Went to watch el Rorio in action tonight. Played well, but still suffering from the 'don't get passed the ball enough syndrome.' Anyway, one topic of conversation on the way home from Cambridge at the weekend (other than Le goalkeeper le rubbish) was the possibilty of sponsoring Rory. At Blackpool, the players kits (both home and away) are available to sponsor. Rory's home shirt is already taken, but not his away shirt.

The general consensus among those on the coach was that it would be a good idea for us (all involved with Stanley) to put something towards sponsoring him - a goodwill, thank you gesture if you like.

I'm not sure on how much it is, but who would be interested? Say £10 each depending on numbers. I doubt it would more than £200 to do it.

I know some may think its a bad idea (ie giving money to another club) but Rory did take time out to talk to fans and was always held in very high esteem by all who got know him well and he liked the idea when I mentioned it to him tonight.
