Our chairman Steve Lansdown presents a signed cap to a young supporter attending his or her first match at Ashton Gate. This is done on the pitch at half time and has proved very popular with our young fans and their parents.
Our award winning programme 'Well Red' has its own dedicated pull out section for young supporters. It features cartoons, quizzes, competitions, player interviews, photos and a regular column by top kids TV presenter Sarah-Jane Honeywell (who also hosted our Christmas Party).
