Stevie_J 3,724 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Here's something that's never been done before! @Benja, despite a strong performance last season, has informed us he won't be signing up this season. That means a place in the Premier League is up for grabs, so we're going to auction it off for @opinions4u's chosen charity, The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. Stick your bids in this thread or send to me by PM. Auction will end at noon tomorrow. For anyone who has signed up already, your £5 already paid will be treated as part of your bid (i.e. winning bid of £20 = additional £15 to pay). Only the usual £2.50 will go to OWTB running costs, with the whole additional amount to be donated to The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One player won based on FT, the other based on AET, so I promoted both and relegated myself. Bid's at £30... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry doc if I've caused confusion, never my intention to interfere in a auction, I will donate the 35 whoever wins, I suppose that way the bid stands at 35 with 24hrs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
