Westway's great facilities mean we often get featured on TV and in the media but it was our street-level links that Electronic Arts were more interested in when scouring the globe for venues to be featured in recent games launch FIFAStreet2.
So while most media events at Westway take place on our six third generation artificial grass pitches, its the tarmac and concrete of Pitch 7, our netball court and our only part-time tarmac 5-a-side pitch, just outside the front of the Sports Centre, which you'll see featured in the new video game - alongside venues in Amsterdam, Cameroon, Barra Beach Brazil, Mexico City, Berlin, Marseille, Rome and New York.

Meanwhile you'll also have seen Thierry Henry playing at Westway recently. Yes, you heard me right, I did say Thierry Henry ...though its on TV you'll see him at Westway THIS WEEK, as it was back in January when the Thierry Henry film Honor for Nike's Joga Bonito (or play beautiful) campaign was filmed at Westway.
The film featuring Thierry demonstrating his skills and outwitting a team of other players, after a few tips from Eric Cantona, was shot on our now globally famous Pitch 7 - yes that old tarmac netball court featured in FIFAStreet2 again! Though I'm told that they let Thierry practice a bit on the far superior, if less street, Tigerturf pitches as well!
