Every child taking part will be given a prize as a thank you for participating. Fan Engagement Manager Hamilton Mattock said:

“Our Junior Membership has really taken off over the last few months and we’re seeing more and more young supporters come through the doors at The EnviroVent Stadium for the first time. “Superhero Saturday is an opportunity to add another layer of fun to our young supporters’ matchday experience, as well as helping support a fantastic cause. “I’m excited to see our fanbase really embrace this opportunity to support the great work Strata do, a local charity in SNAPS and can’t wait to see the end result on 13th April!”
The club will be welcoming 34 children and their parents from SNAPS on the day. As well as plenty of junior supporters dressed as their favourite superheroes, they club will have Captain Marvel and Spiderman in attendance on the day.

“We are so passionate about being able to make a difference in our communities and it’s a real honour to get the chance to do this with the club, who we know share those same values. "It’s been amazing to watch HTFC and the fanbase develop over the years and I know the SNAPS team are excited about attending and for some this is their first ever experience of a live game. "Please get behind what is a fantastic charity and let’s make it a special day”.
