Football for Heroes Week

Posted on: Fri 12 Mar 2010

Shrewsbury Town's game with league leaders Rochdale is the clubs designated game of the Football Leagues Football for Heroes week.

The match ball for the game will be dropped off by a helicopter from RAF Shawbury and at half-time there will be an Iron Man contest between personnel from RAF Shawbury.

Over the season the club have welcomed serviceman and woman from local bases to many of the games at the Prostar and tomorrow there will be a number of personnel in attendance who have returned from active duty.

Town's general manager Jon Harris has been helping to plan tomorrow's game and is hoping that everyone enjoys it: "The club is proud to back Help for Heroes and over the season we have done all we can to help promote this excellent charity.

"Tomorrow is our chance to put that little bit extra on to make it a special day for everyone at the Prostar.

"We held a dry run on Thursday with the squirrel helicopter coming over from RAF Shawbury and it was an amazing thing to see.

"I hope everyone who comes to the game tomorrow will enjoy what we have put on and will have a good day out."

The Football League has this season backed Help for Heroes the charity that helps rehabilitate military personnel wounded whilst serving their country
