What to expect at the SPFL Trust Trophy Final 2024
Written By Jake Gray
The SPFL Trust Trophy Final 2024 between The New Saints and Airdrieonians takes place at the Falkirk Stadium on Sunday 24 March with plenty planned to ensure a memorable day out for supporters of both clubs.
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 speed cage and freestyle football outside the main stand from 2pm. They will also take to the field for a pre-match performance! Check out their social media for a better idea of what to expect
Face painting and balloon artistry
Inside the concourse, we will have face painters and balloon artists on hand to paint some TNS, Airdrie and SPFL Trust Trophy style art on your face, so you’re fully prepared to cheer on your team. They will also be creating some fantastic balloon art, too!
Trophy legends
Legendary TNS coach Gary Brabin and Airdrie great Willie McGuire 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 Gary and Abi (Airdrie) or Peter (TNS) – 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 and S4C, or online at BBC iPlayer.
