Charity Football Match
 

Bamber Bridge Utd. FC are staging a charity football match on the evening of Tuesday 16TH December. Kick off 7-00pm
All proceeds will be for ex Accrington Stanley player, Stuart Howson.
Stuart suffered a double break of his right leg whilst playing in the Unibond 1st Division North League.
As Stuart is an associate PE teacher for a private school, teaching boys and girls with social problems, he will have no income for the duration of his incapacity.
Any one wanting to check out if Mr. Coleman and Mr. Bell can still practice their preachings ;) , please come along as both have pledged to play in the match.
Numerous prizes, including signed Premiership shirts are to be raffled and the social club will be open.
Full details of players taking part and guest appearances will be announced nearer the time but any support would be appreciated.
Thanyou.

Sounds like a worthwhile cause,me and my mate grimps will be there weather permitting,if coley plays he might lose a bit of weight on the other hand should we bring a portable defibrilator lol.joking aside if it helps a player through hard times then it's got to be worthwhile,lets hope you get a good gate on the night.

Re: Charity Football Match
 

Just hope the Brentford game does not get re-arranged for the 16th

Re: Charity Football Match
 

Would be pretty bad plannng if it did, pre-Christmas gates are bad enough without sticking one in voluntary.

Re: Charity Football Match
 

Sorry K P, forgot to say yes, it is the FCUM manager down to play.

Re: Charity Football Match
 

Thanks for that K P.
Generous again.

Re: Charity Football Match
 

Nice to see the total raised, but the burning question is - what was the score - not that that really matters. Wished I could have come but unfortunately, I have been laid low and not even sure if I will make the match against Rotherham this saturday!!!

Re: Charity Football Match
 

Finished 3-3 ozzy.
Coley and bell both scored.
Actually some very nice football played before the pitch cut up.

Re: Charity Football Match
 

Great to hear what the total was just wish there had been a few more there but i'm sure the money will help stuart through a difficult period.Spoke to stuart and he seems a real nice guy and i wish him well for the future,it was brilliant thing to do for him and credit to Bamber Bridge fc for going ahead with the match in the conditions.Credit to the players as well who put on a good game played in good spirits considering the weather,got a few laughs during the game as well (coley with a facial mud pack etc)congratulations to all involved for a job well done.best wishes to Bamber Bridge fc for the future,and i'm sure you'll see me grimps and carbuncle les coming to watch a league match one saturday when accy are away.cracking clubhouse by the way,
best regards
afrikaaner,grimps and carbuncle les.

Re: Charity Football Match
 

Thats true Afrikaaner i did meet them. Just that i tried to thank so many for braving the elements i got confused !
Some great lads from FCUM also there on the night. Glad everyone had a good night. Hope we do see you again through the season as we are poorly supported for such a good set up.
Best wishes to all on the forum and Merry Christmas.
