ticket office and upon the purchase of an adult ticket, a voucher permitting entrance by the child free of charge will be issued. This offer only relates to admittance to the West Stand. Entry to the ground should then be made via turnstile 7, thus avoiding the necessity for further queuing."

The Deva Stadium has received a bit of a spruce up, thanks once again to a small band of ISA Members.

Last weekend more than a dozen die-hard fans gave up a glorious weekend, and the opportunity to see England score six, in favour of some essential painting at the Club. Director Paul Murray, who his responsible for overseeing the facilities at the Deva Stadium said "This is yet another example of supporters doing their bit to help out, and their magnificent effort is clearly there for all to see". Yellow markings on stairways, designated areas for disabled persons and perimeter gates have been painted or re-marked.
