Football Aid 2013 – Play at Villa Park!

[FootballAidMan12]

Aston Villa FC have once again shown magnificent support and joined forces with Football Aid, allowing football fans the opportunity to grace the hallowed turf and play on their Field of Dreams at Villa Park in 2013, while at the same time raising funds for charity.

Our magical event allows Villa supporters to ‘Live the Dream’ in an authentic match day experience. Players will gain exclusive access to the pitch and tunnel areas, pull on their own personalised shirt in the official changing rooms, walk down the tunnel to the sound of a cheering crowd and ultimately to step out on the hallowed turf and represent their club in a never to be forgotten 90 minutes of football.

The matches have also been supported by a host of Villa legends, with the likes of Tony Daley, Shaun Teale, Tony Morley, Chris Nicholl and many more all lending their valuable support in recent years, by playing alongside or managing the supporters in the hugely enjoyable matches at Villa Park.

Securing your position couldn’t be easier, just visit www.footballaid.com and choose your club, then you’ll have two ways to secure your Fixed Price position: Option 1: ‘Buy Now’ - Our quickest and most popular option, or Option 2: ‘Sponsored to Play’ - Pay a non-refundable £100 deposit to secure your position and then simply pay off the remaining balance anytime before 25th January 2013.

So if you're keen to secure your place on your Field of Dreams this season, why not visit www.footballaid.com today to make sure you're part of the team! Alternatively if you’d like any additional information, you can call Football Aid on 0131 220 5999 or email info@footballaid.com.

Football Aid celebrated their 10th anniversary in 2010 and have allowed over 13,090 football fans the chance to “Live the Dream” in more than 501 matches. They are a groundbreaking organisation which generates funds annually by hosting charity football matches at iconic stadiums all over the UK. The unique concept was the brainchild of businessman and Football Aid Chairman Craig Paterson and funds raised from the event will benefit the work of a charitable project nominated by the club, as well as projects nominated by Football Aid’s parent charity Field of Dreams.

You might have thought the final whistle had blown on your chance to secure a position and resigned yourself to watching from the stands......Well fear not, because limited positions in our game at Villa Park have been extended for bidding until Tue the 12th March (3pm Home & 4pm Away), meaning you still have the opportunity to bid to play for Aston Villa this season.
 
So why not visit the www.footballaid.com website today and make your bid to secure a place on your Field of Dreams in 2013!

I'm signed up to jog around purposefully/uselessly (delete according to perspective) in centre mid and looking forward to it enormously - even got an email today from the Football Aid folks asking what name I wanted on the back of my shirt.

[Legion]

You'll love it.

[Russ aka Big Nose]

You'll love it.

Yep. And I expect to bore friends and family about it for many years to come.

I'm a little surprised, but pleased, that my two teenage lads are happy to spend all of a Saturday (I'm now in Bristol rather than Brum) coming to watch. Cheers.
