Southport FC will host a family fun day prior to our pre-season friendly against Blackpool at the Merseyrail Community Stadium on 15th July, starting at 12pm midday until 1.45pm.

The event will operate on an “access all areas” basis, with supporters able to take part in a range of activities all around the stadium.

Amongst the activities on offer will be face painting, a bouncy castle, penalty shoot out and keepie up competitions and live music with other events to be confirmed. Supporters will also have the chance to challenge our players or fellow supporters at FIFA17. Samples from our new catering team will also be available.

Fans will also be able to tour the stadium, meet the manager and players with photo opportunities and sample the corporate hospitality on offer for the coming season.

The friendly itself against our visitors from Blackpool kicks off at 3pm. Admission prices for the match are £5 adults, £3 concessions. Under-18’s and Season Ticket holders go free. Visiting Blackpool fans are also welcome to join us at the Fun Day ahead of the game.

Following the game, Directors James Treadwell, Adrian Shandley and Martyn O’Hara will be joined by our management team of Alan Lewer, Mark Wright and John Durnin in the Grandstand Bar to take questions from supporters ahead of the coming season. The event will conclude at 6pm.

Season tickets will also be on sale in the club shop with the early-bird discount now extended until at least 15th July.
