When it comes to playing football, it is widely accepted that it is far easier to play on astro turf than it is real grass. It looks and feels like real grass, however it does not get bald patches, won’t turn into a muddy swamp in the wet winter months and it doesn’t harbour glass, stones and other hazards for the footballers to injure themselves on. If your local team doesn’t yet have astro turf installed then perhaps it’s time that you helped them raise the funds in order to be able to afford it? Read on for our top tips on raising money for your local team.
A charity football match
How about putting on a charity football match in order to raise the funds for the astro turf? You could try and find a few local celebrities to come along and commentate, or even play! Ask each supporter to contribute a small amount of money in order to be able to come along and watch the game, and sell homemade cakes, drinks and other treats at half-time in order to really get the money coming in. All proceeds of the match can go towards the cost of a shiny new astro turf pitch.
