A BIT ABOUT THE CHARITY BLOG


Each year, me and my wife Hazel have decided to help a Charity, by donating 25p every goal we see at the matches we attend. Over the years, people and clubs have also donated as we have visited the grounds and we have raised over £2,300 in the 3 seasons we have run the Blog.
During the 2014-15 season, we are supporting "Support Dogs" who train Dogs to transform lives of people with Autism and other disabilities. So if you would like to make a donation(no matter how small) and you see me at a match, please come up to me or Hazel, we would be very grateful. All Donators will get a mention on the blog.

THE CROWD ENJOY CHARITY MATCH IN THE SUNSHINE

Charity Match
NOTTINGHAM LEGENDS 3 LEICESTER CITY LEGENDS 5
At Basford United FC
Attendance: Around 600
 
A hot sunny day for this match between the Legends of Nottingham and Leicester City served up a 8 goal thriller in front of a well attended crowd in aid of the superb local charity Wish Upon a Star.
 
Basford United's Chairman Chris Munroe kindly asked us if we would like to bring along our Charity Blog Programme table to the game and the blogging began promoting  this game.
On 0ffer was something for everyone, two bars, 3 places selling fresh hot food, a couple of bouncy castles, a cake stall, live music tent and a good raffle with some excellent prizes.
 
The stars turned out in force both on and off the pitch and I even had a photo taken with the European Cup before the majority of the crowd arrived.
 
The final score no one really bothered about apart from when I got home and the Nottingham Evening Post rang me for the final score as they knew I was there.
 
A great event organised by Basford United FC and they have arranged another Legends game on August Bank Holiday Sunday when Nottingham Legends will face Aston Villa Legends, this time in aid for Help the Heroes Charity.
 
I must thank Basford United for the kind £20 donation towards this blogs charity and we took £18.30p in programme sales, so the total for the charity SUPPORT DOGS now stands at £69.05p. I do have a few programmes from this game which I will have on sale at the Peterborough Groundhop next Saturday.
