Football Aid 2012 – Play at the Reebok Stadium!

[FootballAidMan]

Bolton Wanderers 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 The Reebok Stadium in 2012, while at the same time raising funds for charity.

Our magical event allows Bolton supports 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 Trotters legends, with the likes of Mike Whitlow, Dave Lee, Tony Kelly, Scott Green and many more all lending their valuable support in recent years, by playing alongside or managing the supporters in the hugely enjoyable matches at The Reebok Stadium.

Football Aid celebrated their 10th anniversary in 2010 and have allowed over 12,225 football fans the chance to Live the Dream in more than 460 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.

I'm not sure Mike Whitlow or Scott Green are legends.

Done this before, it's ace. Played in midfield with David Lee.

Would do it again, but it looks like they've put some shíte'uns in.

[FootballAidMan]

Glad to hear you had an enjoyable experience in a Football Aid game Batman. David Lee has been a fantastic supporter of Football aid over the years and we are hoping he will be able to continue his support in 2012.

Would recommend it.

That said, as a regular, how about a discount?

[FootballAidMan]

Unfortunately we are not able to give a discount to anyone even for our regular Football Aid customers. However bidding period for the positions starts in January and you might be able to pick yourself up a bargain!
