A FOOTBALL FUNTOGETHER!

London Road Stadium will be hosting a 'Family Football Festival' for all-comers to enjoy at our home clash with Derby County on Saturday 5th November 2011. There will be a host of fun activities taking place on the day catering for all the family - with pre-match competitions and entertainment planned for both on and off the pitch!




ABOUT THE FAMILY FOOTBALL FESTIVAL

The day is all part of The Football League's Family Football Festival, which aims to encourage families to enjoy time together at an exciting Football League game. Running from October to December, the festival sees family activities taking place across participating Football League clubs this autumn.

Siobhan Freeguard, founder of Netmums is an ambassador for the Family Football Festival, and commented: 'Netmums are delighted to be involved with The Family Football Festival - it's an exciting opportunity for families across the country to enjoy a fun day out together at their local League club. It's a great chance for mums to get the family together and enjoy the atmosphere of a League match first hand this autumn.'

A BIT ABOUT FOOTBALL

Football matches last 90 minutes and are played in two halves of 45 minutes each. At the end of the first half there is a 'half-time' break of 15 minutes that will allow you time to go and get a drink or a bite to eat from our refreshment kiosks.

Each team is comprised of 11 players (including 1 goalkeeper) and each team is allowed to make 3 substitutions.

The winner of the match will have 3 points added to their season total. If the match ends in a draw then each team will get 1 point each.
