The Southern League clash had originally been scheduled for Saturday but with Swindon Town facing Bristol Rovers in a highly anticipated derby that afternoon Marine have acted to avoid a direct conflict for local football fans.
The message is simple: football supporters in Swindon should not have to choose between two exciting local derbies.
By moving the fixture to Friday night at the Imagine Cruising Stadium Marine are offering Town fans the chance to enjoy a full weekend of live football — and they are adding further incentive. For this match only the club is introducing an open entry fee. In short, pay what you want at the turnstile.
It is a bold and community-minded gesture designed to welcome regulars and newcomers alike. Whether you are a season-ticket holder at the County Ground, a grassroots football follower, or simply looking for an affordable evening out the gates will be open. The club looks forward to welcoming you.
The earlier meeting between the sides delivered plenty of drama with Larkhall edging a five-goal thriller 3-2. Marine will be determined to turn the tables on home turf in what promises to be another competitive encounter.
Friday night local derby football under the lights has its own character. With league points at stake and local pride on the line the stage is set.
Supporters across Swindon are invited to come along, back Marine, and help create an atmosphere worthy of the occasion. The choice, quite literally, is yours.
