AN OUTDOOR cinema screening of a classic film is being held a football stadium to kick-off the new season.

Escape to Victory, which features football legends Bobby Moore and Pele, is being shown at Ebbsfleet United’s ground in Stonebridge Road, Northfleet, at 6pm next Wednesday(August 4).

It will be the second outdoor screening organised by Gravesham Council this summer, after The Boat That Rocked was shown in Fort Gardens in Gravesend earlier this month.

A council spokeswoman said: “Escape to Victory, which is about Allied prisoners interned in a German prison camp during the Second World War, is great for families, friends and football fans.”
