Free at Alton Towers for 'Rob Greens'

Namesakes of Rob Green may have had a tough ride this week but they've been offered sympathy by Alton Towers, who will be giving free entry to those that share his name.

The Staffordshire theme park will be opening the gates to the first 100 people tomorrow who can prove their alliance with the much-maligned England goalkeeper and show their support for all the Robert Greens out there.

Identity must be proved with a driving license or passport, although presumably that won't be a problem as there can't be too many Rob Green impersonators out there at the moment!

The move has shown some real savvy by the theme park, with 'Alton Towers' trending on social networking site Twitter on Thursday evening.
