Fleetwood Town and Fleetwood Town Community Trust have combined to give 1000 local children t-shirts and match tickets in time for Christmas.
The scheme, generously sponsored by Miami Football Trips and Fleetwood Town Community Trust, will see the Trust’s staff visit numerous schools in the North Fylde area to encourage sporting activity, and for them to get behind their local team with a game at Highbury Stadium.
As well as a Town branded shirt, students will receive one adult and one children’s complimentary ticket for a Sky Bet League One game at Highbury Stadium in a bid to encourage the Cod Army fans of the future.
Fleetwood Town’s Community Trust CEO Matt Hilton, Said: “The idea of giving the children a shirt is fantastic and it gives them an identity.
"I want it to inspire young people to take pride in their home town club by feeling part of the borough and supporting their local team”.
