Our Emirates FA Cup First Round tie against Burton Albion will be our dedicated remembrance fixture.
Saturday’s match is our closest home game to Remembrance Sunday and will be our chance to honour those who gave the greatest sacrifice.
Representatives of both football clubs will lay wreaths in the centre circle ahead of kick-off, it will then be followed by a period of silence that will end with the playing of The Last Post.
Supporters who wish to be involved in the remembrance service are asked to take their seats by 2:50pm.
Ex-service personnel will be in attendance in the Staffordshire University Fan Zone collecting donations for the Royal British Legion.
Tickets for Saturday’s match are available from pvfc-tickets.com and will be on sale until just after kick off.
