Alan Halsall, who plays Coronation Street's Tyrone Dobbs, will be the guest of honour at this year’s Co-operative Grand Final and will present the trophy to the ‘Fan of the Year.’ This season The Co-operative, official partner of the Rugby Football League and title sponsor of the Co-operative Championships, has been challenging rugby fans across the country to nominate the sport’s most fanatic followers in order to win the 2009 ‘Fan of the Year’ award.

Alan said: "This means a lot to me. I have been following the action this year and I have been so impressed by the skill and speed of the matches across the league. From what I’ve seen, there are so many people who could potentially win Fan of the Year; the fans are so dedicated.”

Fans can send in their nominations for the Co-operative fan of the year with as much detail as possible via email to fanoftheyear@generatesponsorship.com. The closing date for nominations is MONDAY 28TH SEPTEMBER..
