Interactive programme helps pick Player of the Month

9 Oct 2018 By James Gordon

Frickley Athletic are pioneering an interactive feature in their matchday programme to decide their Bowland Brewery Player of the Month this season.

The EVO-STIK East Division side decide on their Player of the Month based on the votes they receive in a unique way.

The augmented reality feature in the programme allows fans to vote for their Man of the Match using a smartphone and an app, with all votes during the month contributing to the final award.

Their winner for September, receiving the award and a case of Bowland ale, is Tyler Walton.

Frickley's Michael Johnson said: "We are doing this to recognise consistently high performance throughout the month."

The interactive programme idea is the brainchild of Chris Medwell, part of the club's media team.
