Football Aid 2014 – Play at The City Ground!
How would you like to Live Your Dream of running out at The City Ground alongside a Forest Legend before taking part in a 90 minute match on the hallowed turf?
Well now's your chance as Nottingham Forest FC have once again joined forces with Football Aid - www.footballaid.com - to give fans the opportunity to play at The City Ground in 2014 and raise valuable funds for charity at the same time.
Football Aid offers Forest fans the unique opportunity to experience a matchday in the same way the likes of Kelvin Wilson, Andy Reid, Chris Cohen and co do every other week. Players will gain exclusive access to the pitch and tunnel areas, pull on their own personalised shirt in the official changing rooms, walk down the tunnel to the sound of a cheering crowd and step out on the pitch and represent Forest in a never to be forgotten 90 minutes of football!
To add to that, the matches at The City Ground have also been supported by a host of fantastic Forest legends in recent years, with the likes of Steve Hodge, Craig Armstrong, Frank Wignall, Peter Grummit, John O'Hare, Jason Lee, Des Lyttle (and many more) all lending their extra special support by playing alongside or managing the fans on their big day.

Forest fan Stuart Annable played in 2013 and told Football Aid about his experience:
“Just wanted to say I had a fantastic day Saturday, it really was a realisation of a boyhood dream to play at Forest so a big thank you..!! My son was well looked after as the mascot and again a big thank you for the chance to walk out on the pitch with him. The staff were very good and the day well organised, everything went smoothly and no complaints about how the day was run. Nigel Jemson gave a real good account of himself on the pitch.
Brilliant day, if my legs stop aching I might even sign up for next year.”
