Messages of support

Fans urged to back teams ahead of Carling Cup Final

Wembley Way is to be turned into a giant message board for fans heading to Sunday's Carling Cup Final. Carling is giving Aston Villa and Manchester United supporters the chance to cover the iconic Bobby Moore Bridge in messages of support for both sides - and raise cash for Cancer Research UK at the same time. The sponsor has also handed over a third of its pitch-side advertising for fans to create their own personalised banners at the final. Supporters can submit their messages and banners at www.carling.com/carlingcup/final with the best 100 of each featured outside and inside Wembley on Sunday. To encourage fans to get involved, the sponsor has pledged to give a £1 donation to the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK for every new banner design or message submitted. In an added twist, the names of 100 lucky supporters will be celebrated on advertising boards around the stadium at the very moment the winning captain holds the historic trophy aloft. Supporters will even be asked to choose some of the music on the day - a shortlist of songs will be posted at the Carling website and the tune which receives the most votes will be featured in the post-match celebrations.
