Afternoon TEF-ers
As part of my fundraising for the London Marathon later this year I was looking to organise a charity football event. Ideally I was looking to have a 24hr football match. I know a lad at work who organised an event at Croft and managed to make £2k from his event. The problem I'm having is that nobody seems to want to help or provide a quote that is reasonable. I have contacted the following venues:
Link - Too much to hold event due to staffing costs
Croft - Can't hold event
Dorcan - £450 for a 12hr.
Next Generation - £250-£275 but are pissing me about.
Futsal - £3k! for a 24hr event.
Can anyone recommend a venue that can offer it for as cheap as possible?
All proceeds after costs will go to charity.

Highworth Rec? It's indoor but I struggle with an hour let alone 24 - the air con is pretty naff so it gets super hot in there.

Haydon Centre or what about the outside Oasis football courts they would need minimal staffing and overheads would be low as not keeping a building open over night. So cant see why that couldn't hold a 24 hour event, plus its away from housing so no one could complain about noise

Have you tried the other schools?
St. Joes, Greendown (I think!) and the one where Sippo works or worked, the name escapes me - over red house way. The Ridgeway...
The County Ground?

Schools wouldn't do it as they wouldn't stay open for 24 hours.
I work in Faringdon, but we have no astro/3G pitch.

Cheers for the suggestions. I'll get onto a few of them and see what they can do for me.
