Fleetwood Town Community Trust will host a takeover event at the Bristol Rovers matchday this Friday, 30 October 2026. The initiative celebrates the close partnership between the Trust and Fleetwood Town Football Club, aiming to show its community programmes to supporters.
The event will take place at Memorial Park and Jim’s Bar ahead of the League Two fixture. Activities include an inflatable football shoot-out, fun football games, darts, and information stalls where fans can meet the Trust team. Trust CEO Tom Hutton will join guests in hospitality to discuss the organisation’s impact and its ambitions for the future across Fleetwood and Wyre.
This community focus arrives as the first team prepares for a key home match. Fleetwood Town sit 18th in the League Two standings with 14 points from 13 games, having taken one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five outings. Their next fixture is against 15th-placed Bristol Rovers at Highbury Stadium on Saturday, 31 October. The team's recent form, with one win, two draws and two losses, includes a dramatic 1-1 draw with Arsenal last Tuesday where Aaron Loupalo-Bi, Ronan Coughlan, Harrison Neal, Will Davies, Andy Cannon, and Conor Haughey all scored from the spot in a remarkable penalty sequence. That result followed a 2-1 defeat at Exeter City, where Ronan Coughlan was also on the scoresheet. Across the season, the side has scored 15 goals and conceded 17, leaving them 14 points behind the league leaders. The Trust’s year-round work aims to make a positive difference locally, and this matchday takeover provides a direct link between the club’s on-field efforts and its off-field community role. The event runs throughout Friday, leading into the squad's final preparations for the weekend game.
