There’s entertainment for the whole family at Good Friday’s bigger and better PPG Canalside Fanzone, sponsored by Perrys Vauxhall.
Come down to the Club’s PPG Canalside Training Ground and start your match day earlier before heading to Town’s match against Preston North End at the John Smith’s Stadium.
The Fanzone kicks off at 11am and young supporters who are fans of the Pixar franchise ‘Cars’ will not want to miss this event, as Lightning McQueen (below) will be making a pit stop at PPG Canalside to meet the Town faithful. As well as Lightning McQueen, there will be a 'Hunt for Mack' treasure hunt.
Once again fans will be able to take a short ride from the Fanzone to the John Smith’s Stadium on the shuttle bus provided by Yorkshire Tiger.
The bus (above) will be making two runs from PPG Canalside to the John Smith’s Stadium both pre and post-match, times confirmed below. Fans will be able to go on the bus for the small cost of £1 each way.

Leaving at 2.10pm and 2.40pm
Post-match departing the John Smith’s Stadium:

For fans wanting to return to PPG Canalside on the shuttle bus, the pickup point will be at the Bus Stop on Bradley Mills Road (opposite Argos).
For the budding footballer, there will be mini goals as well as an inflatable target football game, where the highest goalscorer will receive a signed football from all your favourite Town players!

A variety of other drinks will be available in the outside bar under the marquee, provided by Holme Valley Marquee, so fans can start their match day in the right way!
