Was just thinking of a good way to help the people of Ukraine, if we all brought an item or two ie Liquid suspension fluid (calpol) Toothbrushes / paste and shower gel / soap to the match , and we could arrange for a van or the people taking supplies to be on the car park, we could make such a massive difference to the effort ! Any thoughts Seasiders ?

Money is the most effective way and the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal is leading the way - but there will be a bucket collection before the Sheffield United game and there will be a JustGiving option for Blackpool fans to contribute to as well. More details to follow.
