Fans have chance to enjoy FAI Ford Cup games in style this season.

Your team is playing 100 miles away and the supporters’ bus is full?  Big game on at home and you want to bring the kids, but they want their friends to come too and your car just isn’t big enough?

Stop worrying about the logistics – just focus on the footy, with thanks to Ford, proud sponsors of the FAI Cup.

For every round of FAI Ford Cup this year, Ford will come to the rescue of fans around the country, eager to get along to support their club by transporting them to the game of their choice in style.

Maybe you are a Blues fan who would like to make the trip with some of your mates in comfort to the Showgrounds for the 4th round game against Sligo Rovers; or you would like to give your son or daughter a VIP experience ahead of the big home quarter final against Bohemians.

Ford will look after the transport to and from the game by supplying a Ford vehicle and chauffeur, and make sure every fan is fed and watered with a pre match meal. There will be goody bags for every child, and one child on the trip will have the unique opportunity to deliver the match ball onto the pitch before kick-off.

“I go to watch our local club Cork City regularly and the atmosphere is always better at Turners Cross when there is a big away support there,” said Ford Ireland Managing Director Eddie Murphy. “But I also know it can be hard to get organised to bring a group to an away game and also for families going to support their local clubs as well, we hope that this initiative will make it easier for at least some fans this year.”

So whether you want to focus on your friends and get a gang to an away game, or focus on your family for your team’s big home tie, just let Ford take care of all the logistics, so you can just focus on the Football.

All fans have to do is email their name and address to fordfootball@WHPR.ie with the selected FAI Ford Cup fixture they wish to attend; whether they want to travel with their family to a home game or group of friends to an away game, and a reason why they should be brought to the game by Ford.

At least two winners will be selected for every round in this year’s FAI Ford Cup.
