Here at Friends of Pakati we are gearing up for our stall at the forthcoming Scunthorpe United FC Community Day, on Saturday 14th March at the Attis Arena/Glanford Park.
The event is running before the match between the Iron and Altrincham FC which kicks off at 5.30pm. Officially the stalls should be set up by 1.30pm, in time for a 2pm start, with stalls likely to be down by 5pm or earlier.
Here are 2 earlier posts regarding our involvement on previous events at the club: https://friendsofpakati.com/2026/02/21/community-day-come-visit-our-stall/ and https://friendsofpakati.com/2026/02/27/friends-of-pakati-joins-the-iron-hour-podcast-again/
Already we have a number of things being planned for the day, not least of which is going to be an online auction of the (authenticated) boxing glove signed by Frank Bruno, the former Heavyweight boxing champion, as pictured above, being handed over to me by James Moody, General Manager of Scunthorpe United.
We also have the Scunthorpe United FC shirt, recently signed by the 2025/26 squad, including players newly added to the team. It was donated to us by Iron fan Ryan Middleton, handed over to me in the Iron Bar before the game against Solihull Moors just last Saturday.
We will be having both a raffle with several prizes, and a tombola with many more items to win.
Here are some of the items up for grabs on the 14th March!
Just this week I was informed that a voucher for a hairdressing appointment is also coming our way as a prize!
Also this week, I have had an incredible offer from an Iron fan I know well – he has promised to match whatever we raise on the day, up to a total of £500!!! Amazing generosity, something I am humbled and it is why I am so proud to be associated with the club and its supporters – THANK YOU SO MUCH👏👏👏
I am sure there will be several more items to follow before the event starts, so bring yourselves, your family, your friends, and your money to our stall, to buy raffle tickets, have a go at the tombola, donate funds or buy some merchandise from us on the day!
