Giant zipslide over Pittodrie

Brave Aberdeen fans are being offered the chance to zipslide from the top of Pittodrie’s Richard Donald Stand all the way to the Main Stand at high speed in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. On Sunday 6 September Pittodrie will be hosting this challenging event.

Macmillan Cancer Support have teamed up with Aberdeen Football Club to host the white knuckle event to raise vital funds for local people affected by cancer. The cancer charity is seeking brave individuals to take on the challenge of zipping across the full length of the pitch 60ft in the air.

 

Aberdeen player Chris Maguire thinks the zipslide is a brilliant way of raising money for such a good cause. ‘The zipslide is going to be a fantastic event and a great way to raise funds for the vital work that Macmillan do, I think all Don’s fans should take part as it will be a great experience for them.’

 

All money raised will be used to support people affected by cancer. Macmillan provide medical, practical, financial and emotional support for cancer patients and their families.

 

The charity suggests a minimum sponsorship of £100 to be raised by each participant and there are prizes for the highest sponsorship including high street vouchers and signed AFC goodies.

Can't we hang McGhee from it?

Any chance of doing this during a game so we can boot Foster or Young at high speed?

Zipslides are easy.
