Wanderers fans will get the chance to have their picture taken with the Papa Johns Trophy, the club has confirmed.
The Whites recorded an emphatic 4-0 win against Plymouth in the final at Wembley, with nearly 80,000 people in attendance. Kyle Dempsey, Dion Charles, Elias Kachunga and Gethin Jones were all on target against the Pilgrims.
It is Wanderers’ first trophy in more than 30 years, having won the same competition in 1989 following a 4-1 victory against Torquay. Under-18s boss Julian Darby managed to get on the scoresheet against the Gulls that day.
The trophy will be on display at the club shop between 12pm and 4pm on Thursday, April 13 and Friday, April 14.
While supporters are not permitted to touch the trophy, it is a great opportunity to see it up close and pose for pictures.
Chief executive Neil Hart told the club website: “We wanted to take this opportunity during the schools’ Easter break to put the Trophy on display.
“The board and manager Ian Evatt felt it was important to be able to share with the supporters the club’s first cup success in 34 years.
“We anticipate two busy afternoons so ask supporters to be patient and enjoy the chance to see the trophy here at the stadium site.”
Tickets will also be on sale for Wanderers’ remaining home matches against Shrewsbury, Accrington and Fleetwood.
Evatt’s men currently sit sixth in the League One table following Monday afternoon’s 1-1 draw against Cambridge.
It was the club’s third-highest attendance at this level, with more than 24,000 tickets sold as the Whites held their latest Family Day event.
Wanderers are aiming to maintain their place in the top six and give themselves a chance of returning to Wembley in the play-offs.
