"Play It Square" - All The Way To The Play-Off Final
'Play It Square' is an exciting half-time keepie uppie challenge for fans of all Blue Square Premier, North and South clubs.
You could be selected to show your skills during half-time and kick your way to a huge £100,000 prize. During the first round heats each fan will have three attempts to do as many "keepie uppies" as possible with the unique Blue Square Ball.
You'll have a chance to be selected at home games right up until the end of the season to take part in the first round. Winners at each match during the first round will scoop a £25 free bet with sponsors Blue Square.
At the end of the season the person with the highest score at your club will win a pair of season tickets to their club for the entire 2008/09 season and will go through to the second round and compete with the top scorer at all other Blue Square clubs.
The five fans with the highest second round scores will then compete on the pitch at the Blue Square Premier Play-Off Final at Wembley and kick for £100,000 in front of the packed stands and a live TV audience.
Have you got what it takes to be a half-time hotshot and win with Blue Square?
This is a spectacular opportunity to win a substantial amount of money - plus the club stands to win £20,000 should the overall Blue Square winner come from the U's. One winners from each of the Blue Square teams will be up against each other, so our representative stands a one in 68 chance of scooping the top prize.
The only stipulation for entries is that entrants must be over 18 and must not have played in professional or semi-professional football.
We are looking for four fans to participate at half time in each of our remaining games, with the winner being announced at the end of the season. If you feel that you have what it takes to be the Keepie Uppie king or queen of Cambridge United, please contact Wayne Purser on wayne.purser@cambridge-united.co.uk
Blyth Spartans currently top the leader board with a fantastic score of 78 keepie uppies by Steph Ord. Rushden & Diamonds are in second place with a top score of 32 by James Mabbutt, closely followed by Weston Super Mare with a top score of 31 by Stefan Helm. However, it doesn't matter if your top score does not beat these because there will be a representative from every club in the play-off at the end of the season.
Did you know?
In 1995 - Ukrainian Nikolai Kutsenko juggled a regulation matchball for 24 hours and 30 minutes, using his feet, legs and head - without the ball touching the ground.
The female world record for keepie uppies with a regualation matchball is 55,187 times (9 hours and 6 minutes) by Milene Domingues from Brazil in 1997.
There have been numerous wacky record attempts at keepie uppies including running marathons whilst juggling the ball and keepie uppies whilst climbing a ladder - but the one that really takes the biscuit is Kosovan Agim Agushi who drove over 5 miles whilst heading a ball through the sunroof of his car in 2004!
