Posted via Mobile Device. 2 shirts sold, which added a tenner plus extra £2.61 pledged so far in the giftprint sos fund kitty, that will be towards a grand total running till near to the required deadline, rather than drib's n drab's, which is all logged upon every sale so all above board. Nice to see all the guy's wearing the shirts and we have 1 in window to promote atm too, the town was truelly red n white today. Thanks to all that have supported and will continue to support the cause.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Well I'd like to personally thank the Bury fans today, what a great friendly generous thoughtful lot they where, many stopped for a chat and asked what was going on and I think they all wished us luck in the fund raising. They weren't just throwing loose change in, they were opening their wallets, when I thought I'd finished and was walking towards the turnstiles a guy stopped me and asked if I was collecting for Accrington Stanley, when I said yes he said "Here mate you can have this, I've just emptied my savings jar for you" and produced a plastic bag full of coins - I was speachless for a min, what a great gesture, JT witnessed it, don't think he could believe it either

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Well done to all The Shakers Fans for their help :) :) Just cannot wait for Friday night :D :wave8: :wave8: :wave8:

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

That's brilliant K.S.H

Re: Ultras bucket collection

:theband:

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Thats great news

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Good effort by all concerned

Re: Ultras bucket collection

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

That's amazing lads & lasses - they part with their cash then we nick the 3 points as well :) - seriously that's absolutely brilliant, well done to all the collectors & big thanks to the Bury fans

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

What a FAN-tastic effort and an even more fantastic result !!

WELL DONE EVERYONE !!

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Fair play guys n gals...................superb result all round, well done :)

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Well Done

Just texted the Football League show the SOS website address, but theres no ex.premiership teams on it so there may not be bothered.:(

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

£3500 from a bucket collection, I'm stunned.:)

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Anfield maybe next week

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Quality effort today.....£3.5K from a bucket collection is a fantastic total !!! However... the tall leggy blonde with the fishnet tights on may have helped the cause!!!! Truly stunning !!!

Talking 'Bout the cash raised of course!!!!!:D

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

I was talking to some Bury fans in their Social Club before the game who said it was a while since they heard the rattle of buckets and acknowledged how much Stanley helped them in there hour of need. Bury fans today in the most part reciprocated that help.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Fits well, thanks :)

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

The response today from the people of accrington and the supporters of our neighbours Bury would only be belittled by words

£3500 raised from buckets.... beyond what we could even dream of

its one of the many little steps made by everyone which will make this mountain of a challenge achievable

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

I tip my hat to the collectors and those magnificent anonymous people from Accy and Bury that have donated $$. Very touching.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Why not stay closer to home ;)

Saturday, 12 September 2009
Barclays Premier League
Blackburn v Wolverhampton, 15:00

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Hi lads

Great to hear you did so well yesterday, well wih the Bucket collection anyway :rolleyes:.

I just wnated to say that although you won Ive not heared one Bury fan say theyve changed their mind about Friday and I think that is fantastic.

Ive had over 300 pledge so far and Ive had PMs off loads saying they are bringing 5,6 and 7 people.

Ive spoken to Rob who recommended we go in your Goal end so Im trying to get has many as possible in there to get the atmosphere going.

No hard feeliong about yesterday we couldnt score against a pub side at the moment for some reason.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

dont think you need to worry about the atmosphere buddy!!

but it will be good to have the end filled for a change


Bury give us a song, Bury Bury give us a song

Morecambe give us a song, Morecambe Morecambe give us a song

etc
etc

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

We are planning to visit both Liverpool V Burnley, & Blackburn V Wolves next Saturday. If all goes well, we hope to collect from other clubs the following week.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

And Preston

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Blackburn fans are already ready able and willing to contribute it appears

£10,000 donated to Stanley in two days (From Blackburn Citizen)

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

I think its a great effort by everyone involved in doing there bit to save our club and the generous support we have got from our friends in bury when you think of players at man city like robinho who are on 160k a week it really puts things into perspective, 308k to man city would be like 50p to them, has anyone got in touch with them to see if they could help us out.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

would hope someone at the club could use contacts n try it Rob249, cos owts worth trying in my eyes.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

When the club first announced the tax debt back in May, a friend of my mum's wrote to every club in the north west asking if they could help out. The only one she got an answer from was Preston North End who offered to play a friendly match, she passed the letter on to the club so would be a good idea to follow that one up.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

I thought Marcelle had some contacts at City? If there was ever a time for her to be using them, it has to be now! Would've thought a news story on the lines of "the richest club in the league helps out the poorest club in the league" would have fantastic Google Page Ranking possibilities for City and would probably make the nationals.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

that was exactly what i was meaning, the great Google Page Ranking fer city never occured to me though good idea Wynonie, add the that the great P.R. n Kudos Marcelle would get if she could pull a stroke like that off,;) would make her an all time Accrington Stanley Heroine.:) nowt ventured, nowt gained, over to you Marcelle.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Well, this is what she said when she was appointed to the position, so hopefully she's now going to deliver the goods...

“Dave will be doing the everyday running of the club and I intend to bring in some of my contacts.

“I deal with football clubs from the Premier League all the way down and, hopefully, I can help in that way.

“There's going to be an awful lot happening over the new few months. It's going to be really exciting for the club.”

She was spot on with her observations in the final paragraph, wasn't she? :D

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Posted via Mobile Device Lmao wyn spot on indeed, but a great point made about making use of contacts. Burnley have taken the lead with support how about other north west clubs ie manchester/liverpool way?

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Has anyone thought of a bucket collection during a midweek evening in Alderley Edge when Prem Footballers might be socialising there?

I have seen a few when I have driven through on my way to Congleton.

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

Superb effort yesterday, thanks to the Bury fans in town where a few of us went with some buckets and to the fans near the ground! Some amazing contributions by them, either by notes or coins!! and to the many words said by them and telling me they hope we get this sorted! Im also glad most fans remembered we helped them out and also advised fans that wouldnt give money because they had no interest that we helped their club!! The Accrington fans really did the club proud yesterday and to match the result and the drinking in the crown it was a very good night indeed!!

We really did well on saturday and thankyou bury fans alot!!

Also ive had a few emails from some people and there have been buckets outside many football grounds, the latest a few buckets at Crewe!!

On Stanley On!!!

Re: Ultras bucket collection
 

that's good news, I know we've had the bucket around a few times in the past and although they rarely made a lot, they all still count.

Good on em all.
