AVFTT Sponsor a player fund

[GJJW]

Yep I think we should all give GJJW the clap.

Cheeky sod

 

[Big_Flag_Man]

Give Sarah a shout and get these ordered

 

[GJJW]

Only £245 to go to meet our second player target you lovely lot

 

[Big_Flag_Man]

What are the options for the second player ?

What are the options for the second player ?

Kemp
Lubala
Gabriel
Ballard
Sarkic

 

[Big_Flag_Man]

Ballard for me and to be linked with The Armfield Club.

 

[LA1 Seasider]

Would prefer to be sponsoring a permanent player tbh

 

[GJJW]

We can do another poll guys if we raise the funds.

 

[Simonized]

Love it!

Scrafters wants to hear from you GJJW.

Here’s his mail address
Matt.Scrafton@jpimedia.co.uk

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,

Matt Scrafton
Blackpool FC writer

Sarkic for me out of those.

Hopefully if we hit the first target quick enough, yes, why not?

Is 2nd player for AVFTT or Armfield?

 

[GJJW]

Is 2nd player for AVFTT or Armfield?

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.

I'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....

Great idea. Just contributed. Well done to all for the initiative.

Hopefully see a little spike in contributions.

 

[madatta]

Hi 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.

Great effort well done GJJW

A great write up that and very well said, Sir

 

[pooljimbo]

Good stuff @GJJW and good article.

I’ve just donated and it’s hit the £700 mark

 

[Ballaragh]

Donated....UTMP.

 

[GJJW]

£740 now raised. £100 to go to reach the second player mark!

 

[Simonized]

Hi 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

Only £100 to go

 

[ss53]

I'm in.

 

[TSSeasider]

Use a debit card not a credit card otherwise compete says no!!

Anyway £10 put in towards this great idea.

 

[Simonized]

Mentioned it on the BFC FB page on his arrival thread.

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.

 

[LA1 Seasider]

What a man.

Wow. So generous pal. Cheers.

 

[Rektseasider]

Should be done mate. If I’m right in thinking 840 was the target for two players?

 

[LA1 Seasider]

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

 

[Verdad]

Just seen this and chipped in #UTMP

 

[GJJW]

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?

Or a round for GJJW at the Armfield. Deserves it.

Very kind Sir but you guys have raised the money. Awesome effort. Proud to be a Seasider.

 

[SeasideKurt]

Done! Next poll required!

 

[Albert Ross]

Who will attend the meet & greet? May I suggest GJJW, as it was his brilliant idea in the first place.

 

[Verdad]

I’d be happy for any extra funds to go towards the armfield club, help them get things they need

 

[GJJW]

Who will attend the meet & greet? May I suggest GJJW, as it was his brilliant idea in the first place.

Again, very kind, but plenty much more deserving than me. Perhaps a draw.

Good idea!

How about any signed shirts from the sponsored players we get could be raffled to raise more funds for them?

 

[Albert Ross]

Again, very kind, but plenty much more deserving than me. Perhaps a draw.

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.

 

[Hevster]

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.
