Be honest, we could all do with a bit more cash, but there's allus a few a tad worse off than us, so it's time to support our fave charidees again
Once more unto the breach in our continuing mission to raise funds for hungry school kids and the Big Yellow Choppers that are saving lives all over Yorkshire - plus a few in Lancashire, and a few quid for The Jordan Sinnott Foundation too.
£180 was our total last season, only £31 down on our run at the play-off's the season before, thanks in a great part to ritchiebaby's £65 contribution, more than double his sterling effort the season before. Town having found themselves in the bottom 3 for most of the season finished up with almost the best form in the division over the last 10 games to er, comfortably (?) avoid relegation.
Oh, for a season of mid-table mediocrity. We are Town, we don't do that.
So we've now got six regulars on here and we'd really love to welcome some more on board. I realise money is tighter than ever this year and it's only going to get harder when the price of everything keeps going up again. 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 red/yellow card, score/save a penalty, get an international cap, anything, Town related or not. It doesn't even have to be football related as long as I can find the result to record it. Have a look at how we've mixed up the bag last season - http://www.sportsbabble.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=11558 - and pick your own choice(s).
Thanks jjamez for joining in part way through last season, looking forward to you joining in again.
The totals are updated after almost 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 donation pages for the above charidees. Town Foundation have moved on from Just Giving but If requested 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 if you wish. You know you won't win owt for trying but at least you know where your brass is going. If you'd prefer to donate to another charidee - throw it in there, it's your brass not mine.
So what's not to like? New playaz? Old playaz? 6 different clubs to play against again this season? New shirts too, wow. Such a novelty, you'd think we did that every season.
Can we make it past the 1st Round of the EFL Cup this season? Don't hold your breath on that one.
You can also have a pop at the World Cup qualifiers if you like, or the later stages of the Women's World Cup being played Darn Unda and in The Land of the Long White Cloud. You pick'em, I'll stick 'em in the totals somewhere.
Let's do it.
Just Giving Links - get your debit/credit cards ready folks.
All the donation pages are on JustGiving this year, which makes it easier. Thanks again for taking part, don't forget to donate, enjoy the Summer and see you all again in July/August when we go again.
