Bromsgrove Sporting’s UK Electrical Stadium will be hosting a charity match to raise funds for the local Primrose Hospice, in memory of Rovers legend Mark Crisp, who sadly passed away in October 2024.
Many of Mark’s former teammates have dusted off their boots and will form an old Rovers team to play Birmingham City All Stars on Sunday 22nd March, kicking off at 11:00.
We’ve already shared some information about the game, which can be viewed here – the information below contains further details about what is set to be an incredible day, to honour an icon of Bromsgrove footballing history…
