Wembley Bound!
After the excitement of the PJT semi-final, all eyes are now on Wembley on 2nd April.
It should be a great day out and, who knows, this could be a rehearsal for another visit in May! If you haven’t sorted your transport to Wembley, why not travel on a Supporters’ Trust coach. We will be leaving from the Stadium/Arena between 6.30-7.00am (tbc) and the cost is £50 (members) and £55 (non-members). If you aren’t already a trust member, your £55 will include a first year BWFCST membership. You can book places by emailing us with your details on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. – please hurry as seats are filling up quickly!

BWFC Legend Andy Walker is the special guest, Austin Knight is the comedian on duty and the evening will be hosted by Norman Prince.

Matchday Bus Service
As previously advised, we are continuing our discussions with the club to look at all available options ahead of the club making a decision on the matchday transport services for next season. We will shortly be carrying out a short survey of supporters specifically associated with this matchday service to ensure as many BWFC fans as possible are able to register their views. We are looking to move this along quickly as we are aware that this is an important factor in ensuring the matchday experience is good for all.
Disabled Access Working Group
Consultation continues on this subject and various action areas are being developed. These include provision of a Changing Place facility, introduction of an Accessibility Passport and scheduling of upgrading of other access requirements. Our working group includes representation from BWFCST, BWitC, BWDSA and the club. If you are yet to renew your season ticket, please consider donating to the fund for the Changing Place facility by using the section in the payment process identified for this purpose.
