Tommy Hutchison and his Football In The Community team have been busy visiting local primary schools issuing free tickets to the Colchester United home game on Saturday, January 12th.

The tickets allow under-11s to watch the game free when accompanied by an adult, who pay £10.

A limited allocation of Fans Of The Future tickets are also available to supporters via the club ticket office (0871 222 66 66) on a first-come, first-served basis in advance only.

Football In The Community officer Tommy Hutchison says: "The scheme was very popular with the kids when we ran it last season and we are sure that it will prove to be again this season.

"It is a fantastic way to introduce under-11s to live football and we hope all those youngsters taking part will be inspired to return to Ashton Gate again in the future."

Those taking part in the offer will be seated in Blocks G and H of the Wedlock Stand. Adults can be accompanied by up to three under-16s.

Season ticket holders wishing to transfer their seat should contact the ticket office by close of business on Friday 11th January.

Under-11s are defined as being in Year Six or below at school.
