The game, which will get under way at 12 noon, will raise funds for the newly-crowned Skrill North champions, who booked their return to non-league's top tier at the same venue last weekend.

Admission is £2 on the gate with all money going to the club so supporters are urged to come down and support the event.

The assisted entry gate by the control tower will be open from 11am and the learning centre bar will be open from 12noon while the snack bar in the Sir Steven Roberts stand will be open for the duration of the legends game.

The post-season activities will continue later this month when the Bucks hold their annual end-of-season presentation evening at the neighbouring Whitehouse Hotel on May 16.

Tickets for the event, which were priced at £15 each, sold out out yesterday afternoon with fans understandably keen to continue the festivities following the team's glorious promotion.

Club bosses took to Twitter to thank fans after the last tickets had been snapped up, tweeting : "The Bucks Presentation night at @TelfordHotel is now SOLD OUT. Thank you for your amazing support #AFCTU
