Bears set to launch in February
Bears plan special pre-season launch event
Two pre-season warm-up games have now been confirmed, with the Bears travelling away to Rochdale Hornets on Sunday 7th February 2016, followed by a season launch event at the Butts Park Arena against Oxford on Saturday 13th February 2016.
Both clubs will provide stiff opposition in fixtures that are stepping stones for the IPRO Sport League One Cup game the week after against Gloucester All Golds on Sunday 21st February 2016, kick off 2pm at the Butts Park Arena.
The season launch against Oxford on Saturday 13th February 2016 will hold particular significance as it will include a visit from Leeds Rhinos staff and Ronnie the Rhino as part of a West Midlands Rugby League promotion hosted by the Bears. The current Challenge Cup and Super League champions will be bringing along their three trophies. The Ladbrokes Challenge Cup, the First Utility Super League Trophy, and the First Utility League Leader's Shield.
You will be able to have your photograph taken with these magnificent pieces of silverware both before and after the Bears' game against Oxford. This is a rare opportunity for sports fans to witness first hand these historic trophies that are the holy grails of Rugby League in the northern hemisphere.
Places for the launch dinner can be purchased for £30 per person, (see link below) which includes a two course meal and game ticket. Places are limited so book now to avoid disappointment.
