Donkeeebles Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Could somebody possibly delete the other 2 Walk to Wembley posts please. I think I got a bit trigger happy with the Post button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City1984 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 That's a fantastic effort. Will you be wearing anything to be identified on Wembley way as you complete your challenge? I will pledge you a donation but won't have any money to give until the day so will have to be a cash deposit to your good self. Best of luck to you and the rest taking part. It's one of the best things you can do in your life to help someone less fortunate. Much respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkeeebles Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks. We will be wearing yellow T-Shirts or Hoodies with the companies that have sponsored us. If you're wondering why yellow it's because certain councils insisted we wear hi viz vests and it was thought that wouldn't be very comfortable so went for this option. Actually it surprising what obstacles Scott of the Darren Wright Foundation has had trying to organise this walk. The initial date of the walk was cancelled because the Metropolitan police wouldn't give us permission to walk on those dates, fortunately that worked in our favour as City got to Wembley just after so it was changed to match that. We can't collect with buckets in certain council areas and others we can. We can't collect with buckets at the stadium, Wembley Stadium gave us permission to do that, Wembley Council gave us permission to do that but the football league said we couldn't so that went out the window. Anyway thanks for your kind words City1984 and any donation at any stage would be gratefully received. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City1984 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Very disappointing from the football league. Any reason given for this. Maybe you should contact johnstones for a sponsor and a push on the bucket collections from them to the football league. Any ideal on your eta to Wembley way as I will happily be there to greet and donate what I can with a couple of others. After explaining to my boy about Oskar, he has decided he would also like to make a donation from his piggy bank so there will be 3 generations of us donating.

The Red Planet Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Chris Just made a donation (Rob) Any idea what time you and Oskar will be walking up Wembley Way ? Let us know - because I think a few hundred City fans should line the way each side and clap you in to the Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After explaining to my boy about Oskar, he has decided he would also like to make a donation from his piggy bank so there will be 3 generations of us donating. It's something to do with Oscars collection clashing with the Football leagues charity. Regarding our arrival time Oscar has to be at the stadium by 12oclock at the latest for his mascot duties. At a guess I would say between 11am and 12 but I can post the night before something more accurate when we know exactly how far we have left to walk on the Sunday. That's amazing about your son. My daughter came in to me one night and said she wanted to donate to Oskars fund as well. It melts your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Scott has been contacting anyone he can think of, he may have already contacted them but even if he has it can't hurt to contact them again.

Regarding the time I've posted above. This walk is going to be a killer for pretty much all of us. More than half of us are in our forties so the thought of fella fans clapping us it would be a huge motivational factor and make such a difference. With Oskar out in front I think it would be quite emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
