Alright lads and lasses.

Last week we had a Ukrainian family move in nearby and my eldest has befriended their son.

He loves his footy and my youngest lad has very kindly donated his season ticket to this young lad so he can experience live footy for the first time.

Obviously the lad has arrived with just the clothes on his back and has very little possessions to speak off, certainly nothing footy related anyway.

Iv dropped Chris Waters an email to see if the club are in a position to donate anything for him that we could collect on the night.

Bar Chris managing to get back in touch with me (it's only 48 hours till the match) does anyone have any ideas on people at the club to contact / places I could contact to get the lad kitted out with footy gear?

Cheers.

I've got a spare U16s season ticket if it can be of any use?

Thanks, great idea. Il drop them a line.

Sorry, it's my youngest who isn't going. My eldest is still coming. 👍

Should have plenty of Dell T-shirts left over

I wonder if ALS would let him pick out a tee shirt/hat from their merch stand? Snap a quick photo for their social media which may lead to other clubs doing similar.

Either way, a lovely gesture from your eldest. Is he unable to make the game? Shame they can’t watch together if they’re becoming good mates.

I’m sure they’ll have plenty of Dell T-Shirts spare 😂

Can he play on the left wing, and put in some decent crosses ?
Asking for Nathan Broadheed and Ross Stewart. 😉

Seriously, I hope everything works out well for the young lad, and his family, and he has a memorable night at the match, on Tuesday.

Well done also, to your son, for his kind & selfless gesture, to the Ukrainian lad. 👍
👏👏👏👏👏

Gooch put in dozens yesterday 🤷‍♂️
The lad will see for himself on Tuesday.
He'll have 'Gooch" on his shirt before long

I’d be keen to donate a few quid if there is a fundraiser going

Could be a good news story for all involved with a new supporter for the club and good PR and hopefully the bairn enjoys himself

Something good coming out of a bad situation: what it’s all about
 
I hope the lad really enjoys not just the match, but the whole day because this could bring a memory which he could remember for a lifetime. Really good of @Doberman and @Guinness Guzzler to organise extra things for the lad and hope Chris Waters has something special lined up for the lad. In all honesty I think it's going to be an extremely good experience for all of yous and credit to you and your family for trying to sort this all out for the lad @exiled_in_manc

Thanks mate.

Yes it's all come together in a matter of hours. Absolutely unbelievable kindness from everyone.

Thanks again.
