Ever dreamed of playing at the Coral Windows Stadium? Well this could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for!
‘Play It Like A Pro’ is back for the fourth year running!
Play It Like A Pro gives City fans the exciting opportunity to secure a place on one of two supporter teams who will enjoy the full match-day experience at Valley Parade, including taking part in an extra special match on the home pitch!
The unique game will take place at the Coral Windows Stadium on Monday 11th April 2016, and prove to be a night you will never forget
Not only will fans get the chance to play an actual match on the hallowed turf, supporters who purchase a place on one of the teams will be treated to all the other trimmings that come with being a professional footballer on match-day!
You’ll sit down for your pre-match meal, warm-up on the pitch before the game, get changed in the Valley Parade dressing rooms and come out on the pitch to ‘Take Me Home’, just like Monday Night Live!
After the drama and excitement of playing the game there will be a medal ceremony and post-match awards. The game will also be filmed, meaning all players will receive a DVD of their moment under the floodlights.
All funds raised will go towards the continuous improvement of Bradford City Academy.
