In addition, there will be plenty of attractions available in the FanZone including inflatables, Go Ape - Segways, tennis with the Elena Baltacha Foundation, golf with Seckford Golf Club, sand arts, face painting, the opportunity to ‘drive’ a fire engine and a double decker bus and more.""

Bluey and Crazee will take part in the mascot race on the main pitch and there will be plenty of food and refreshments available.

"It’s always a popular day at the club and the chance for supporters to come down and meet the players and also take part in the fun activities,” Town MD Ian Milne told the official website.
