Great news and hopefully the players are honoured by it.So the 4 players we will be sponsoring are - The Viking, Lubala, Gabriel and Sarkic. I think there may be a small amount left over to donate to charity too. I will contact the club this morning.
Is everyone happy with donating the signed shirts etc, to these 4 causes?
Trinity Hospice
Parky Fund
Armfield Club
Get Vocal
They can then do with them what they wish (raffle, sell on e bay etc).

It appears to come under Public Health BlackpoolQuick update. I've contacted the Parky Fund and Trinity to see if they would have any objections to us sponsoring a player in their name. I cannot find any contact details for Get Vocal. Anyone any ideas? I notice that the BFC community Trust are doing a lot of work with mental health so perhaps this is an alternative?
I dont do twitter pal. I've e mailed them.You could send a tweet to Parky Fund
There is a contact form on the Public Heath Blackpool page here (Get Vocal):I dont do twitter pal. I've e mailed them.

Have you tried contacting the SLO?? He might be able to help. I don’t know what he actually does but it’s worth a punt.Quick update.

Cheers guys. I think its all in hand now. Just waiting for invoice from club and confirmations from charities.
No need Sir, but thanks for the offer.Gareth, you a modest star , thank you for enabling the tangerine family to do some good. Buy ya a pint when we're back
This is a magnificent effort on your part , your effort has been superbly backed by the Fans - but the initiative and effort has been solely down to you - Superb GJJW !!!! well doneNo need Sir, but thanks for the offer.
I don’t do twitter eitherGJJW, you and I must be the only ones on here who don't do 'twitter' etc.
I watched the Social Dilemma at the weekend. Thinking of deleting all my accounts on all platforms tbh. A very sobering view on the influence the likes of Facebook have.I don’t do twitter either
The club sponsor the Community Trust, let us as fans go a different route Brian House gets my voteOther option is the Blackpool FC Community Trust. Let me know thoughts guys.
So, the old adage is wrong, beggars can be choosers.Hi Guys. Quick update. Get Vocal have declined our offer to sponsor a player on their behalf. Something to do with how they are funded. Any thoughts on which charity we should approach next? How about Brian House?
I think it's to do with the way they are funded pal. They were very nice in rejecting us!So, the old adage is wrong, beggars can be choosers.
