Looking through teletext this evening, and there was a bit on Martin Allen doing a sponsered bike ride to raise money for the club (Brentford).

Dedication. Think it was mentioned on here before that he is one of the fans- fair play to him. I see Dick mackey ran the half marathon on sunday. Wonder if he got sponsers for the club? I think its a great idea.

What could we sponser Iffy to do. I suggest sponser Cracker eating...

It was Brentford fans who said if they stayed up a season or so back....then they'd walk to Hartlepool....they did... so they did and got sponsored and did collections on the way.

  I'm sounding like I'm talking myself into this now, but a similar challenge issued through the media could generate some interest in our plight.

You and Amir are the forums walkers Reg.

If we stay up you can walk to Doncaster :D

Now a sponsered Pub crawl :P

 The Brentford boys though kind of marched up the A1....I'd want to work an interesting route, involving the odd LDP...disused railway canal etc.

 Got to be Hartlepool....we could discuss the relative merits of Milan Kundera or Milan Baros.

In other news the organisers of the 200 mile whale walk have fallen at the first hurdle after they realised that whales cannot walk.

sorry but just seeing if avatar has worked!

if you can call that worked!!! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

what?

and its about time you were given a name ...

 A walk to Wales ....would be good though, for the Swansea game.

  Old railway to Cricklade...bit of Thames path to Kemble follow the Severn a nd Thames canal to Stroud...arrange a boat to cross teh Severn to get to Cinderford...through Forest of Dean to Monmouth then pick up Offa's Dyke path to Black Mountains cross to Brecons and then down into Swansea.

 Failing the boat, swimming the Severn that far up might be feasible, otherwise a bum stretch up to Gloster.

Wicked idea there Reg but how many do you anticipate to partake in it?

Swansea should be a good awayday .. new stadium and all that :mrgreen:

 Probably just me.....solo walking is good though.

get a crowd would be good fun!  I think quite a few would if it was organised properly.

 I'd anticipate you'd need about 5 full days walking  to do...route would be good...I've done most of it in bits, the problem is the Severn.

  Black Mountains are OK to cross as its more or less a plateau once up, Brecons would be more challenging to find a reasonably direct route, as there are some big old lumps around.

  Being organised is not something I ever get accused of.

You put the idea in someone else does the organising ie. RT as he has already proved he can!!!!

I'd be up for walking somewhere to raise money for the town

Speaking of which, Swansea have now announced a new sponsorship deal, so the stadium is now known as the 'Liberty Stadium' - I know you were all dying to know that.

Not the Liberty X Stadium??


Hmm JESSICA!!!!

That's nearly as bad as the 'New' Stadium.  In pre planning it was always known as the Morpha stadium, I like that it actually relates to the placnot sponsors

she looks like a fucking guy!!! michelle tho... *purr* she's mint
