Western United is welcoming one and all to Ironbark Fields this Saturday, October 12 for the inaugural Picnic At The Pitch family day.
The free event will kick off at 11am with the men’s squad playing in a intra-club friendly, after which the green and black community will have the chance to meet A-Leagues players, watch on-stage performances and connect with the football community.
There will also be an exclusive membership offer available only to fans that attend the family day, so the club encourages everyone to visit the membership stand.
Kids can enjoy football inflatables, face painting, henna tattoos and the Wyndham Street Surfer Van, while bigger kids can hang out among market stalls, DJs and stage performances from the likes of Pataka Dance Group, Karen Community Dance Group, Good News Luthern College, Club Iteka and Brazilian Drummers.
Fans will be given one of the first opportunities to view the club’s inner sanctum with behind-the-scenes tours of Ironbark, venturing into the change rooms and tunnels the players walk through every day.
There will be plenty of opportunity to engage with the communities that are the beating heart of football in the west, with a number of junior clubs and Walking Football 4 Health Victoria setting up stalls on the day.
You can also view and pre-order the 2024/25 kits and pick up your latest bits of Western United gear from the merchandise van as well as free giveaways and lots more all throughout the afternoon.
A photo booth and food trucks will ensure happy memories will be captured and bellies won’t leave empty.
