How old is your grandmother

Old enough to remember when CPFC last scored a goal.

But don't worry ... I'm sure the lads from Croydon will score a few tomorrow night. They always do. And the video can be posted to the BBS to cheer you lot up.

That's good, perhaps I could PM you my number so she could give me a call as I think I have forgot.

Dave pls may I have a mention...?

Are you sure there is an email? The advent of both the telephone and email seems to have passed the REMF team by.

What's happened mate?

 

[Bry Nylon]

I was on the 2013 REMF squad Just Giving page earlier and it seems to suggest that between them a 16 man squad has raised just over 2 grand to date? (And one donation alone accounted for £400 of that).

Is this right, or is squad / individual sponsorship being collected elsewhere too? Thanks.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Is there such thing as an organising committee these days or does Al just do his own thing while Jenkins picks the squad?

Doesn't some sort of binfest surround REMF every year?

A lot of people do fantastic work for REMF all in the interest of quietly raising money. The problem is that I think some others just do it to have their ego's massaged and inflated. When this doesn't happen there is normally a few flounces and binfests.

Agreed shame really because it's a great cause.

There are lots of people involved with getting the night running. In every event though there has to be someone who takes the lead, which Al does very well.

And to answer the earlier question, there is one team page and people also collect money offline that gets added in on the night.

Of course...I am happy to mention anyone ....hence my original comment if anyone wants a birthday mention etc etc.

BTW. I am well looking forward to the Crystalls strutting their stuff....and seeing Eddie mcgoldrick.....I remember him as a player many years ago.i wonder if dodge will scyth him down...lol

Thanks for the answer. It will be great to see what the 16 players have managed to raise between them (outside of the other "on the night" contributions, such as gate money etc). You'd like to think it would be somewhere in £8'000 - £10'000 region would be do-able. Good luck.

Would like to buy some raffle tickets- how do I pay? paypal / cheque?
Granny's message box full, it seems..

I know you're just saying it to get a reaction but quite frankly, that's ridiculous. I doubt any REMF team ever, will raise £8-10k just from the players.

Are you suggesting that an average of £125 each isn't really enough?

How much did the marathon runners raise per person?

Surely £500 per player should be the target? For a 16 man squad that's 8 grand. The idea is meant to be raising money, isn't it? Or is it actually playing football with Peter Ward?

We did when I played. Granted it was the first one, but I'm pretty sure we hit 5 figures

 

[Stumpy Tim]

This is the problem when the same players play each year. They can't ask the same people every year for sponsorship for simply playing a football match
