Boreham Wood have confirmed ticket details for their Emirates FA Cup First Round Proper tie at home to Wigan Athletic. The club has opened a phased sales process for the match, which is scheduled for a Saturday in November at Meadow Park, with a kick-off pending television selections. The team approaches this cup challenge from a position of strength, sitting first in the National League with 35 points from 13 games, having won 11, drawn two, and lost none.
Season ticket holders can purchase tickets from a Wednesday afternoon. Those attending the upcoming home league game this Saturday will have a dedicated window to buy after the final whistle. That match is against seventh-placed AFC Fylde on Saturday 24 October. A purchase database, open to fans who have bought home tickets over recent seasons, opens on a Saturday evening. General sale begins on a Tuesday, also with a limit on tickets per person.
Ticket prices are set for different age groups. All prices will rise on match day. The club confirmed that season tickets are not valid for this fixture and all young children must be accompanied by a paying adult.
Wigan allocation and stadium access
Wigan Athletic have been allocated tickets for the tie. Their supporters must enter through the stadium’s south turnstiles, accessible via the Brook Road car park. The fixture will operate under full segregation.
The club is calling for a packed Meadow Park to help fuel a potential cup upset. Boreham Wood Football Club said: “Let’s fill the rafters, pack Meadow Park and bring the whole community together as we walk out with the chance to make FA Cup history.” The club referenced past cup heroics, including a winner against Bournemouth, as inspiration.
Luke Garrard’s side head into the cup tie in formidable league form, sitting top of the National League standings. They are clear at the summit, holding a seven-point lead over Harrogate Town, and are on a five-game winning run, having thrashed Middlesbrough U21 7-1 in their last outing on Tuesday 20 October. Their next league fixture is away to Maidenhead United on a Tuesday, the same day FA Cup general sale begins. The team has been averaging a high number of goals per game during their current winning streak, having scored 34 goals and conceded just 13 across the season so far. Their recent form shows five wins from five, including victories over Woking, Sutton United, Altrincham, Kidderminster Harriers, and Solihull Moors.
