KMLC25 - The Kenilworth Cup 2 (Preview Part One - How it came about)

After the fun times 12 months ago at Luton a second Kenilworth Cup game between Kylie Minogue's Love Children and The Top Table Posse was on the cards.

Preston North End's Deepdale stadium had a plastic pitch* so £65 was paid to secure an afternoon slot on Sunday 31 May. The teams were affiliated to the Lancashire Football Association for one day only and a referee secured.

Some rules of playing on the pitch included:

Do Not:

• Use any form of screw-in studs - they will damage the pitch
• Use running shoes with spikes.
• Eat chewing gum whilst playing on the pitch
• Wear muddy footwear on the playing surface
• Climb the crowd control fencing. Use the appropriate gate when retrieving the ball from the tearraces.
• Use Lowthorpe Road as a car park.
• Smoke cigarettes/cigars on the playing surface.

In addition spectators in stiletto heels were not allowed on the playing surface.
