Latest Football Industry Campaigns
This season, the Enjoy the Match campaign is being supported by each of the Football League’s 72 clubs.
Across the country, clubs are promoting a family-friendly atmosphere at games and establishing family areas for supporters, free from bad language and anti-social behaviour.
League clubs have been hosting special Enjoy the Match games throughout the season, where kids and families can take part in a range of special activities.
At Reading, for instance, children practiced skills and tricks with Freestyle World Champion Abbas Faird.
The Royals’ supporters also got discounted meals on the concourse, and children paraded a special Enjoy the Match banner prior to kick-off.
And all first-team managers have signed the special Enjoy the Match shirt on behalf of their club.
Burton Albion manager Paul Peschisolido (pictured) signed on behalf of the Brewers.
He said: “It’s always great to see families come along to the Pirelli Stadium.
“The players and I really value the support we receive from the fans and I think it’s important that we should encourage the next generation of Brewers supporters to come to the games.”
Walsall boss Chris Hutchings added: “The Enjoy the Match campaign is an excellent initiative and one in which we are proud to take part.
“It’s an old cliché but the fans are what make football so special and we all have a duty to ensure that supporters have an enjoyable day out.”
Celebrities from the world of sport, music and politics have also pledged their support to the Enjoy the Match campaign.
Alan Shearer, Gary Lineker, rock band Kasabian, and Mayor of London Boris Johnson have all recorded video messages for fans about the campaign.
