Fishy sponsor a player next season?

Just £133 left now to have enough to sponsor 2 players, so if anyone else wants to contribute it'll be a fantastic effort from us all if we manage to do it.

Wow. Another thing we at the Fishy should be proud of. Just need another £133 (who's going to give the odd £3?)

Maybe keep this going beyond payday Les. Might be a bit easier on the pocket for our sterling members, rather than asking for people to contribute when the end of the month finances are wearing thin.

Hopefully we can muster up the last 12% of the total in the next few weeks.

Les - just sent over 40 Candian Dollars (about 20 pounds) so you should see that shortly.

Received £22.25 mate, cheers.

Right, we have now smashed the 2 player total. As well as the extra donations coming in, I have had a rather large anonymous donation that has pushed us well passed the £1140 needed.

We now have £1175.25 in the pot.

Just need to decide which 2 players we are going to sponsor now.

Well done to everyone who has contributed.

Les and everyone who contributed - Great job!

Not sure best way to decide - maybe one of existing players from your list (Coke would be my preference followed by LJL or IJJr) and one new player (do a draw?).

Les - I think you should also decide what to do with any overage e.g. donate to Brain Tumour Charity or GTST as you have put in a lot of work on this and other initiatives.

Vote Erico for  fair deal!!

Just emailed Sam Strandt and got a reply straight away. He did previously mention that last season's sponsors have first pick this season, so if their player has left and they want to continuing sponsoring a player then they have first pick of the new signings.

I assume they have set a date for sponsors to express their interest for this season. This is the reply I have just had from him.

Evening Les.

Good to hear and congratulations on raising the funds for the two players.

Once we have a definitive answer from last seasons sponsors, I shall let you know exactly which players remain available.

Kind Regards

Put up a list of the players available Les and ask all those that have contributed to pick their preferred 2 players.

The 2 with the most votes get sponsored.

Just a thought.

When Sam lets me know the players available after last seasons sponsors have had their pick, that's what I will do.
