This love really can last forever…
A lifetime season ticket is a great way to support the club in its hour of need, but it also represents fantastic value. Just think how many goals, moments and wins you will never pay for again. If you are, shall we say, ‘a little bit more mature’ and are interested then please get in touch as we have some options around multi-year season tickets and transferability. Contact us to learn more.

NDP Heroes
We have always been a community club and in our hour of need the community has been answering the call and we can’t be more proud of our NDP Heroes.

We’ve been inspired by Marie Arthur (Bonnyrigg Rose Chair) https://shorturl.at/pIONf and Brendan Parkinson’s half marathon efforts https://shorturl.at/arM7X the lads attempting the 42 grounds in 42 hours and every other person or people taking on a fundraising goal!

We ask, where you can, to support these pitch funding heroes and we challenge you to a challenge of your own! Whether it be bashing out a marathon or baking a cake, pull on your cape or apron and let us know how you’re becoming a pitch funding hero.

Finally a big thank you to all who have pitched in with very generous donations in support of the pitch fund. You can check out the wall of fame here.

Thank you! C’Mon the Rose
