I'm sorry to come back to this one. I see that the thermometer on the SOS site has been stuck on £6763.57 yet according to the Blackburn Citizen, an American has donated £5000 and we know that the bucket collection raised at least £3500.

I do hope that someone at the club is in overall control of the appeal and is keeping a close watch on and account of the money being raised. I would dread there to be awkward questions asked later about money seemingly not accounted for.

It's also important for public relations that the thermometer is kept up to date. Otherwise there is a danger that cynicism could creep in and affect the fundraising efforts.
