Maybe so, but one of our members has been the most generous so far.

Ah,  that will be Mr Anonymous then, I just can't understand why he doesn't donate in one lump.

Good mention on Quest just now.


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.

Yes I am very happy about that. The 3 people on EFL on Quest last night were the first 3 people I tweeted about it. Just a pity Colin didn't mention the name of the appeal. We have had a few donations off the back of it though.

Sorry, but I've had to bump this thread, certainly after hearing a young man of 18 years of age has taken his own life after being released by Manchester City...so sad, my heart goes out to his friends and family..

That's terrible news such a young age thoughts are with his family and friends.

Total seems to be stuck on just over 6,500 quid any thoughts on how we can generate any more apart from sharing ?

I don't think it's got a wide appeal in football. The page is very much about Ollie and Grimsby Town. A few people might help out, but I think it's going to dwindle out now that most Grimsby fans have seen it and made their decision.

Fantastic response from the fans and Holloway seemed chuffed with it.

I tend to agree, the accent on Holloway and the Grimsby Town angle rather than mental health generally may not appeal very widely

I think it might be time to wrap it up rather than stagger on and on. How about closing it when we have 500 donations (495 at the moment)


'We got 500 donations when we only wanted £500' that's got a bit of a ring to it and over £6500 total is fantastic

Alternatively set a new target say £7500 and close it then and invite John Fenty to make it up to a round £10,000

7,500 pounds is great figure and if we are close it might encourage a few to donate but asking for 500 they might think they don't need any more donations.

Just a thought.

Yes I've been umming and ahhing whether to change the target figure we are aiming for. I can see it from both sides.

I've had messages from people who have said they donated because we have been so successful and had gone so far over the original target, but I have had messages from others saying they would have donated more but because we have far exceeded what we were asking for.
The numbers of the first sort far exceed the second.
