ABOUT THE FAMILY FOOTBALL FESTIVAL

The day is all part of the The Football League's Family Football Festival, which aims to encourage families to enjoy time together at an exciting Football League game. Running from October to December, the festival sees family activities taking place across participating Football League clubs this autumn.

Siobhan Freeguard, founder of Netmums is an ambassador for the Family Football Festival, and commented: "Netmums are delighted to be involved with The Family Football Festival - it's an exciting opportunity for families across the country to enjoy a fun day out together at their local League club. It's a great chance for mums to get the family together and enjoy the atmosphere of a League match first hand this autumn."
