Supporter Information
The information below has been provided by The SPFL Trust.
Pre-match kids activity
We are delighted to be welcoming Pitch Parade, a fan-zone event company who will be putting on freestyle performances and hosting Football Darts, a football panna cage and teqbal outside the main stand from 2.30pm. Check out their social media for a better idea of what to expect
We will also have a DJ in the fan-zone pre-match to create a buzz ahead of kick-off.
Green Football Weekend
We are asking fans of both Queen’s Park and Livingston to donate their old kits as part of Green Football Weekend. We will have kit collection bins outside the main reception, in the pre-match fan-zone area. Come along and drop your kit off, so they can be used by someone who needs them!
Face painting and balloon artistry
Inside the concourse, we will have face painters and balloon artists on hand to paint some Queen’s Park style art on your face free of charge, so you’re fully prepared to cheer on the team. They will also be creating some fantastic balloon art, too!
Trophy legends
Legendary Livi Challenge Cup winners Keaghan Jacobs and Darren Jamieson and Queen’s Park great Tony Quinn will parade the trophy to their sets of supporters pre-match, building the atmosphere as both teams look to take home the cup.
Player escorts
Every player – and the referee with his own ball carrier – will be accompanied for the big match walk out after winners were selected from a lot of entries.
On the pitch experience
We’ll also welcome 30 children from both clubs to take part in a series of small sided games on the pitch – make sure you give them a shout on their special day!
Give the Glory
At full time a supporter – either Freddie (Livingston) or Yusuf (Queen’s Park) – will present the trophy to the winning team. We’re sure this will be a very special moment for the winner.
Signed shirt raffle
A lucky fan from each team will win a signed shirt from their heroes – an extra special prize to mark a great occasion!
If you cannot make it to the game, then you can watch the action unfold LIVE on BBC ALBA or online at BBC iPlayer.
