Town have announced that the Cheltenham match on Saturday 12th November will be this season's dedicated Remembrance fixture.
The Blues will wear shirts bearing poppies for the Bracknell FA Cup tie next Monday and when the Robins visit in the league five days later.
Matchworn and prepared shirts from the Cheltenham game will be signed and auctioned with all proceeds going to the Royal British Legion, who will be collecting outside the ground, in the FanZone and in hospitality areas at the match.
