Football Aid returns to the City of Manchester Stadium

It’s
that time of year again: the weather is wetter, money is minimal and
New Year’s resolutions are already redundant. But fear not: Football
Aid are here to brighten up those January blues with the return of the
spectacular annual event, the unique and fantastic Football Aid January
Auction, with the chance to play on the hallowed turf at the City of
Manchester Stadium!

Together with the support of Manchester City,
Football Aid are looking to raise even more money for a variety of
charitable causes. The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity gives City fans
the thrill of a complete matchday experience, including pulling on a
personalised shirt in the changing rooms, walking down the tunnel to
the sound of a cheering crowd and ultimately stepping out onto their
Field of Dreams. A host of club legends including Andy Hinchcliffe, Ian
Brightwell and Peter Barnes have all supported Football Aid in previous
years, either managing or playing alongside football fans on our own
pitch.

The 2009 Football Aid Auction at www.footballaid.com
is already shaping up to be extremely exciting, with the new Maximum
Bid and Buy Now options already proving very popular with bidders.
Bidding positions will continue to close at regular intervals
throughout the bidding period with the first position closing on the
3rd February and the last available positions closing on the 4th March.

With
bidding starting from just £170 this year, there really is no better
time to grab yourself the ultimate January bargain. So whether you are
a dynamic defender, a midfield magician or fantastic up-front, there
are positions to suit every player who has ever dreamed of playing
attThe City of Manchester Stadium.

All funds raised from the events
are distributed through Football Aid's parent charity Field of Dreams
and split between diabetes research programmes, and charities nominated
by participating clubs. Football Aid has so far awarded over £1.3M to
charitable causes since the company was set up in 2000, and has enabled
nearly 10,000 football fans to pull on their favourite club’s colours
and grace the hallowed turf of the club they support.
