Marine say 'Pay what you want' - Affordable football at Swindon Supermarine.

Swindon Supermarine FC have made a decisive move to put local football supporters first, switching their home fixture against Larkhall Athletic to Friday 27th February 2026 (7.45pm KO).

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.

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.
