Match day experience
This is just one of the many benefits to 'local partnership' if you are a local football club, school or college within the scheme. Your children can attend every home league game for free, accompanied by at least one paying adult. Within this experience we will select a few lucky children on a rota basis to take part in our stadium tour. They will get the opportunity to experience the inner workings of a professional football club during match day. They will also be introduced to the manager Dean Holdsworth, then meet the players and captain, Ben Herd. They will then take in the atmosphere of the pitch, Directors' Box, Directors' Lounge, dugout, boot room and officials' room.
All we require is your contact details so that we may inform you of possible home fixtures and we will do the rest. Your details will be used solely to inform you of any other match or local partnership experiences.
You may also be interested in the following experiences for your squad or students.

Again, normally reserved for our youth department, we can select 20 children from your football club, school or college to line up either side of the tunnel to welcome the players onto the pitch at one of our npower League matches with inclusion in our matchday programme too.
Our aim is to put back as much as we can to local organisations. This is a non-profit making directive. There will be total transparency with 'out-of-pocket' expenses, if any, being notified prior to any booking.
