Title: Foodbank collection tomorrow
Post by: dave.woodhall on December 08, 2023, 12:29:45 PM: Aston & Nechells Foodbank will be collecting before the match tomorrow; cash and food donations welcome.

Anyone who thought it was safe to come down the match with their money over the past few years may have to think again.

Around the ground I believe but food can be dropped off at the church.

Apologies if this is not allowed. I just thought for those who may not be attending or not wanting/able to donate at the match but still want to give.
