FFS who do you think the high bidder is? I can only think of one person rich enough and daft enough to throw that sort of money around


And I would like to think you're right but I wouldn't look at it as throwing money around, it's for a great cause.

I totally agree but it would be more like you know who to make the donation by  buying Jolley's trophy for his mantelpiece, I wonder if whoever buys it would just give 4 grand to the cause without the trophy

It’s the sort of piece that would appeal to a general football memorabilia collector. Unique in that it is signed, rare as there are only 12 available per season (same design last year I think, not that we won any). I doubt it is a Town fan looking to buy it.

I personally would love to be in a financial position to give 4 grand for the trophy and then anonymously return it to it's deserved owner.

I wonder how much it costs to make one of these trophies?

I assume the base is made out of something like aluminium and not plastic or solid silver

Afraid not Les, not yet anyway but who knows, my book is published next month

I don't want the damn thing any more than Jolley, if I were to put up £4000+ it would be for the Mission but I'd do it on the understanding that I didn't get the bloody trophy

It will be a Town fan or a business with links to the club. They're not that collectable in terms of memorabilia, especially when you can get league 1 and 2 championship medals for less at specialist football auctions.



No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

So we know it’s not you either then Jock.

Whoever is the leading/winning bidder, there must be at least one other idiot/generous soul.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
