Well its nice to know its got across the globe. We have had donations from Norway and 2 from Vancouver Whitecaps fans in Canada, as well as donations from supporters of Harrogate, Lincoln and Scunny, and they are some of the ones who have made themselves known. Over 50% of all donators have chosen to remain anonymous.

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Even though it is a non-footy topic I think it should be allowed on the footy side, to gain more traffic and awareness.



Sorry to disagree and I’m not really sure but I think it might be best to keep it non-football
People might be less inclined to get involved if it’s ‘mainstream’ and may be better to keep it away from some of the idiots and trolls we get on here - not that they couldn’t get to it, just that they probably wouldn’t bother If they know it’s a limited audience
Maybe just a regular reminder that it’s there for those who want to use it?

Surpassed ourselves as a fan base again, hats off to all of those involved in the setting up of crowdfunder.

The generosity from our own fans and the wider footballing community underlines what a decent human our Ollie is. Forget football, rivalries and all of the other stuff that comes with it - when the football community comes together like this, it’s at its strongest.

Ollie, my thoughts go with you and all of the other people involved with such a tragic incident.

Well done folks, beaming to be a mariner today.


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

Thatll be me then. I mentioned the idea yesterday and a few people said it was a good idea and that they would donate.

Litlle did I realise what a monster it would turn into.

I've had journalists asking for interviews too

Damn I hadn't thought of that. Will give interview for a generous donation. What do you reckon? Three figures?

Crazy to think it has reached this figure a week before payday!

I am skint until I get paid next week but I will definitely contribute.  I've struggled myself on and off for a few years but I've found this year particularly tough.  A town fan that I have never spoke to reached out to me earlier this week and it helped me dig myself out of a hole I was getting into.

I've tweeted UndrTheCosh who have had a massive impact on mental health so hopefully they put it out there too.
