c.hill12 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think 'ackey' would be the man to pin the topic. The best thing to do is get people to pm you their name, email address and how much they can donate to start off. When you have an idea we can approach the club to say this is what we have so far, please put story on os to help us further it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte_Baby Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 This is a good point. Who collects, keeps an eye on and returns the kids to parents who can't / won't go? Crack that one and this idea will be a success. When i use to coach football if somebody would take some of these kids they would jump at the chance if we couldnt most didnt bother if they where free tickets few would get a bus down.

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Rather than get one for a local club, or school, is it worth considering a link up with social services, to connect with the children who really have had a :censored: start in life? This is a very good idea. In terms of getting kids there is there a club mini bus that could pick kids up? Obviously would need some staff to look after them. I would guess most staff at OAFC would be CRB checked due to youth teams and kids attending games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepingthe Faith Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Maybe a free adult 'CARER' ST could be obtained from the club on a pro-rata basis to the kids tickets. In the same way they provide a Disabled carer free ticket. If you are able to get the club involved in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EASTLEY Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Count me in as well if we can co-ordinate this, more than happy to chuck in a few quid for a couple of children' STs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same way they provide a Disabled carer free ticket. If you are able to get the club involved in this? This could have legs KTF, as no precendent is being set. So could we focused on disabled kids, and also target those that have not had such a good start in life like you suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 This is a brilliant idea. Count me in. It'd be great if the club can get behind it. When we get Manure in the 3rd round of the cup, do I still have to queue up in the freezing rain for eight hours? - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticdickovarmy Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Ok I have spoke to a few charites but made NO assurances and hopefully the football club can be secured now Before we can proceed just waiting to know :- 1, Where we can pay money to - Waiting on playershare guys for this 2, If the club can put an ad on the OS for this 3, As for the transport issue nothing we could really do so I suggest we donate to club and charity who i am informed do have a transport they could use for up to 15 children Keep u updated, in the meantime anymore intrest please notify us on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_lover Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 As stated in the original thread I'm more than happy getting involved. Personally I'd be happier if they went to a proper organisation for kids who have had a hard start in life. Very proud of our fans for getting involved with this. Shows just how much the future of the club means to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammylatic Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi, to the company I work for I have just pitched the idea of donating an amount which can be converted to junior season tickets and then distributed out to local schools. Got the green light! Every little helps. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hey completely forgot to ask my boss - will try and get our company to donate too, I think loads of companies would if we could get them some publicity by the way. Maybe we could build this in to a separate scheme. Would the trust take ownership? It would also need some branding. How about the "Latics for Life" scheme?

rammylatic Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Laticdickovarmy - no worries mate. Looking to donate around 300 quid at the moment, so enough for 30 tickets. If I manage to have a bit spare at the end of the month I will look to donate a tenner. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
