Finals days prove to be a success at the home of FTFC
Highbury Stadium continues to be in demand despite the season finishing two weeks ago as the Cod Army finished tenth in League One.The Club have hired out the stadium to local leagues, schools and corporate sectors for playing football tournaments, finals and challenge matches so they can experience playing on an award winning Football League surface.
In the last seven days a number of events have taken place at the stadium which include four Blackpool and Fylde Sunday alliance finals, the Hogan Cup, charity matches and the National Finals for the department of work and pensions.
The Club has also taken bookings from business community sponsors entertaining their customers.
On Monday night, the Club hosted the Fleetwood and Thornton Cleveleys Sports Association Primary Schools Football League.
The finalists have qualified in one of two ways, winning one of the three mini leagues or being the best runner up.
