Morning Blackpool fans! Firstly, I hope that this post is okay by your admin, apologies if it is not, I am just looking for
I am a former player and current first team coach at Eastbourne Borough FC and I have recently been granted a testimonial for 13 years service to the club. 12 of these years were as a player with just under 500 appearances and this year, my 13th year was as part of the coaching team.
Following our first round FA Cup tie earlier this season, Blackpool FC have really kindly donated a squad signed Blackpool shirt for me to raffle, in order to raise funds as part of my testimonial. For this I am genuinely grateful.
With you guys doing so amazingly well and reaching the play-off final, it would be great if a true Blackpool fan were to win the shirt at this time. That is why I am here. I am trying to get the link for the shirt seen by as many Blackpool fans as possible in order to make this happen.
I wouldn’t normally have gone about things this way, but an testimonial at non league level is quite rare and it’s a one time chance to benefit from it. With Covid disrupting everything, I am having to think outside the box as most traditional methods of raising funds for a testimonial are off the table currently.
I have family links to Blackpool, my nan grew up there and was actually a neighbour and childhood friend of the great Sir Stanley Matthews!! As such if I manage to sell a good number of tickets, I’d be happy to donate some of the funds back to your club to be used however the club sees fit. In the grand scheme of things it wouldn’t be much but it’s something.
Anyway, the link is below. If you can help I’d be really grateful and maybe one day our clubs paths will cross again.
Thank you and all the best for the final, all at Eastbourne Borough will be cheering you on.
