Morning Craig,
Thanks for your email. Is anyone, either yourself or one of the other organisers, able to send over a few words about why you decided to sponsor a player and why you chose Gretarsson. Then I can put together something for you.
Is there a link to a Crowdfunder as well? I can include the link in my story.
Kind regards,

Is 2nd player for AVFTT or Armfield?Hopefully if we hit the first target quick enough, yes, why not?
If it's ok with everyone, and the guys behind the Armfield, I would suggest for them. One for AVFTT and one for the Armfield. We still have a way to go yet though.Is 2nd player for AVFTT or Armfield?
PMSLI'd be happy with any of that list for the second sponsorship. As we have a perm player as our first then I'm good with having a loanee as the second - quite a nice way to make them feel part of the club.
Oh and if you talk to Scrafters, GJJW, if he wants to know why Gretarsson be sure to mention it was because we hope he's a future star and BFC bringing an international onboard is a great show of ambition from SS, and had nothing whatsoever to do with us seeing a profile pic of his sister....
Hopefully see a little spike in contributions.Gazette article on the inititaive:

Great effort well done GJJWHi guys. The Viking is ours! AVFTT is now officially sponsoring Dan Gretarsson for the 2020/21 season. Martin Booker from the club has asked me to pass on his thanks to all from AVFTT who contributed.
Remember, we have till Sunday to raise enough for a second player.

Only £100 to goHi guys. I've set up a PayPal money pool fund (thanks to Kurt) for the above. I've kept it simple for people to contribute whatever they can. Can we please pin this thread admin?
Also, a suggestion has been made to sponsor the player in the name of the Armfield Club rather than AVFTT. Thoughts? Anyway link below:
AVFTT Blackpool Sponsor a player fund
AVFTT is a group of Blackpool fans who talk anything and everything BFC. With all lower league football clubs currently having a hard financial time, the idea is for AVFTT members to sponsor a BFC player for the 2020/21 season to provide much needed funds. Please contribute if you can.paypal.me
You got the quote from that pal?Mentioned it on the BFC FB page on his arrival thread.

What a man.That’s a very good write up mate. I think you said what we’re all thinking.
Tell you what I’m going to go on now and finish the target off.
Wow. So generous pal. Cheers.That’s a very good write up mate. I think you said what we’re all thinking.
Tell you what I’m going to go on now and finish the target off.
I chucked another £10 in myself - if it goes to player no.3 that’s great, if not let’s put a few quid in whatever charity needs it
Very kind Sir but you guys have raised the money. Awesome effort. Proud to be a Seasider.Or a round for GJJW at the Armfield. Deserves it.
Again, very kind, but plenty much more deserving than me. Perhaps a draw.Who will attend the meet & greet? May I suggest GJJW, as it was his brilliant idea in the first place.
Amazing generosity from all of you. Thanks very much. That's two players we can sponsor. In fact we are £10 over the target! I propose leaving it open till Sunday and any surplus funds can go to a charity like Trinity?
In that case perhaps you know some deserving child or whatever who would have his/ her life made much improved by having a photo with a player.Again, very kind, but plenty much more deserving than me. Perhaps a draw.
I think you may be overruled by popular acclaim on this GJJW. I think it more than fitting you represent us to shake The Vikings hand. You stepped up and got us all on board, you more than deserve to do it. Maybe the second spot (if we get another for our 2nd player) can be drawn from contributors? That'd work for me.Again, very kind, but plenty much more deserving than me. Perhaps a draw.
