Exeter City is delighted to be able to extend yet another exciting opportunity for young supporters to go behind the scenes at St James Park!
Yes, the very popular Kids in Charge is back! Last year a record 54 children participated in the event. Could this year be even bigger and better?
Kids in Charge made a successful debut at City’s match against Stevenage back in 2016 and was followed up as City took on Morecambe in 2017. We now have a record TWENTY TWO opportunities available for junior supporters to go behind the scenes at Exeter City’s match against Cheltenham Town on Easter Monday, April 2, 2018.
As in previous years these are genuine, money-cannot-buy opportunities at Exeter City.
The club are delighted with the number of young fans we continue to see coming through the turnstiles at St James Park. The introduction of the Junior Grecians Family Zone on match days, exclusively for families before the match, has seen the Junior Grecian membership quadruple and is heading towards the magic 500 milestone. If you have not visited the family zone with your children why not take the opportunity on your next visit to St James Park.
As part of our Kids in Charge we’re giving our younger fans aged between 6 and 12 the chance to apply for special roles here at SJP.
Most of the opportunities up for grabs will happen on the match day, with other lucky youngsters getting to visit the Cliff Hill Training Ground on Thursday April 5 (during easter holidays) to interview the manager and players as part of the weekly press call!
Last season’s Kids in Charge day received glowing reviews. With parents observing it really is events like this that reinforce Exeter City as a Community Club committed to the family audience. The genuine offer of exciting and rewarding opportunities really does seem to have gone down well and become one of the season’s highlights.
