Hometownclub Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Great gesture and an excellent idea to try and get kids hooked at an early age, like I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed a great gesture and let's hope that some of the recipients become as committed to the club as he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Great gesture. I was thinking is this something that could be built on. Something for OWTB to get involved in? Or the Trust? (Please don;t use the word as an excuse to start a slanging match on the Trust debate) MAybe a targetted fundraising cmpaign ont his, we have all talked aobut getting the fans in at a young age Maybe rising money so an offer such as a free child season ticket when a parent buys a new season ticket to get new money and fans in, and it taken away if they do not attend a certain number of matches. Or an offer after if you produce say 10 match tickets by November so it could be an Xmas present etc It's jsut raising the money, I know. Food for thought, and to have a brainstorming session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stitch_KTF Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The bloke's a hero. I agree with Singe - this is the sort of thing I think the '92 in Blue' money should be aimed at as opposed to more traditional charitable organisations. Just my opinion like, I'm sure the charity to benefit is more than worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln Blue Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I wonder if it's the same Steve Standring that I was at Derker school with? We used to call him Spanner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
