The new League Two season is counting down to kick-off with Notts County due at Rodney Parade on Saturday, August 2 (3pm).
And to launch our hospitality experience for the new campaign, former Swindon, Notts County and Swansea City manager Luke Williams has agreed to be our special guest in Club Amber (formerly Bisley Lounge).
He’ll be joined by BBC Wales presenter Rob Phillips and club ambassador Mark O’Brien.
Luke, who actually lives in Newport, will be able to stroll to Rodney Parade to chat about his career to date.
Born in London, Williams played youth football at Norwich City and Bristol Rovers only to suffer a serious injury at 19 which ended his hopes of a professional career.
Instead, he took up coaching from an early age at Leyton Orient, West Ham and several years with Brighton Under-21s.
He made his first-team managerial debut with Swindon Town in 2015. Then after coaching Bristol City’s Under-23s, he became assistant coach to Russell Martin at MK Dons in 2019 and Swansea City in 2021.
Williams was appointed head coach of Notts County in 2022, leading them back to the Football League in his first season and breaking several club records, including the most wins and points in a season. In 2024, he returned to Swansea City as head coach until February 2025.
Hospitality guests will also get the opportunity to meet the entire squad and management after the game for photographs, autographs and to discuss the game of the day. We introduced the squad visits last season – and they were a massive hit with guests.
