New half-time challenge for 2023/24 season

A new half-time challenge will be introduced for the 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship season.

Each league game the club will pick two fans to play, who will get one attempt each to try and pass the ball as close to the centre spot as possible from the halfway line touchline. The distance away from the centre circle will then be measured, and we will keep a running leaderboard over the course of the season.

At the final league game, the top three overall on the leaderboard will return to participate in the grand final, where each participant will take part again. Whoever is closest to the centre spot in the grand final will take home a cash prize of £1,000.

To apply, fans should email supporters@pafc.co.uk with the subject header “Centre Circle Challenge”, leaving a contact telephone number and detailing their seat location/number for the match, no later than 9am the day prior to the date of the fixture.

Two supporters will then be selected at random to play, the day before the match. Those selected will then be contacted by email with further information. Fans should check their inboxes the day before the game to avoid missing out.

Supporters will be given a deadline to confirm and if we don’t hear by this time, we will randomly select another player to take part.

Supporters must hold a valid match ticket for the game they are applying to in order to be eligible, and must be 18+.
