It may not be the same as meeting Santa Claus but young fans of Brentford FC can still tell their football heroes what they would like for Christmas - promotion from the Championship no doubt!

The club’s Community Sports Trust is hosting its annual Meet The Players event on Monday December 22 at Goals Soccer Centre, in Osterley.

Everyone from super striker Andre Gray to defensive rock Harlee Dean should be available on the day to sign autographs and pose for pictures.

They will even answer your questions and take to the pitches themselves for a bit of 5-a-side action.

The cost for the event is £30 per child (which includes the Eventbrite booking fee)

A 10% discount is available to Brentford FC CST E-newsletter subscribers and Junior Bees Supporters Club Members.

The CST is also holding an extended one-day soccer school at Chiswick School on Tuesday December 23.

It will run from 10am to 4pm (extended by 1 hour) and will feature all our usual soccer skills, drills and small-sided games.

To celebrate the festive season it will also be delivering some fun and festive multi-sports activities and games.

Both events are open to boys and girls aged five to 12 years and cater for all abilities.

Players attending must bring shin pads.

Due to health, safety and legal reasons anyone without shin pads will not be allowed to play in the small-sided games.

There can be no exceptions to this rule.
