Four men are taking on the challenge of visiting 92 football clubs in 92 hours and will be visiting Rochdale’s Spotland Ground along the way.

Their journey will see them arrive at the ground on Monday 14 October just before 2.00am.

The team of men aim to visit all Football League Grounds after England’s World Cup qualifier with Montenegro on Friday 11 October at Wembley Stadium. The challenge should see them back in time for the England game against Poland on Tuesday 15 October.

They will all take turns at driving their 2,600 mile route, collecting donations along the way for the charity Help for Heroes.

The team is made up of Darren Young, Mark Burns – both with military experience – and businessmen Simon Cox and Mike Peters.

Bryn Parry, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Help for Heroes, said: “Help for Heroes was launched to raise money to help support our wounded.

“The 92 Plus 1 challenge will see dedicated football fans and supporters of Help for Heroes undertake an epic 2,600 mile drive around the country to raise money for the charity.”

Many football clubs have already pledged their support for the challenge – called
92 Plus 1, with Wembley Stadium being the extra one – and it is hoped more will get on board to help the team reach their goal.

The group welcomes any sponsorship individuals, football clubs or businesses can offer. It is particularly keen to hear from anyone who has a vehicle they could use to get them through their route.
