Grass Roots Football LIVE is here!
The doors are about to open for this year’s Grass Roots Football LIVE - a weekend of football indulgence. This year's line-up is the strongest in the event's five-year history and top of the bill on Saturday and Sunday will be Ian Holloway, fresh from his stunning season at the Premier League’s newest club, Blackpool.
The show provides a cracking day out for all visitors and amongst all the fun elements are a number of seminars that focus on the future of the grass roots game - something that was very much on the minds of the organisers when they released a brand new survey into the state of the game at grass roots level.

Graham Poll on the spot
Refereeing decisions will be under the microscope more than ever over the coming weeks, but the World Cup doesn't get the monopoly on controversy. Football at any level leads to debate, with referees so often at the centre.
Lucky that we've got one of the best officials of the last decade, Graham Poll, to help us out. If you have a question on any refereeing decision, email it to grahampoll@clubwebsite.co.uk and you could win a signed copy of Graham's book on World Cup controversies - Geoff Hurst & the Hand of God.

Win a copy of 'One Night in Turin' on DVD
It's been twenty years since defeat on penalties - a new experience back then - meant heartbreak for Bobby Robson and his team at Italia 90, but Gazza's tears heralded the start of a new love affair with the game for football fans in England.
With a valiant semi-final defeat ending their hopes, it's easy to forget how England were written off in the early stages of the tournament before turning things around not only for themselves but also for domestic football as a whole.
'One Night in Turin' lets you relive the whole thing from the jeers to the cheers to the semi-final tears. The film is out now on DVD and Blu Ray but we can help you beat the queues as we're giving away five copies in our latest competition.

Club Website monthly round-up
It's been a busy old month at Club Website HQ. While much of the amateur football world takes a well-deserved break and looks forward to the start of the World Cup, we've been as busy as ever working on making your club and league websites even better. No rest for the wicked!
In our news & updates section we asked if you could meet Robbie Williams' challenge to 'Keep it Up for Soccer Aid' and raise money for UNICEF while you're at it, whilst we also brought you news of the first ever UEFA Grassroots Day which took place across Scotland on 29 May.
You might also have seen our preview of the programme of events at Grass Roots Football LIVE, which takes place at Birmingham's NEC this weekend.
Club Website will be there and, following the success of our Facilities Tour, we want to find out what crusade you'd like us to take up on your behalf next season. So come and pay us a visit on Stand 668 - it will be great to see you!
