Tickets for Oldham's 'Groundhog Day' Ladbrokes Challenge Cup fifth-round tie against Hull KR at Bower Fold, Stalybridge on Sunday, April 22 (3pm) will be on sale from the Roughyeds office inside the Vestacare Stadium from 9.30am to 3pm today (Friday).

They will then be on sale again during the same times from Monday to Friday inclusive next week.

Prices are as follows:

Standing: adults £14, concessions £12, under-16s £2

Junior season-ticket holders get in free, but they need to go to the club office during the above times and swop ticket voucher 'A' from their season-ticket books for a match ticket.

Hospitality, which includes a two-course pre-match buffet, is available at £35 a head.

It also includes use of a private pay bar, pre-match interviews with big-match personnel, light refreshments at half-time and post-match presentations to Oldham's man of the match and champagne-moment winner.

All telephone inquiries, regarding cup-tie tickets or hospitality, to 07904 898177.

As part of the build-up to the big game, which rekindles memories of our great Challenge Cup win at Hull KR two years ago, the iconic Challenge Cup itself will be on show at the Vestacare Stadium between 6pm and 7.30pm next Thursday, April 19, while the Oldham players are training.

Fans can have photographs taken with the famous trophy and also take the opportunity to watch the players preparing for their big challenge against the Rovers' Super League stars.

"It isn't every day that fans can look at the Challenge Cup at close quarters, or have pictures taken with it, so we are hoping as many as possible will get down next Thursday night," said chairman Chris Hamilton.
