BWFC's Family Fun Day will be on Sunday 7th August.

There's something for everybody, the highlights being able to watch the players train on the Reebok pitch and the opportunity to get some autographs!

All sorts will be going on throughout the day and the BWSA will be involved. Come and see us in the Premier Suite and get a half price membership, only £5 on the day.

If you sign up for a membership or take part in some of our games you'll be in with a chance to win some money can't buy prizes.

Loads of unhappy people at being shut out of the player autograph session.

Hundreds! i dont know whether i was impressed or offended by it - all those people stood there for hours in the pissing rain, just for the scrawl of some footballer who probably didnt even look up at them as he did it!?

missed the training session tho - what was that like?

Not too sure to be honest, possibly 400/500 people. Think they started the session late (should have started at 12:30 but didn't get going until 1). They closed the doors at quarter past 2.

Tbf that's a long signing it wasnowhere near as busy as it sounds last year! Probably underestimated the amount of people and ran out of time

Don't think the queue was as big last year either.

I'm firmly of the opinion that if you're professional footballers then there shouldn't be a time limit on autograph signing. Simply schedule the signing to be the day's final activity and let it run on until completed.

It was quite good, yes. Maybe better to do it when there is no game/training session going on as you couldn't walk pitch side or go into the changing room.
