Definitely seems to have stimulated some interest, a few £500 donations in the last few days. Total above £18K now.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I went to the Two Tone Village on Saturday and one of the shops there is selling posters of the Houchen header and donating some of the charge to the appeal.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Made a great start but still opportunity for all fans to contribute to this worthy cause

When is the bucket collection at a home match? It would raise shed loads if correctly advertised.

You don't really see much cash these days

 

[oakey]

You see, a huge proportion of our fans are of the mature variety. Many of those will not donate any other way. If correctly advertised it would add a significant sum.
But if they don't want to bother.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Still going friends
Really want to give as many supporters the opportunity to say they were part of this

Would be a nice touch from the club/Doug to close the fundraiser now and pay the remaining amount in recognition of this cup run.

Another windfall for dinosaur arms Doug

It has never been about expecting supporters to pay for the statute it was and is and will always be about opening the opportunity to be a part of the initiative for every supporter that desires to be a part of it

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

How long will the fundraiser stay open until then? Is there a deadline? What happens if we still have raised enough 5 years down the line?

As long as it takes
It won’t

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

So it is about expecting the supporters to pay then because if we don’t pay the statue won’t get built

How can you take it that way from those two answers??

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Because you said the fundraiser will stay open for as long as it takes. What other way am I supposed to take it?

There’s a golf day
There’s a legends day
There are other events to raise money alongside the supporters fund staying for everyone to contribute
What’s the problem?

Would be fitting for FA Cup money to get their statue over the line.

Is there still time to alter it?

Be nice if it was George one side and Sillet the other, with maybe Robins in the middle as some kinds of ball boy.

That money should be used to strengthen the squad, leave the statue to the supporters it's our project not the club's.
You ether want to be a part of it or you don't no one is forcing you.

From your posts on here you don't won't to be part of anything you really are one sad bastard.

club should add a voluntary £1 per ticket for the semi and people can remove if they want to when checking out, could get very close to target if they did that and a far better cause than the fees charged for buying them

Club should pay for it mate really , its 200k they could use some of the Cup run money which if you think about it , would be fitting

I disagree with many on this

 

[skybluepoppa]

It’s becoming more and more like home….feels so much more now than it has in the past

Why? As Pete has explained it is open for fans to contribute and fundraisers are taking place. The club is in a better place for sure but those that were around in 87 and celebrated should have the opportunity to contribute to a lasting memorial to the architects of that success.

And I'm fine with that too tbh

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

And I'm fine with that too tbh

I’m fine with alternative opinions especially when they make me think
We’ll get there and no one will be able to say but I didn’t get the chance

Still waiting on a few larger donations that were pledged but they’ll come

Be funny if we win the cup and go up

 

[letsallsingtogether]

The FA cup final was one of my late fathers last games the look on his face and the happiness it brought him was worth my donation..
If everyone who was brought to ecstacy that day donated a couple of quid we would be home and dry by now.

PUSB

We are not that far away TBF still have plenty of time.

Anyone know the chair of leamington and warwick supporters

 

[shmmeee]

@rob9872 is a posh ticket stealer isn’t he?

 

[rob9872]

No mate, had nothing to do with them since L1 days when Juggy and Paul ran it.

I think Claudio who runs the Facebook group is involved and also Gordon Dando who does the Warwick walking football if you need to get in touch. They should also be part of the all party supporters group but not sure if they attend.

I doubt they'll do much though. They don't even sponsor a player or games these days. I think the Southam one that I go with some games and the Nuneaton and Bedworth ones are better equipped.
