Stoke City Football Club are offering a "Buy One Get One Free" ticket promotion ahead of next week's Coca-Cola Championship home games with Southampton and Scunthorpe United.

With yesterday's news that the Scunthorpe match will be played on Friday 15th February, three days after the game with Southampton, we understand not only the expense of two home games within one week, but the short notice that people have for the Scunthorpe game.

As a gesture to show our appreciation to you the supporters, and to encourage a big crowd for both games, anyone purchasing a ticket for the game with Southampton will receive a FREE TICKET for the game with Scunthorpe United.

Announcing the initiative, Chief Executive Tony Scholes told stokecityfc.com:

"We want big crowds for both of these games to help the team in our end of season push.

"We want as many people as possible to be part of this and hopefully this promotion will help this to happen."

Supporters already in possession of a ticket for Southampton can go to the Britannia Stadium Ticket Office where they will be able to collect their FREE Scunthorpe United ticket.

For further information, please contact the Britannia Stadium Ticket Office on 0871 663 2007.
