A children's clothes shop in Chichester is urging customers to buy blue on the eve of the FA Cup final and help raise funds for charity.
Owner of Swings and Roundabouts, Zoe Shardlow, is setting up a special rail of blue clothes and second-hand Pompey shirts tomorrow.
Half of the proceeds of any items purchased from the rail will go to the Tom Prince Cancer Trust, which was set up in memory of the 15-year-old who lost his fight with the bone cancer osteosarcoma.
Zoe, who will be travelling up to Wembley, wanted to do something to mark Pompey's first appearance in the Cup final since 1939.
And she could think of no better way than using blue items from her extensive range of clothes to show her backing for the Blues.
She said: "I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Pompey win and I am really looking forward to the big day at Wembley now.
"There are lots of Pompey fans in this part of West Sussex and they are looking forward to the FA Cup final – you can sense the levels of excitement are rising.
"With this being such a historic occasion for Pompey, I wanted to do something to mark the day and do something for charity as well."
Swings and Roundabouts, which sells second-hand, mainly French designer clothing, is situated at Mile Pond Farm, on the A286 Birdham Road.
