Time for one last huge Ramily effort!

RAMS' final National One game of the season is against old rivals Cinderford on Saturday, April 15 - and we are looking to build a record-breaking Old Bath Road crowd!

An amazing season sees Rams top-of-the-table with two games to go, but the Foresters inflicted a 37-17 drubbing on Seb Reynolds’ side back in December, preventing the visitors from claiming any league points, and will be looking to complete a seasonal double over the leaders.

Rams, meanwhile, will be hoping to continue their wonderful home form – they have won 11 of 12 matches and taken 57 of an available 60 points at OBR.

In defeat at Sale a week ago more than 100 Rams supporters went four hours north to Sale to help supplement a 1,350-strong crowd, with the OBR record 1,139 against Richmond in 2020 the one we want to smash!

So tell your friends, family and anyone else you can to come one down - an absolute cracker is in store and the title remains on the line with a positive result.

There will also be a live band after the final whistle for supporters to enjoy - so come and help back the boys to victory.

We are grateful to everyone who is now pre-purchasing tickets – it makes entry to the ground much easier for supporters – and are very appreciative to all our fans who have started using the new system.

Here are all the details to allow matchday to run smoothly.

CAN I BRING MY DOG TO THE MATCH?

With the increase in dog ownership this is the most popular question at the moment!
All you need to know is on the following link which includes a research paper on the dog poo health issues and the reason why we do not allow dogs on any part of the grass areas.
