Also, what if the pledges add up to more than the winning bid? Are people happy for any cash left over to go the the Supporters Trust? Or a charity that Richard and Mattys' families would choose?
My other slight worry about this, is that I didn't know Richard or Matty, and don't know their families. Do we need to run it past them first? I presume there are people on the Fishy that do know them? I don't want to accidently cause any upset or distress to them.

Great! Here's what I've messaged the club via the ebay listing:

I saw that a name for the Pontoon gate was up for sale, and I thought that it would be a nice idea to name it after Matty Dawson and Richard Broadley, two young Mariners fans who passed away in 2011.
Would this be possible - two have two names on the gate? It might also create some good publicity for the club. I'm trying to raise money through the Fishy web forum on this thread: http://www.thefishy.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1325361419/
Please let me know if there's any problem with what we're thinking of doing.
David

We're up to about £60 in pledges so far on this thread. What I'll do is place an ebay bid when the pledges get past the current price, which is £87. Please keep spreading the word. This would be a great way to remember these lads. I have a paypal account, but I don't want to collect any money from people until we've won the bid, and then I'll pm people to collect their pledges.

I'll keep everyone updated through this thread.

Let's make this happen.

David
