How would you like to Live Your Dream of running out at Bloomfield Road alongside a Blackpool Legend before taking part in a 90 minute match on the hallowed turf?
Well now’s your chance as Blackpool FC have once again joined forces with Football Aid – www.footballaid.com – to give fans the opportunity to play at Bloomfield Road in 2014 and raise valuable funds for charity at the same time.
Football Aid offers Blackpool fans the unique opportunity to experience a matchday in the same way the likes of Angel Martinez, Kirk Broadfoot and co do every other week. 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 step out on the pitch and represent The Seasiders in a never to be forgotten 90 minutes of football!
To add to that, the matches at Bloomfield Road have also been supported by a host of fantastic Blackpool legends in recent years, with the likes of Derek Spence, Terry Pashley, John Hills, Jamie Milligan, Ciaran Donnely, Marc Joseph (and many more) all lending their extra special support by playing alongside or managing the fans on their big day.

Blackpool fan Stephen Eckersley (55) played in 2013 and told Football Aid about his experience:
“I lasted 20 minutes at Bloomfield road but every minute will be a memory for the rest of my life. A big thank you to the Football Aid team. The legends were fantastic especially John Hills who kept shouting “Push on Eckers”. Considering I’d never met any of my team before except the goalkeeper, we seemed to all get on pretty well before and during the match. To play at Blackpool FC was a dream come true and Football aid made it happen for me.Thanks very much”
