Sevco fans have the opportunity to put their money where their mouths have been and donate a half million pounds windfall to their cash strapped tribute act.
Season tickets won’t be valid for Saturday’s glamour friendly with Marseilles giving fans the opportunity to pour in the cash that they’ve been holding back from their boycott of merchandise through Sports Direct.
Tickets for the match are just £15 for adults giving loyal punters the chance to give a Latin welcome to stars that Pedro Caixinha has recruited from Portugal, Mexico and Columbia.
With discounted tickets available for juniors and concessions a full house should bring in close to half a million pounds before VAT, costs and Marseilles match fee is deducted.
Caixinha has still to say a word since the aftermath of the Europa League defeat from Progres Niederkorn but will be back on the moonbeams to shift tickets for the visit of Marseilles who finished last season in fifth place in the French league.
Bruno Alves should make his debut in the game with some wise observers comparing him to last season’s superhero Clifford Hill.
