Dunno, Mab, it doesn't say...

Save our Stanley
Monday 14th Sep 2009

Fundraising round up
Friday evening’s match against Darlington brought in around £18,000 for the Save our Stanley fund, taking the total now to just over £75,000.

Speaking about the figure Stanley chairman David O’Neill said “It is very encouraging to have brought in so much in the first few days of our campaign, and we would like to thank everyone that has got behind us over the last week or so. There is a long way to go but it is great to know that we are not alone and that there is strong support for Accrington Stanley.”

The fundraising match at Burnley last week brought in £35,000, with the remainder made up of our very well supported bucket collections and individual donations either through the website or from people calling into the club.

David continued “The generosity of the people who have come to the club with their donations has astounded us, we have had a cheque for £5,000 from an anonymous donor, and a gentleman brought in £1,000 cash to help the club on Friday night. And I think that one story that has touched everyone’s hearts is young Hannah who brought in and emptied her piggy bank to help her local football club. We will never forget the help we have received, and as a club we must make sure that we repay the faith shown in us.”

Details of the next round of fundraising activities will be announced shortly.
