Stevenage FC sponsors STS Tyre Pros Hitchin (Paynes Park) are inviting football fans to a free family fun day to meet and have photographs taken with their favourite Stevenage players on Sunday, March 9.

The open day will feature something for everyone.

Visitors can try their skills at the STS Tyre Pros “Through the Tyre” competition, where a selection of great prizes will be awarded to those whose shooting skills are up to the mark.

Or if motor racing is more up their street, children and adults alike will be able to show off their driving skills on world famous Grand Prix circuits in Pirelli’s state-of-the-art F1 simulator.

Those heading down shouldn’t forget to bring their football shirt too, as Stevenage players will be on hand to sign people’s kit.

The team and the Boro’ Bear mascot will be at the centre between 12pm-2pm to thank STS Tyre Pros for their sponsorship of Stevenage this season.

In the run up to the open day Pirelli will also be giving locals the chance to win one of two signed Inter Milan shirts in an exclusive competition. Those wishing to take part can enter online at www.tyrepros.co.uk and entrants can find out who the successful participants are when the winner is announced on the day.

Michael Nolson, manager of STS Tyre Pros Hitchin, said: “We’re really excited that the Stevenage FC team will be hosting our Fun Day.

“It will be a real honour to welcome them to our centre.

“The team here are probably Stevenage’s biggest fans, so there’s no doubt we’ll be joining the queue for a photograph and kit signings too.

“We want to see everyone down to enjoy the fun packed activities and competitions that we have on offer.

“Although it’s been a tough season, we’ll be supporting the boro’ right through to the end of the last game, so come on down to join us! ”

Although one of the nation’s leading tyre retailers, as a company with a local headquarters, STS Tyre Pros has shared a long history with Stevenage FC and both are big supporters of the local community.

To show their support, the centre will be collecting contributions for local charity, the Garden House Hospice who offer care and support to patients with a terminal diagnosis.

STS Tyre Pros Stevenage is open between 12pm–2pm on Sunday and the address is Hitchin, Paynes Park, SG5 1EH.
