bristolcitysweden Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 If I remember correctly a 18 year old Gerry made his City debut in July 1970 in a pre season friendly away against Holstein Kiel. City won two nil with Chris Garland scoring both goals. The very same game was a thirteen year old Swedish City fans first game - Garland-Sweden on this forum. No donation is to small and it is smoothly done. When we met up with Gerry in Weymouth two years ago I said something about players not being up to it in friendlies. I very soon understood this was nothing familiar to Gerry. It's know a grey Thursday in October and we are supposed to do our best as we always do. £5 I think we can afford for charity in the good name of Gerry Gow. RIP.

WhistleHappy Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Probably missing the obvious, but noticed on Gerry's just giving page the target total is listed as just £1,025 , wondering if that is a particularly significant number for some reason? I see that target has almost been reached this evening thanks to a particularly generous donation of over £500 by one anon supporter .... Expecting that target figure will be absolutely smashed come Saturday during and after the match... steadily increasing up to another peak on Nov 4th for Jerry's final goodbye. Hope by the time the just giving page wraps up the £1,025 target figure will have at least another 0 added to it... its a great cause in memory of a great guy and true City legend. But why the puzzling figure of 1025 ? (I'm sure its been mentioned by someone and I've somehow missed it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm sure its been mentioned by someone and I've somehow missed it) I imagine Tommy did not want to put to much pressure on people by setting a unrealistic amount - and to be fair, if annon had not contributed such a large amount then after all this time we would be struggling to break £400 ( 300+ people who had read this thread leaving hearfelt messages and the thousands who read the site you would think there would be more - but I think the Atyeo statue was the same, lot's of sentiment, but few people willing to give up their bigmac and chips for the day).

Admin phantom Posted October 19, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 The Evening Post asked me if they could run the story about Tommy setting up the JustGiving page - but not seen it??? Assume that something will be in our program on Saturday, maybe the link to the Justgiving page could be included? Not sure who to contact - is this something in your domain @AdamB?

I'm guessing the supporters trust will be setting up an official fund raising thing, that Just giving page looked like it was done very quickly as it contained no back story or info.

It's the same with most fund raising things. Children in Need and Comic Relief for example, effectively double the administration costs - at the CIN end and then again at the charity applying to them for funding. It's a difficult one though, without these big charity events it's highly unlikely that the British public would raise 80 million in a day, so you could argue that the increased admin costs are worth it. End of the day, if there is a charity you want to support and you can give to them directly it's more efficient to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough. Just a shame that the one in place contains words likely (at best) to confuse the family and (at worse), offend them. Even if the are associated with a very very generous donation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
