Taunton Town's assistant manager has urged the fans to go to the Cygnet Health Care Stadium on Saturday (August 3) as the team face Bedford in their final pre-season friendly.

The match will be an 'entrance by donation' fixture, with people able to support the club financially ahead of the new season.

A spokesman for the club said: "We wish to open the club to the entire local community, to witness first hand the progress being made on and off the pitch during the closed season.

"We look forward to the prospect of an exciting season ahead."

Speaking after Taunton's friendly against Bishop's Cleeve on Friday (July 26), assistant manager Steve Murray said: “Taunton’s attendance over the last few years, certainly since I’ve played and been at the club, have risen and swelled and we want to build that connection with the fans.”

Taunton go into this game on the back of last season's Somerset Cup final against Brislington taking place on Wednesday (July 31)
