Well that would be me thenIn 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.

YepShall I contact the Armfield Club to make them aware we are proposing to sponsor a player on their behalf you think?
How about you can do one and draw from those who donated for the second, for me you can do both.Again, very kind, but plenty much more deserving than me. Perhaps a draw.
I am sure the club would give some leeway.Wouldn’t that then become a business sponsorship?
I can check with Martin at the club to find out. Hopefully be ok.Wouldn’t that then become a business sponsorship?
I’m sure either way between us we can all raise the funds. If they want it as a business sponsorship then it’s more money it to the club as a result anywayI can check with Martin at the club to find out. Hopefully be ok.
Just asked the question pal.I’m sure either way between us we can all raise the funds. If they want it as a business sponsorship then it’s more money it to the club as a result anyway
I'm up for that pal!If we do sponsor a player on behalf of the Armfield Club they’ll have to try arrange a ‘pint with the players’ type of night.
Ok guys. Just heard from the club. If we sponsored the second player on behalf of the Armfield Club, it would be classed as a business sponsorship which is £900 + VAT. Still some way off raising that! At the mo, we have more than enough funds to sponsor 2 players as fans. Perhaps we stick to this and donate any surplus funds to the Armfield club?
That is another option pal. Perhaps split it if we raise enough.For me, I think any excess would be better given to Trinity as suggested.
I see it that way tooA third of the way there, in an hour!!
Makes a change.....Not trying to be a ** or anything, but probably better to donate the remainder to a charity rather than a business.
Yeah fuck the armfield clubYeah fans sponsorship
We can have fans sponsorship x 2 for £840Yeah fuck the armfield club
I was agreeing you with you Shelly, if the armfield want one, they should pay for it.We can have fans sponsorship x 2 for £840
To do the armfield club sponsorship x1 player it’s £900 + vat
So it makes sense to have two fans player sponsorships and give any excess to charity
If you want to pay £900+ Vat seasider for 1 player sponsorship go head and do it.
Oh sorry I thought you was being sarcastic lolI was agreeing you with you Shelly, if the armfield want one, they should pay for it.
That seems to be an excellent ideaHow about, we donate any surplus funds to a charity, but donate the signed shirts to the Armfield club, meet and greet etc, to the Armfield club to allow them to raffle them off for funds? Win, win? Just an idea. Trying to keep everyone happy
Not bad for 24 hours! 2 and a bit players sponsored!£980 to date you lovely lot
Well we all stick together us pool fans don’t weNot bad for 24 hours! 2 and a bit players sponsored!

Yes, and if we get close to 3 I will be chipping in again......We have enough already to sponsor two players and have another £130 already...we have all the way to Sunday to see where we get to... Maybe a 3rd player or charity...see how things go imo.
At this rate we will be able to buy a player next seasonIts £1260 (I think) to sponsor 3 players. We are currently on £1010.
