'We need our 12th man' - Bears bang the drum ahead of play-off semi-final
Congleton Town have been banging the drum ahead of their biggest match of the season.
The Bears are looking to secure their place in next season's Northern Premier League.
To get there they will first have to overcome Chasetown in the play-off semi-final on Tuesday night (April 29).
Ahead of the clash, players and staff have been calling on fans and the wider Congleton community to show their support.
Manager Richard Duffy said: "Let's pack the stadium on Tuesday and get as many Bears supporters in getting behind the team.
"We need our 12th man more than ever this week.
"Your support has been phenomenal this season and since I've been here."
Club chairman, Charles Porter, added: "Your support this season has been nothing short of amazing and is massively appreciated.
"As we near the end of our promotion campaign I ask all of you for one final push.
"Get behind the team on Tuesday, give it your all, make as much noise as you can.
"It means everything to the team to have you behind them.
"Once more unto the breach my friends, once more!"
Congleton finished third in the Northern Premier League West Division.
The Bears finished the season with a 0-0 draw with promotion rivals Vauxhall Motors.
However, having scored 11 and kept clean sheets in their two fixtures before that, they will no doubt be confident going into Tuesday's play-off semi-final.
Club captain Darren Chadwick said: "Let's sell the Cleric out on Tuesday and remind teams of the fortress we have built over the past three seasons.
"We will need you to be our 12th man at stages of the game on Tuesday night, get behind us and do us proud!"
Forward Thomas Hampton added: "Tomorrow isn't just another game, it's a moment you'll remember forever.
"Don't just hear about it later.
"Live it, feel it, be part of something unforgettable.
"Let's make history together!
"We need you more than ever!"
The match kicks off at 7.45pm, with tickets available on the gate.
Tickets are priced at £10 for adults, £7 for concessions (65+), £3 for 10-16 year olds and £1 for accompanied under 10s.
If the Bears beat Chasetown they will come up against either Hednesford Town or Vauxhall Motors in the play-off final on Saturday (May 3).
