COACH TIMES ANNOUNCED FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND RECORD ATTENDANCE AT STOKE LANE!

After Tuesday night’s fantastic evening at Stoke Lane which saw Carlton Town beat Nottingham Forest under 23’s to reach only their 6th ever Nottinghamshire Senior Cup Final, thoughts move on to a packed weekend of action for Millers players and supporters alike.

The Millers recorded a record crowd for a competitive game at Stoke Lane with 733 attending the Bill Stokeld Stadium and one can only imagine how proud Bill would have been to witness the crowd and subsequent game and atmosphere.

Nottingham Forest under 23’s Manager Andy Reid was an absolute star, coming in the bar after the game and making a point of joining and speaking to the Millers Coaching staff and Congratulating the Carlton players on their victory and he is pictured with Jenson Parmentor and the now famous Charlie Clarke before the Semi Final clash.

Thoughts move to the weekend with Carlton set to face Cambridge City on Saturday and a coach is set to leave the ground at 11am with supporters welcome to join the players on the coach at a cost of just £10 each, which can be booked through Nigel Harlow from the supporters club on 07904 913764.
