My story

Thought your dreams of playing football in a proper professional ground had passed you by? Well think again! EA & Future bring you the chance to live the dream.

May 18th @ Swindon Town FC a team of Games Industry Media will challenge a team of Games Industry players to challenge see who wins bragging rights on this field of dreams. 

90 minutes, squads of 16 with rolling subs (it's a big pitch) and for miss-hit shots / passes, there are no ballboys!

£35 is your cost of entry - that, your football boots, deep heat and shin-pads are all you require. Linesmen to miss offsides and Refs to book you for diving are all supplied.

Swindon Town FC: The County Ground, County Road, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN1 2ED
