To Nick and all participating,
All the very best for Saturday. Your efforts are truly exceptional and the gesture as fine a tribute as anyone could have paid. I very much hope y'all raise and exceed your target total and I look forward to appluading your efforts at there that Huish Park.
Godspeed.
Fantastic gesture indeed.
Unfortunately, it looks like I may have missed the boat (not train) on this occasion. After learning that the game was postponed and that I wouldn't be able to get a refund, I transfered two return tickets to a later date (namely for this weekends trip to Leyton...
