Site Supporter barryk32 Posted August 19, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2021 I messaged her directly after this post to pass a message on. The reply I got was beautiful. If you send her something to pass on to Neil I honestly think it means a lot to them all. Quote Yes you can do! He loves hearing from people even though he struggles remembering, it always seems to brighten him up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members burnden Posted August 19, 2021 Members Share Posted August 19, 2021 It is great to see a good chunk raised for Mrs happys charity run innit , now that is has gone over 2k she must be chuffed. Can i suggest (or ask if there are any plans) to do some kind of fundraising at some point that will go directly to Neil and his family to help them out financially ? It can't be easy for them with Neil not being able to work for over a year now ... I know some on here have ran sportmsmans dinners / charity events and stuff and raised good money from them . (Hope i am not overstepping the mark here and will delete this post no probs if so ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone on here any good at organising this type of thing i wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention summer piss ups and away day pile ons. Be fitting for everyone to come together, hopefully Neil can see what the place means to a lot people and the good that its done thanks to him.

Be good to get the club involved - after all, WW has, as you say, played a massive part in boosting interest/attendance in all sorts of circumstances, from the greatness of Euro trips down to away followings in tougher times. Not on Facebook, so is there a mechanism to get messages to him through here? Are his WW "messages" able to be passed on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted August 20, 2021 Members Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) When we play Wigan away in April we could do a mass walk from the unibol to the DW what is it about 8 miles?

Only concern would be the obvious with it being against Wigan. Wouldn't want anything to detract from the effort etc. Alternatively, a walk fron town centre to the unibol, match and maybe event there afterwards?

Shorter, for those a bit knackered, but long enough to get attention, keeps it "in house", can shake buckets at passers by etc (though that's tougher nowadays as people will have less physical change on them, though publicity could encourage them to dig out their old stashes - might be happy to get rid of stuff). Maybe other club forums could help, though possibly we've spent too long slagging them off 🙂 Though the forum of the team we're playing that day could be involved, especially if they have no great beef against us. Sunderland in January? Are the "vloggers" still going? They have reach beyond just Bolton... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
