The magic of The FA Cup will be coming to town on Friday 28th November 2008 as the all new FA Cup Trophy Tour comes to London Road - less than 24 hours before the first team try and progress into round three at the expense of Tranmere Rovers.

The FA Cup Trophy Tour powered by E.ON will open at 11am and close at 7pm. During term time, the morning session (11am - 3pm) will be open to local schools, before being made open to the general public between 3pm and 7pm. To gain entry to The FA Cup Trophy Tour powered by E.ON, visitors must pre-register FREE OF CHARGE on www.facuptrophytour.co.uk.



The Posh players will sample the experience on their return from the Friday training session and staff at the football club will also be giving it a go! The Football Association and lead FA Cup Sponsor, E.ON, have joined forces to launch this unique nationwide tour of The FA Cup aimed at giving young fans the chance to sample the history, heritage and magic of the world's most famous domestic cup competition.

The Trophy Tour is a fully interactive experience, aimed at children between 7-11 and their families. It lasts approximately 30 minutes and leads visitors through a fun and engaging journey, reliving the most memorable goals, shock giant-killings and classic Cup Final triumphs from the past 128 years.

Taking centre stage is the opportunity for visitors to walk in the footsteps of FA Cup legends, by scoring the winning goal at Wembley in a virtual FA Cup Final, and then create their very own piece of history as they get to hold the actual FA Cup trophy. These magic FA Cup moments will be captured on film and made available for download from www.facuptrophytour.co.uk.



Interspersed with interesting energy information, The Tour's interactive content will also provide an insight into how The FA Cup has evolved on and off the pitch; such as the first FA Cup game staged under floodlights on 14th September 1955, the most energy efficient ways to travel to matches, and how much energy a modern footballer exudes during a match.

Outside, visitors to the tour can get involved in the action by showing off their skills on the Tour's mini football pitch. Those who want some competitive fun can try their hand at 'Power Kick', a football game where the speed of their kick is measured against the professionals.

So there you have it - a very unique opportunity to get your hands on the famous trophy at London Road. And all for FREE - so book your time slot NOW at www.facuptrophytour.co.uk - if you don't book, you can't look!
