Rudge wants a bumper crowd

TIVERTON Town captain Nathan Rudge is urging as many fans as possible to back Echo Sport's 1,000 for 1,000 campaign this Saturday.

Rudge is hoping the celebrations for Tivvy manager Martyn Rogers reaching his 1,000th game in charge of the side will draw a bumper crowd to Ladysmead.

And the long-serving defender believes that the bigger the crowd at the weekend, the more it will spur on his teammates against Brackley.

"It would be great to see 1,000 or more there and hopefully we can do the club proud with another good performance," he said.

"It would be great to sign off Martyn's 1,000th game with a big crowd and three points against Brackley."
