TIME TO PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH OR FAVE PLAYERS ARE AGAIN

We're off again on our mission to raise funds for starving kids and the Red and Yellow Choppers that are saving lives all over Yorkshire - plus a few in Lancashire.

£142 was our total last season, a £12 improvement on the season before. Onwards and upwards with a spring in our step and the the chance to watch football in the stadiums (stadia???) again

So we've got five regulars on here and we'd really love to welcome some more on board. I realise times are hard, more than a few have been a victim of the Covids if not in terms of health then jobwise one on these boards. Still, there's far worse off than me and thee and we can do a lot worse than put a decent breakfast in a kids belly before they start their school day. 

So how does it work?

Send a reply to the thread and name a player or players, a team or teams, matches between certain teams or any combination you like and what you are willing to pay for each time they score, win, draw, lose, get a card, score/save a penalty, get an international cap, have games postponed due to the Covids (lets hope this isn't a factor this season) or shifted by those plonkers at Sky. Anything, Town related or not. Have a look at how we've mixed up the bag and pick your own choice. Hell, I've thrown Baseball results into the mix before now. It doesn't have to be full pounds either but birdseed is a bit more than 'tuppence a bag' these days so don't be penny pinching.

The totals are updated after every match (if I don't fall asleep for a couple of games or there's just nowt to report). At the end of the season we pay the money we've pledged per point into Just Giving pages for the above charidees. If the totals are high enough, I'll set them up by Christmas so the strain on your wallet/contactless card is spread a tad more thinly. Set your own limit. Just like playing the lottery. You know you won't win owt but at least you know where your brass is going. If you'd prefer to donate to another charidee - throw it out there.

So what's not to like? Going to matches? New playaz? Old playaz that still want to be here? New shirts, with a new sponsors name on 'em, wow. Such novelty.


Let the fun and games begin.

Anybody had a cold this past 18 months? Me neither. Keep washing your hands folks - don't forget to have shower too.

Now, when was the last time Town made it to Round 2 of the EFL Cup? 

Weren't we here this time last season?

Right so how do we sort that out - do the penalty shoot-out pens and pen saves count or not?

[Amelia Chaffinch]

They do for me.

[Lord Snooty]

Yes. Stick 4 quid on, theo.

Cheers, that's you two off to a flyer then

PS Snoots - O'Brien took one of the penalties, actually the winning penalty - so It's a £5'er for you. It's been Christmas before you've amassed this amount of money in recent seasons. Keep it up.   

Don't worry, you're not top - AmChaff scored £6.

Right so Hoggy got his customary yellow in normal time so that's one for me. Scott High, listed in the Town B squad on the website when I took a pdf of the squads last week, started so that's one for SHEP. I'll go back and post those as attachments in the OP and/or here.

Penalties - according to the Beeb Beeb Ceeb website ....

Jordan Rhodes, Sorba Thomas, Danel Sinani & Lewis O'Brien scored for Town, Lee Nicholls saved two.           

So I make that an amazing £11 in one game in the Amchaff/Snoots household. Fantastic start to the season.

Will Snoots now jump on the Jordan Rhodes bandwagon to slow down his goal scoring exploits?

Somehow ritchie missed out in all the mayhem - but it won't take him long to catch up.

A £13 start might be unlucky for some but we'll take it. 

Hell, when was the last time we hit those kind of numbers in one match?

It's absolutely MASSIVE. Oh hang on, don't someone on these boards call themselves that? Can't think who? 

Did I miss anything?

The pdf's are apparently too big to attach

Whoops - £7 for Amchaff, SHEP is only league games, corrected in the table above

[Amelia Chaffinch]

That looks really healthy for a change!

I expect Snoots to join in again around Christmas, well, he usually does.

Christmas is a really bad time for Snoots. I have to tell him how much I want to give to the nephews and nieces. He says it's too much. I let him stew on it for a few weeks. Then we give them what I said at the beginning.
