Football Aid offers The Blues fans the unique opportunity to experience a matchday in the same way the likes of Darren Randolph, Lee Novak, Paul Caddis and co do every other week. As a player you’ll get the chance to pull on your very own exclusive personalised Birmingham City replica shirt in the official changing rooms, experience the thrill of walking down the tunnel to the sound of a cheering crowd and step out onto the hallowed turf proudly sporting your full kit and represent your team in a never to be forgotten 90 minutes of football!



To add to that, the matches at St. Andrews have also been supported by a host of fantastic Blues legends in recent years, with the likes of Ian Atkins, Ian Clarkson, Martin O’Connor, Jeff Kenna, Dean Holtham, Nicky Eaden, Kevin Francis, Joe Gallagher, Noel Blake, Graham Hyde, Jerry Gill, Kevan Broadhurst, Geoff Horsfield, Robert Hopkins, Dele Adebola (and many more) all lending their extra special support by playing alongside or managing the fans on their big day.

Securing your position couldn’t be easier, just visit www.footballaid.com and choose the Birmingham City game and then you’ll have two Fixed Price options: Option 1: Buy Now – Book your place with a one off payment, or Option 2: Sponsored to Play – Pay a non-refundable £100 deposit for your place, then pay the remaining balance anytime before Fri 30th Jan 2015.

Birmingham City fan David King took part in 2014 and told Football Aid about his experience after the event:

“I would like to say it was an amazing experience, from the moment I arrived at the ground, the Football Aid staff were very enthusiastic about the evening and they made the event roll along without a hitch. I have supported Birmingham City from when my late Father first took me to the ground in the early 1970’s. I would never have dreamed then that one day I would be running out of the tunnel alongside former players?My friends and family really enjoyed the event and if my old bones allow it I might turn out again next year.”
