Peterborough United have been awarded ‘The Football League Family Excellence Award` for the 2013/14 season.
Posh aren`t the only club to be awarded in this way; a total of 47 clubs have received the accolade for 2014!
An independent assessment using real families that have been commissioned by The Football League, at all 72 League clubs, during the 2013/14 season decided who the recipients should be.
Seven clubs received the award for the seventh year running. Doncaster Rovers, Huddersfield Town, Ipswich Town, Milton Keynes Dons, Shrewsbury Town, Tranmere Rovers and Yeovil Town were the clubs achieving this feat while two clubs have been awarded the accolade for the first time – Blackburn Rovers and Port Vale.
The Award, created in 2007, recognises the outstanding experience provided by clubs for young fans and families as part of a scheme that won the Gold Award at the European Professional Football Leagues` Best Practice Awards, earlier this season.
In announcing the successful clubs, Football League Chief Executive, Shaun Harvey, said: “The Football League Family Excellence Award provides clubs with a benchmark in their efforts to attract families through their gates.
“It is hugely encouraging to see so many clubs receiving the accolade, demonstrating The Football League`s commitment to securing the next generation of fans.”
