A GENTLER form of football has proved so popular , Halton Council has moved the goalposts to add extra sessions.

Walking Football is a slow paced five-a-side football game for players who have a physical condition which prevents them competing in traditional soccer.

It provides a kickabout, improves walking and dribble skills, improves your health and fitness and enables you to socialise and have fun.

You get a red card if you run!
