sorry Redraine, no secrecy intended! I didn't have the exact figures to hand and hadn't spoken to the people concerned (and still haven't) so I didn't want to post up just yet.

But what the hey!

Prizes will be given for money handed in up to the end of November, so thank you very much to everyone who has done just so.

1st prize of a signed Stanley shirt does indeed go the Rochdale fan who walked with us. Alistair Dowber raised a fantastic amount of £353 towards saving the future of a rival club. FANtastic effort Alistair.

2nd prize is for a signed photograph of a player of Janice Guilfoyles choice. Janice raised £263 which was another FANtastic amount.

I'd also like to thank Bob Eddleston and Danica Ashton who both raised over £200. In fact Danica was only £8 short of 2nd prize, so unlucky there.

But the biggest thanks of all goes to everybody who raised an amount of money, big or small. Hopefully it can all go a long way and help to cement the future of Accrington Stanley.

so far we have raised £2620 pounds (less £295 for the coaches and £36 towards the water bottles) but only 19 people have so far handed their money in, so this figure will hopefully double at least.

Finally I'd like to say a big thanks to KSH. Ken raised around £600 on his own but was reluctant to accept a prize as he was the one who had organised the prizes!! (I know how you feel Ken!) so its only right that he at least gets some sort of thanks. Please send your Karma his way.

Once the money has all come in I will sit down with Dave O'Neil and work out some way of using the money. Dave is fine with this and understands the full reasoning why it didn't (or couldn't) go directly into the SOS fund.

There will also be the wristbnand money to add to this amount. That currently stands at about £1400.
