Football Aid 2016 – Bid to Play at St Andrews!

How would you like to ‘Live The Dream’ at St Andrews and take part in a truly memorable 90 minute match on the hallowed turf?

Well now’s your chance as Birmingham City have once again joined forces with Football Aid – www.footballaid.com – (who are celebrating 15 years organising charity matches all over the UK!) to provide fans with the unique opportunity to create their very own piece of club history by playing at St Andrews in 2016, while raising valuable funds for charity at the same time.

Football Aid offers Blues fans the unrivalled opportunity to experience a matchday in the same way the likes of Jonathan Spector, Michael Morrison, Clayton Donaldson 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 official playing kit and represent The Blues 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 Kevan Broadhurst, Geoff Horsfield, Jeff Kenna, Dele Adebola, Darren Carter (and many more) all lending their extra special support by playing alongside or managing the fans on their big day.

“What a brilliant night! I’m extremely pleased that I got to play on our hallowed turf, under floodlights, with a brilliant crowd, on a win and all for good causes.

“Thanks to the Football Aid team.”
