I saw this on official website that every home game from now on this season there will be a foodbank collection.
Now this is all well and good
Foodbank is an admirable service for people in genuine need
I have a friend and herself and also her son have serious health issues and recently her main source of income came from her ex husband who now has sadly passed on and she is currently reliant on foodbank and so I do know that its a great charity and well worth contributing to..
But my own personal view if as seems right - this is a PR exercise to show that our club cares about the community - my suggestion would be for all players, football coaching and medical staff contribute percentage of their salaries ie for lowest paid perhaps £1000 and maybe scale up
That would be a great PR statement and also would show others that these people in football today are most grateful for the economic advantages playing this simple game gives them over people who are much less fortunate in life for whatever reason
