It isn’t too late to get behind England Women and Men this weekend as they return to action for the first time since the Rugby League World Cup – and to show your support for the MND Association.
Both England teams are facing France, and standing tickets for the South Stand at the Halliwell Jones Stadium can be bought online now at eticketing.co.uk/rugbyleague and will also be available on matchday, from the North Stand Ticket Office and payable by cash on the South Stand turnstiles – at £20 for adults, and £10 for under-16s.
And as part of the RFL’s support for the MNDA, £2.50 from each ticket will be donated to the charity.
Volunteers from the MNDA will also be conducting a bucket collection outside the ground, and the Rob Burrow inspired jerseys which both England teams will be wearing will be on sale at the ground, at an Elite Pro Sports outlet near the Brian Bevan Statue in the North-East corner - with £10 from each shirt sale donated to the MND Association.
The Burrow family will be in attendance, with Rob and Lindsey’s three children delivering the match ball for the Men’s International - as will Sir Lindsay Hoyle, RFL President and Speaker of the House of Commons, who will be part of the presentation party for the men’s match.
The Ticket Office will open at 11am with turnstiles opening at 1pm before England Women kick off at 2pm followed by England Men at 4:30pm.
Lynne Kenning will be performing the national anthems before both matches, and Join The Momentum community dance performances will take place at half-time of each game.
A commemorative programme will also be available to purchase on the day from vendors around the ground at £5 per programme.
