The offer includes child complimentary tickets, which must be sold with an accompanying half price adult ticket (£11), with one person to be in sole charge of the bookings on behalf of that club.
The Community Trust only have a limited number of tickets for the day and once the allocation has been sold unfortunately no more will be available.
Martin Vose, OACT Community Manager added: “I would like to thank the football club for supporting this initiative, without their involvement it wouldn’t be possible.
“The grassroots day is all about getting junior teams to come down to SportsDirect.com Park and to celebrate grassroots football.
“We would love to see hundreds of children at the fixture all in their team’s kit creating a fantastic atmosphere within the Family & Community section.”
