I’ve just come home after spending a wonderful two hours in the tour of the National Football Stadium with my two young football mad nephews!! From the minute we arrived it was impressive....and that was just our guide Mark!! We got to see the Heritage Centre and watched a 5 minute video of Northern Irish football which really made us feel proud to be Norn Irish....1958, 1982, 1986 to now all key years and then that David Healey goal that sank the Three Lions in 2005. That was the catalyst that sparked a resurgence in NI soccer and eventually the Stadium. There is so much to see, do and learn on this part of tour. Then it was off to tour the very modern stadium. We got to see the stands, private function rooms, the pitch and the NI changing room. A superb tour, a must for any and all footy fans. A must see if in Belfast!!! Ps didn’t get to taste any pies!!

The guided tour of Windsor Park was well led by our guide who was always able to answer our many questions and give us new insights into the world of football.Our 9 year old grandson accompanied us and he really enjoyed listening to various stories told and especially being able to get involved actively practising penalties and tackling players on inter-active screens. The tour was well- balanced with time spent both indoors and outdoors. We came away feeling we had learnt a lot about the stadium, its history and the on going life of football at Windsor. To be recommended!
