This Christmas, The Football League and npower are calling on fans to ditch the telly and flock to their local League club as part of their Festive Family Football campaign.

In an action packed ten-day period between Boxing Day and January 4, the npower Football League boasts four full fixture programmes – a total of 144 matches – providing families with the perfect chance to get together and enjoy competitive football in a friendly, safe environment.

And with the big Boxing Day games traditionally the best attended match of the year – drawing 400,000 fans through the turnstiles in 2009 – fans are guaranteed a great atmosphere throughout the Christmas football feast.

Gavin Megaw, Director of Marketing and Communications at The Football League, said: “Attending npower Football League games this Christmas will provide families with the perfect opportunity to support their clubs and spend some quality time together watching quality football.

“I would encourage any fans looking for a break from turkey and Christmas repeats to head along to their local League club and show them your support.”

Fans are being reminded they can switch to npower and get a £45 voucher to spend in any npower Football League club shop. Visit www.npower.com/footballsaver for more information.

And, in just 50 words, The Football League wants to hear from fans explaining why watching football during the Christmas period is so special – with the best bagging four tickets to February’s Carling Cup Final.

Five runners up will receive a copy of one of this year’s most talked-about games, EA Sports’ Fifa 11.

Entries should be sent to [email protected] by 5pm on Tuesday 4 January.
