Kick It Out host interactive session before Gills game.
Colchester United welcomed representatives from Kick It Out to Saturday's game in this year's dedicated game to the long running campaign.
The Kick It Out team took an interactive session with pupils from St Gregory Primary before the match, in our first 'Eddie's Nest Takeover' of the season.
The children enjoyed an hour long session as they learned about racism in football and Kick It Out's efforts to eradicate it from the game.
They were then able to go and watch the game, before meeting the players after the match!
