Kids Prices Scrapped at Brodsworth
3rd February, 2010
Brodsworth Welfare have reduced their entrance prices in a bid to get more children watching their home matches.
The KoolSport NCEL Premier side's committee have taken the step and scrapped their under 16 admission prices for their first team games at the Welfare Ground Stadium until the end of the season.
A club spokesman said: "Brodsworth have had the aim this season of trying to connect with the local community this season, something which has proved harder than first thought.
"So, in a bid to get more of the younger community down to first team games, we have taken this step and all schools in the local area will be notified to invite their children to our games, free of charge.
"We also hope the increased attendance will create a buzz around the ground during matches, giving our players a much needed boost."
