CLOWNS, cheerleaders and Christmas cheer will be entertaining crowds at this Saturday's Weston football match.

The pre-Christmas family day will take place at the Woodspring Stadium in Winterstoke Road.

Gates will open at 2pm and fans will be entertained by the cheerleaders Weston Shooting Stars and singer/songwriter Jamie Lee, following his popular visit for the pre-season match against Bristol City.

There will also be a children's entertainer and Cuthbert the clown will be showing off his balloon-shaping and face painting skills.

Kick off for the game against Fisher Athletic will be at 3pm.

Manager Tony Ricketts said: "We're really trying to get the community involved with the club. We need the good people of Weston to come and support us.

"We are looking at launching a community programme with the schools in the New Year and early details of this will be announced on Saturday."
