CRADLEY Heathens will launch an exciting new era back at Wolverhampton on Easter Monday, March 28.

The National League's fixture compilers are currently working hard to come up with a defined list following the release of Elite and Premier League schedule.

With Wolverhampton launching their home campaign on the Tuesday night against Belle Vue, it frees up the Bank Holiday for the Heathens who are set to pull in a bumper crowd after their move back from Perry Barr.

Heathens officials have also revealed they are to offer free admission to their opening night to all members of the Ollie Ommer Children's Club as they look to continue encouraging a new generation of fans.

The new-look Heathens team will meet supporters for the first time at Cradley Heath Liberal Club on Monday, March 21 for their season launch night which will be hosted by popular club presenter Ian 'Porky' Jones. Only 40 tickets remain for the event at £5 and are available from the club shop in Cradley Heath Market or via the club's official website cradleyheathens.co via paypal.

Press and practice will be shared with Wolverhampton the following night, Tuesday, March 22, from 7pm onwards.

Heathens Director Nigel Pearson said: "It's an exciting time for the club and as we are opening during the Easter Holidays I'm sure we will see a bumper turnout.

"The ultimate aim for this club remains to see us racing back in the Dudley / Sandwell area, but for now there is no doubt the next best thing is Monmore Green and we are all delighted to be back there.

"We will continue to work with our planning experts on land we feel may be suitable and, in the meantime, if another party believes they have a suitable venue then our door is always open to discuss this with them.

"It's great to see the response from everyone, Gary Patchett and Will Pottinger have done a smashing job with the team and Chris Van Straaten and Dr Rod Brooks did sterling work to enable us to return to Monmore. It's time to look forward and enjoy."
