Charity Football Match : 16th May @ Elland Road (Leeds United's Ground) I've just received some information about this match and it sounds as though it's going to be a fairly "big one". Apparently it's being organised by Justine from Big Brother 4 and is in aid of Cancer Research. Other celebrities lined up for the match at the moment are other BB4 contestants, some contestants from the Fame Academy series (Alistair Griffin "Bring It On" being one of them, and Audley & Nick who were the first two to leave FA2) and of course, our stars from Emmerdale. If I hear of any other "stars" playing, I'll post it here!  |

Tickets are available online through "Click It To Ticket". Or available through the ticket office on: 0845 1211992.
I'll put the online link below. It's the Elland Road online booking system but currently says that family packages aren't available through online booking. It may be better to phone for tickets.

There's an article about this event in the Leeds Yorkshire Evening paper tonight which confirms Liberty X along with Phixx, Clea and VS - groups and celebrities seem to be added each day!!!!!  Haven't heard anything about Emmerdale cast yet but they'll probably wait until they know filming schedules. For more information check out www.soccer-six.com. It also says in the paper that tickets for the event can be bought from the Soccer Six Ticket Hotline on 0870 100 0000 or the Leeds Ticketline on 0113 244 6677. These numbers are different to the one in the above post but I'm sure they're all right! |

From Leeds today
Soap star clash
BY ANDREW HUTCHINSON
SOAP stars at Emmerdale and Hollyoaks are set to clash at Elland Road this weekend for a charity football tournament.
The celebrities will don their boots for the Soccer Six tournament which kicks off on Sunday. They will be joined on the Leeds United turf by chart-topping groups Liberty X and Blazin Squad, as well as pop newcomers Phixx, Clea and VS.
The event, now in its 10th year, gives youngsters a chance to get close and personal to their favourite stars.
It also aims to raise thousands of pounds for the Princes' Trust and Give A Child A Chance charity.
The Emmerdale line up has already been confirmed and will include James Hooton (Sam Dingle), Anthony Lewis (Marc Reynolds), Kelvin Fletcher (Andy Sugden) and Glenn Lamont (Richie Carter).
They will be locking horns against a Hollyoaks team featuring Nick Pickard (Tony Hutchinson), Chris Fountain (Justin Burton) and Guy Burnet (Dan Hunter).
Emmerdale team captain is Ben Freeman who plays Scott Windsor in the soap.
He told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "We are looking forward to battling it out at Elland Road this Sunday. It's great to be able to raise money for such good causes by doing something you love.
"The Emmerdale team play as often as we can for charity and when we were invited to play in this tournament to support The Prince's Trust and Give a Child a Chance, we couldn't turn down the opportunity."
He added: "Hopefully there will be a good crowd at the stadium to watch us win!"
Tickets for the Leeds event can be bought from the Soccer Six ticket hotline on 0870 100 0000.
