Breakdown

For every Salford City home league fixture, Salford City FC Foundation invites guests to experience The Peninsula Stadium through the following initiatives.

Mascots

There are 2 mascots at each home game invited by Salford City FC Foundation, and these will be given to deserving individuals in the community. Each mascot will receive 2 free tickets (one for the mascot and one for a parent/guardian).

Team of the Week

Salford City FC Foundation invite two teams of the week to each home game and each team receives 18 free tickets for the game. These are to be distributed between the players, coaches, and parents as teams see fit. This is a great opportunity as weather providing and at the approval of the ground staff, the teams of the week will get the opportunity to take penalties against Billy the Lion on the pitch. If the weather does not allow, there will be photo opportunities with Billy the Lion at half-time.

Every match day, Salford City FC Foundation and FreeKicks Foundation invites a child aged 11 to 12 to the game to be a mascot, feature in the official programme and receive a free Salford City shirt. Each child is given 4 match tickets as part of this offer to invite family members to the game also.
