Fair play to him. I hope that this will pick up awareness of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and raise a bit of cash in doing so. A bit of positive for the club coming when things aren't going so well on the pitch.

All good in my book, well done.

Indeed. He could have quite easily have just given a donation but the fact he's using his position to draw attention to the charity and their work is fantastic news for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust . There are over 160,000 registered charities in the UK, making it probably the most competitive market imaginable as they all have to raise donations. Just because there's so many charities it doesn't mean people give more, they all have to fight from the same limited pot.

Good luck, Paul. If as a club we were as good on the pitch as we are off it, we'd be champions of Europe.

Just to bump this -

If you are not aware, you can actually do it too if you can raise £100.

I think I'm going to go for it.

So that is why he has gone to America, he wants Randy to sign his sponsorship form!

All joking aside, fair play to him. I hope they raise plenty.

Only just read this, July 6th? Looks like we're stuck with Faulkner and co for a while yet.

Nice one. Post up a donation link, I'm sure you'll get a few quid.

Or he has been planning something for months and working out things with the charity and H&S and it will still go ahead whether he is still in charge or not.
